First, let me say I that I’ve noticed that I used lots of words in my last post. For that, I apologize. To whom? To my husband, who is probably the only one that reads this. Its good for him to read it, though, because as I’ve previously stated, I never want to talk about work, although he has been giving me opportunities to do so. See, there just normally isn’t much to say. Or, maybe I’ve got too much to say. Who knows.
Anyway, this post is not about not wanting to talk to my husband. It’s about not wanting to talk to clients. There are lots of reasons why I don’t want to talk to them. First and foremost, I’ve got nothing to tell them. I saw you in court yesterday, and I told you what happened. NOTHING has changed between last night at 7:30 and 10:00 a.m. this morning. No, I didn’t get in touch with the D.A. or your probation officer or parole or your mom or all of the witnesses you want to testify on your own behalf. Second, I still don’t have the information you want. I know you want your bail back, and as soon as I’ve got it, I’ll tell you. If I don’t have it, you won’t hear from me. I’ve heard about your needs/wants/desires/witnesses/mother’s health a thousand times. Also, I am not your social worker/psychologist/person you vent to. I am your lawyer. So, if I don’t speak to you every other day about your ‘feelings’ you have to understand its my job to protect you legally and to make sure your sorry ass doesn’t end up in jail or prison any longer than absolutely necessary.
