Pet Things

By The Man

For those of you who do not know, I am an avid collector of animals. I have had to scale back since moving to a more modest home, but I still have four dogs. Two Jack Russel terriers, a dachshund and a Boston Terrier. Whenever I go out on a long trip, I have to hire someone to make sure they are well kept. I swear, I end up paying more to make sure my dogs are taken care of than I do on myself. The cost of pet supplies is just enormous. I end up paying about $50 a day on my pets when I’m gone and about $7 on myself for a cup of coffee and muffin in the morning.

Vacation Time

By The Man

Well, every July I get to take a three week vacation. Usually I end up staying at home catching up on all the movies I missed out on, but this year I have been looking to take luxury vacations. After all, I have made a great deal of money this year but it has been highly stressful I can imagine relaxing at a distant spa. All my coworkers are encouraging me to take care of myself because I deserve it. I am just not sure if that’s a good sign or not.

Medicine

By The Man

As always, doctors are among the top targets for lawsuits. Every slip of the wrist or scalpel left in someone’s abdomen is another lawsuit just waiting to happen. That is why whenever they wheel you off to surgery nowadays, they have to physically mark which limb it is they are going to perform surgery on. That is also why medical id is become more prevalent. That way there is no question and no possibility for mixups.

Kitchen Improvements

By The Man

Before I go on that trip to Mexico I was telling you guys about, I thought I’d make some improvements around the house. Laborers and parts manufacturers are giving out their best deals in years just to be able to do business. That’s why I thought it’d be a good time to get new kitchen faucets installed. That way, I can have them gleaming in the window so intruders will come in and activate my home monitoring. Then, I can watch them go to jail! I love having money in the down economy.

Home Security

By The Man

As a member of the upper middle-class, there are things I have to worry about, such as home invasion. My luxury vase collection could fetch hundreds if stolen. I already have the classic barbed wire fences and alarm systems, but these don’t set my mind at ease enough. The Desert Eagle under my pillow helps, and so does alarm system monitoring. That way whenever I leave I can keep an eye on my house. Anything to sleep soundly.

Life Insurance…

By The Man

I keep getting these letters in the mail from various life insurance policies I hold, telling me about how I can get increased coverage if I pay a little more every month. Maybe this is a good idea for some, but I already have half a million dollars on my life, so I think my funeral will be paid for and then some. Besides, who gets insurance out of the mail anymore? Nowadays, you can go online and get a term life insurance quote just like that.

Digital Signs

By The Man

When I first got into the law business around 20 years ago, the marketing of our firm was very limited. There was the phone book and there was billboards. Neither one was particularly effective and each accounted for about 10% of our leads. Nowadays, everything s digital and much more efficient. Not only is digital signage cheaper, it’s also more reliable and more far-reaching.

Navy Watch

By The Man

When May rolls around, I will have a month’s worth of vacation time and I am looking forward to it! I plan to go to Mexico to see a few cultural sites, as well as spend time on the other side of the Gulf fishing and snorkeling. They say not to drink the water in Mexico, but I assume swimming in it is alright. I just went to the department store to pick up a new Technomarine watch to wear on my wrist during the diving.

Scranton

By The Man

One of my beloved clients recently moved to the Scranton area. I had been her only lawyer since 1998, so we have had a lot of time to discuss many things. She is a woman of culture and class with a supreme sense of morality. I sure will miss her, as she was one of my nicest clients, the kind who sends a gift basket every Christmas. I recommended a good Scranton personal injury lawyer to her and wished her good luck.

Dependability

By The Man

In case you guys didn’t know, I write this blog about law from the comfort of my living room most of the time, on my laptop computer. I used to trust only desktop models because of the unreliability of wireless internet. Ever since I discovered the Linksys router, that has all changed. As long as COmcast keeps the signal on, Linksys is transmitting it flawlessly throughout my house.
