The premise of the show being the associate lied about attending law school and I can't remember/work out if he ever took the bar under his own name, but he must have, somehow-

For some reason I don't think so, though I don't know why he wouldn't. Maybe having part of he paper trail be real makes it less likely to hold together?

It's one of those things I wonder if they intended to hold onto it for the whole series. I'd point to Burn Notice and suggest they don't. Good god, that opening speech and montage DRIVES ME BATSHIT. I don't care how realistic it might be for the same guy to be hung up on the same thing for forever--it doesn't make it interesting.

And Suits doesn't have the millstone of the title or opening credits hanging around its neck. It could become "just" a show about an eidetic prodigy and his master closer mentor and the fucking hyper-competent women they work with, all of whom are pretty much painfully gorgeous.

That I will continue to watch, even without a secret as a hook. But maybe if they could tone down the stakes a *wee* bit each episode, it would be a bit more relaxing.

Jesse, I wasn't sure if these would fit the tumblr mandate well or not:

My next work task is to send out an email in about 12 minutes. The email is already written and stored in drafts. You have no idea how convinced I am that I'll cock it up.

Oddly, my bff who is an attorney and has a RULE about lawyer shows (she generally just says no) - enjoys Suits. It's the relationship between the two guys that does it.

Thanks, Calli! He's pretty fabulous, I gotta say.

Well, after getting jack all done yesterday, today is shaping up to be more productive.

The bummer is that the SO has caught one of the kids' colds, so he's probably going to be out of commission for the upcoming week. Which pretty much sucks, seeing as we haven't had a normal week in forever. But he covered my tail a bunch, so it's time for me to cover his, I guess.

Shit, I can't claim K-Bug anymore. I knew that but forgot when I did a first run through my taxes. No new washer/dryer for me. At least not as soon as I'd like.

All it takes for my day's plans to be scattered to the bitter cold wind is one human who's "coming by in an hour or so". So I didn't go for a walk because I didn't want to be gone when she got here, and I didn't start painting because I didn't want to be in the middle of it when she got here. And now I'm doing nothing, just waiting for someone who wants me to do her a favor.

My brain doesn't switch gears easily. It's hard for me to do a thing while anticipating an interruption.

One of the team members has disappeared. I don't know if I'm supposed to ask about it, or what. She told me about an error message that was appearing, and I said I'd have to go to our manager with it for a decision on how to handle it, because it would affect our budget, and she sent me a huffy email that ended with "Well, it's not my project!" and then ditched the next (important) meeting and hasn't replied to any emails that have been directed to her.

Previously she wasn't working the project this weekend, but then she became available. Plus she disappeared during the work day on Friday,, not after hours if she was still not working the OT project.

She's ridiculously unprofessional--the one my boss calls incompetent, but my manager is very defensive of her, so I'm hesitant to even ask. But she can't possibly be this petty, can she? Mad at me because I'm escalating an issue she found? I'm not burying it, I'm bringing it into the light. And since she only found it, not caused it--if there's a hero in the story, it's her.

Some days (Monday->Friday, some weekends) I don't understand people.

I made it out of the house for a walk!

Which somehow turned into brunch at the nearby Mexican hole in the wall,but at least I walked here.

I need to start thinking about my taxes, but I still don't have my W2, so it may not happen soon.

Migraine. Can't sleep. Too bright. Not happy.
