A Nice Surprise

You know how I’ve mentioned the administration, judges, court staff, deputies, prosecuting attorneys and other lawyers that I work with have been so great in dealing with, reacting to, and support of me …

That I often can’t put it in words, right?

Which is quite amazing ’cause as you know …

I have the propensity to be occasionally wordy !! 🙂

Simply said …

I’m associated with a complete collection of wonderful people.

I can never imagine they could get any better.

But as I was getting ready to go over to court,

I signed onto the system where I could pull a current activity summary (it’s called a Register of Action in bland legal form name speak) for the matter with which I was dealing …

To see if anything happened of which I hadn’t been aware …

You know,

Like new charges being filed or my client being in jail. 🙂

And after scanning it to make sure there were no surprises,

I put it in the file and set it aside,

Getting myself ready for the couple block walk to court.

But as I was putting on my coat …

Something about the summary I had just reviewed clicked.

What the … ??

So I picked up the file and looked again at the activity summary.

Wow !

There,

Listed after Attorney:

Was my name.

So I checked a few of my other pending cases.

Double Wow !! 🙂

Someone had taken the time,

And made the effort …

To change the records on all of my open cases,

So they reflected my new name.

I’m not the type of person to be bothered by small things,

And honestly,

Never would have even thought of asking if something like that was possible to be done.

But as has happened frequently when describing the kindness and respect I’ve been shown in my professional life …

I can’t even begin to describe how touched I was that someone had not only thought about it,

But had taken care of it for me.

  1. Amy,
    I think this Christmas will be your second best one ever. The best will be the first one with your new guy after surgery. It’s so obvious from all of your posts and interactions with those around you that you’re having the time of your life. I couldn’t be prouder if you were my own flesh and blood daughter!

    You’re an inspiration to so many girls out there now. They can see things can turn out right, and a normal life can be lived. You may even outpace me for how well things have gone!

    Big Hugzz and a Merry Christmas!!

  2. Amy: wonderful people attract wonderful people. It’s that moth around the light thing…You da light! (Um, maybe it’s the glare off the blonde hair).

  3. I had an obscenely kewl day the other day …

    I ran into a prosecuting attorney who I hadn’t been able to catch up with yet and he made me laugh my ass off,

    I had a super nice conversation with another attorney,

    And received the most amazing e-mail one could ever receive from yet another attorney.

    Not to mention I got an $80.00 sweater I’ve been itching to buy at The Limited for a mere $10.00. 🙂

    Honestly, I’ve come to the conclusion that I have completely horded for myself all the incredibly amazing family, friends and people in the world.

  4. Amy,

    Although I’ve encountered some problem people lately, all-in-all everyone has been wonderful.

    And one of the most awesome, thrilling, and fun events of my day: seeing MY new name on my reports and charts. What a hoot!
