What a Relief

So, some days slogging through all of the little tasks on cases can be a bit mind-numbing. At times like those, I try and remind myself of the bigger picture and the payoff that comes from noticing details. You know, hum something patriotric and picture the Constitution in my head. Or take a mental break for a few minutes and surf the internet or check email.

I'm on a number of list-servs, which include some really smart people (and, of course, a corresponding number of really dumb people as well). As I was working through my afternoon to-do, this precious bit appeared in my email inbox from one of my wittier list-serv mates:

"Finding myself unwilling to do real work this afternoon, but unable to admit I'm lazy and simply go home, I turned the Webb County Jury charge into a blank form. I now will share it with the list." Attached was a jury charge on the newly enacted castle doctrine, which strengthened the self-defense law in Texas. My thanks to my refreshingly honest and altruistic list-mate for sharing - and validating that I am not the only one who has those kind of afternoons.
