If I answered the phone and told trhem I wasn't interested i expect the insurance people would stop ringing every night... that would be the sensible thing to do .... i find ignoring it much more proactive (!)
Yesterday I was at a lecture about Sex Offenders - well more about the laws behind it - it was done by a lawyer who was advising the police the correct way to lodge different Court Orders etc - he was very peppy, full of energy etc - loads of horrible stories about different cases etc - he kept using himself as examples too - repeatedly saying "So, If I buggered a boy...." - He was very knowledgable and personable etc - but in the midst of his lectures he pointed out that he was both a prosecuting solicitor for CPS AND a defence solicitor, pointing out that if he is acting as defence he will use ANY loophole to get an offender off, and have absolutely NO qualms, as his sole purpose is to "Win at any cost" ..
- I know that defence solicitors have to defend some hideous people, and I used to wonder how they resigned themselves to that, sionce doing this job I've beenable to understand a little more (tho my role is giving support and facilitating change etc, NOT about getting people off) - but how does someone juggle those two totally juxtaposed roles?
I have pains. :( Why isn't there a way to prevent periods altogether ( apart from hysterectomy )
Neighbours yesterday had terrific Harold - and Skye was goo dtoo ( both peep I don't normally have soft spots for ) Am excited for tomorrow's ep - I've even had extra plot bunnies floating around in my head (And PAUL! Paul was mourning for Dyl today)
Did nothing at work today - one report, that should have taken 2 hours at most took all day because I could simply not get focussed. pah, means I'm behind for rest of week now - but I have Friday AND Monday off, so I expect I can cope...!
I can't remember if I mentioned this, I googled my Grandpops last week - and found my family tree! - someone has gone back as far as 1744 - I didn't spot anyone important in the history tho (Except My Grandpops of course!) - Can't imagine bits of me stretched back that far tho - or someone having the patience and resource to trace that far.
I'm in one of those stupid moods where I want to keep on writing, but this is all rather pointless... I will just say that after the shock of stumbling on Vimes Slash I now cannot get it out of my mind!
but will go now....
