Sad news, but bad management

It is hard to make a joke about this article http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/10/26/child.prostitution/index.html

I mean, we all like jokes about relations with underage people, but I am assuming the article isnt about 17 year old high school seniors. (or in some instances 16 year old).

What jumped out to me about this article is 60 pimps were arrested and 55 children were found. Now, I am not an expert in the pimp - whore relationship, but shouldn't the pimp number be less than the prostitute number. I do not know what sort of profit margin you can have on .9 child prostitute per pimp. I would like this joke better if they were just regular prostitutes, or at the leats 17 year old prostitutes, I am going to just assume child equals 17 and precocious.

this week

I am on a doc review project, got to pay for my advertising mistake, advertising with Christian radio did not result in one phone call let alone one client. I knew Jesus hated me.

It has been fun balancing my clients, doc review and whatever else I do with my time.

The doc review is a hoot. I am torn, I did go to one of the best law schools in the country so it should be hurtful to my ego, but I am too amazing to worry about that. On this review in particular 30 attorneys set it in a non-airconditioned room and every 5 or 6 hours get given an hour or 2 worth of work. Basically, I am getting paid a decent hourly wage to do what I did while I was cooped up with my ankle and not getting paid. An hour or two of work and lots of internet and tv, now it is ipod instead of tv.

I should find a way to work in an asian joke. Oh, one of the guys sitting near me is Asian, went to Cal (redundant). Sadly I have only offended a few people so far at the review, but if it keeps going, I think I can get half the people to hate me in some meaningful way. Oh, more asian joke. There is an Asian lady here with blonde hair, the rarest of all species. Luckily she does not drive into the office, her boyfriend picks her up, so we are safe.

I am looking forward to being done with the double duty crap and getting back to just having my own thing to worry about. I have rediscovered how poor I am at having a boss who I can not be sarcastic too without some sort of reprecussion, not that that stops me.

Asians

I learned a valuable lesson last week. Do not play basketball with Asians, ever. I should have learned this lesson before. A quick flashback:

1999 - 2 on 2 basketball in Boston. It is about 930pm so the gym is closing soon. Only 3 guys left, all asian - 15 minutes later heading to hospital with severely strained ankle. Stuck on crutches in the middle of Boston winter. Luckily all I missed was classes.

2001 - Full court basketball - only 5 asians playing. Same gym as 1999, (ironically a gym right next to the BU law school, maybe that should have told me law would cause me pain). Ball loose around mid court. I ran, elevated to grab it. Up comes an asian man, the top of his head lodges into my fron two teeth. His head bleeds, my teeth are dislodged, off to the dentist the next morning, oral surgery and some braces, good times. I do not know what happened to the asian man who I put a hole in his scalp, but I hope he bled to death.

2002 - College graduation was closing in but I returned to the basketball court of pain. Asians only one's playing, I did not want to go upstairs and lift weights. I was in the hospital overnight for a concussion, whores.

2002 - 2009 - shoulder, ankles, hips, back injuries mostly associated with basketball with asians.

August 2009 - Concussion because asian decides to trip me and I go head first, luckily no teeth moved.

October 2009 - Ankle sprain because asian falls guarding me as I jump to put a layup in. As I come down asian screams in fear since my legs are heading rights towards his face. I move my legs so as not to hurt the asian, end up falling on side of foot rolling over it, pain, big ankle, black marks all over the foot, doctor today, let's see if I am going to live.

Just dont play basketball with asians. Driving is not the only thing Asians do dangerously.

Sad Day

Today was a good day, worked til 2 then played golf at half moon bay, kept the score under triple digits despite not really playing that well. Now that I have had time to think about the whole playing golf on a thursday afternoon thing I realize how damn lucky I have been. this is not out of the ordinary, we have been playing midweek golf for a while now on a fairly normal basis. But alas, now, things are about to change.

People are letting me down. Of the two guys I normally play with one had a kid the other graduated from school and got a real job, what the hell.

What about my needs? I guess now I will just have to find more clients and not have at least 4 free hours a week, aweful.
