Why me?

So if you know that amending claims is a bad idea (yeah, stupid Supreme Court, make our life harder, go you). And you know that inventors are clueless, and you're hired to fix problems created by inventors... why in holy hell would you cancel a claim, just to insert the IDENTICAL BLOODY CLAIM two lines later? It's this type of stuff that makes me think I desperately need a new secretary. I asked my secretary to review the inventor's comments and amendments, and put them into proper format. The woman simply does not think. I must get competent help. I should not be playing with stupid formatting at 2 in the morning. Grouch...


Of course, this weekend is my Mother's birthday. What do you buy a woman who not only has everything, but has enough money to buy anything she fancies? I've ordered flowers (hawaiian, very pretty). But I have no other ideas. Suggestions? Anyone?

Oh yeah, and Father's day is coming too. Another one of those impossible-to-shop-for people in my life.

This might be more fun if I had more time, and energy to shop. But I'm working at 2 a.m. for a very good reason. I have tons of projects due in about 10 days. Not to mention a new client, who insists on meeting Friday night. Good thing I don't have a life.

How about day spa packages for your mom? Does she do that sort of thing?

I know what you mean about shopping for dad. I never see mine, so I'm going to visit this weekend. That's kind of his present. :)

That's nice, hanging out with them as a present. We will do that on Sunday as well. :)

The day spa thing probably wouldn't work. She goes to massages, and a cosmetologist, and she's very weirdly picky about this stuff (she's been going to the same hair dresser for 15 years... ) But something indulgent like that might work. Now if I only had time to actually go shopping...
