I've done nothing but draft lawsuits and run to and from court the past couple of weeks. I've played some poker here and there, but work has essentially dominated my life. Our plan was to have everything done on Friday, and then each of us (me, my boss and our office manager/assistant) would go wait in line. We expected lines, but I didn't think I'd be waiting for almost 2 hours. Well, I was. All the Plaintiffs' attorneys in town have been struggling the past few weeks to get these cases filed. It's not easy to file almost 20 lawsuits (many of which simply are not ready to file) quickly to beat a deadline like this. I was stuck waiting in the St. Louis City Circuit Court, which had the longest lines. It's generally the most favorable venue in our area. I think I may have been on the news, as TV cameras seemed to be filming me making my filings. As a picture was being taken of all of us by the Post-Dispatch, one of the attorneys guessed that the headline would read something like "Greedy Trial Attorneys Rush to Take Advantage of Old Law". It wasn't quite that bad.

But I really was looking forward to playing poker at Harrah's after all this crap was over. I went with Joe, and I'll post some neat stories later tonight or tomorrow.
