A Testament to the Claim that Lawyers Can Do Whatever They Want
Today, at work, I went to the courthouse in San Jose to watch a criminal trial that the attorney I work for was in. The trial ends up lasting much longer than anticipated (from 2pm to about 6pm), and Tom (the attorney) decides that he does not have time to drive me back to the office due to a haircut appointment that he had. Because of this, I accompanied him to get his haircut in Mountain View.
Upon our arrival, Tom decides that he does not feel like finding a parking spot. Oh no, that was for your average joe. Instead, he decides to DRIVE UP ONTO THE SIDEWALK RIGHT IN fRONT Of THE HAIR SALON. And, of course, he was driving a brand new 2007 Mercedes. I couldn't believe it. He was not partially on the sidewalk; he was completely on it, blocking pedestrian traffic. Gosh, lawyers are a trip.

Incidentally, I read an article this morning in TIME (sorry, my parents subscribe) that made me think twice about blogging about anything work related.

Also, in some places in the world, you are actually supposed to park on curbs. These sidewalks are desigated by signs showing a little black pictogram car with one wheel up on a little black pictogram curb. Yet I am quite certain there are no such traffic signs in Mountain View.
Hey look! There's a mother effing car on a mother effing curb!
Your new job sounds like funcakes. :)
