I went to the Mall tonight at Sunset, to see MICHAEL CLAYTON.

Watch:


His girlfriend is so nice and happy.


It was about "janitor" lawyers hired to "clean up messes"
 and the sordid lives they lived, in silent desperation,
divorced, single, in debt and enaslaved to lies and coverups
and really bad people. Then finally one gets a conscience,
 attacks the evil empire he is supposed to protect, and
then at the end, escaping death and bringing justice, 
his life is finally happy, his life is cured and happiness
comes into his life, he is redeemed. Throw in some
superstitious weird horse stuff. I have no idea why
 the bad company is bad or what they did. Except for
 murder.

It was an "attack of businessmen" movie, quite unfair,
but it showed people doing the right thing and overcoming
 evil, whatever that may be. Even the bad guys, they were
 shown alone, sweating, shaking and miserable, knowing
what they do to succeed is wrong. Crime and punishment.



Today I weighted 111lbs and my ph test strip was 6.5.
 I ate Orange Juice, Watermelon juice and Grapes.



Orange house



Me in Diane Furstenberg dress and a wall painting at the mall.



As you can see I went to hairdressers "for a trim",
on Miracle Mile, and they
 chopped off all they wanted.
Should have known better. I don't style it but wash
 and go that is why it
 looks wild.

ALl these skinny teenagers were at the mall, with
pink
hair, black clothes
and skateboards.


I saw on tv that alot of people feel somehow they
are "wrong" as people,
 and "not right" and that
 most Americans are stressed out and all pretty
 much are in debt. My
 mom is taking out loans just to
 pay her
 loans.  She is always broke yet makes a ton of
money. Credit cards
are the culprit and so are loans.

It made me feel a comfort that has not left me.
Perfection is just an
 emotion. What if everything were
perfect, how would you feel? That is what
you need to do.
Feel that regardless. Feel good feel secure,
 feel at home.

I make all the right choices and I know better.
I know everything
and I know my future. I know what is
 going to happen to me.

I wish I had you in my life, you to be everything
 good to. I do, a
dream is you, it is what I can have if I am
 perfect and make all the
right decisions.

I really want a happy and thankful
 personality. I want to be happy
always and perfectly content and
always nice. Cheerful and loving,
beautiful and joyous.


I am going to a potluck tomorrow.
 This is me at Last months
Vegan potluck. I took a boring
 photo of me in the dining hall
of some church and made it fun

Suvine book club:



Read what these books are about,
 
Isn't it just divine?

It blows my mind, how perfect
 these books sound!!!!



The Capitalist's Book Club
recommends some of the the
best books on the case for
 capitalism and individual freedom.

This classic, easy-to-read primer on free-market
economics explores the disastrous
 consequences of a variety of government controls,
from minimum wage laws to
rent control to protectionism. But more important,
it exposes a crucial, erroneous
 method used to justify all of these measures: the
 focus on immediate,
short-term consequences without regard for long-term consequences.




Business people find themselves under continual
assault from government regulations, threats of
lawsuits and under-appreciation of their positive role.

The media, activists, politicians and even many religious
officials cling to the cliché of business people as greedy,
selfish or operating at the expense of others. The positive
 virtues of business people-self-sufficiency, responsibility
 and investment in the future—often are ignored by those
 who see business people as exploiters, cash cows for
 the government, or guinea pigs for government social policies.

Those suffering under the weight of such attacks will
find encouragement and articulate arguments on their
behalf in Why Businessmen Need Philosophy, a book
-collection of essays that champions the free market
and individual rights.

The material abundance and individual freedom
 that is the hallmark of capitalism
 rests on upon the ethics of self-interest, but today
 perhaps no code of morality
 is more misunderstood and maligned. In a profound yet easily accessible text,
Craig Biddle demolishes the conventional wisdom that holds sacrifice
as a moral
 ideal and offers a compelling alternative.

Through examples drawn from today's headlines, historical analysis
and the examination of leading intellectual thinkers, Loving Life clearly
 demonstrates that morality is a matter not of divine revelation or social
convention or personal opinion—but, rather, of the factual requirements of
 human life and happiness. Biddle shows how a true morality is derived
logically
from observable facts, what in essence such a morality demands,
and why it is
 a matter of pure self-interest.

Loving Life exposes the baseless nature of the
various moralities that call for
 human sacrifice and lead to human suffering
and shows how a true morality
 is derived and implies—personally,
socially, and politically. With clarity and
elegance, Biddle demonstrates the
principles, values, and virtues that are
 essential to human life and happiness;
 and he defines and defends the
 social and political conditions
 that are required for people to
 live together as civilized beings.

As recently as the late 1980s, intellectuals were still discussing the
 supposed approaching
convergence between communism and capitalism. It was
 claimed that the capitalist United
 States was suffering from an inadequacy of social services,
while the Soviet Union failed
to protect personal freedom. Faced with such problems, it was
 argued that the US and
Soviet systems would eventually meet halfway, with the US
becoming more socialist and the Soviet Union less totalitarian.

It wasn’t until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 that the absurd notion of “convergence”
 was finally discredited along with most remaining hopes of establishing
 a so-called socialist paradise. Partly as a result, there was a resurgence
of interest in capitalism and the reasons for its success, and a host of books
have since been published seeking to explain various aspects of the
 capitalist system.

-

This book tells the incredible story of Michigan's rise to economic
greatness by examining the lives of its industrial geniuses. Folsom
 includes several erroneous evaluations, especially his attempt to
 link business success to "biblical precepts." But evaluations aside,
the book provides ample evidence, simply by reporting on the lives
 of Michigan's greatest producers, of the heroic efforts of these
 great achievers—

and of the producer's need to be left free of state control.

If there is one alleged shortcoming levied at capitalism about which there
 is little controversy, even in many allegedly pro-free market circles, it is
the claim that unregulated markets allow the formation of coercive monopolies.
 In answer to the supposed concentration of economic power by businessmen,
 proponents of government intervention in the economy created
 the antitrust laws
—laws which Justice Thurgood Marshall, speaking for the majority
 of the United
 States Supreme Court in United States v. Topco Associates claim serve as
 the “Magna Carta of free enterprise.” Today, too few would dispute
Marshall’s claim.

The supporters of antitrust law argue that allowing companies to compete freely
in the market is an injustice to the consumer, resulting in higher prices, as
 well as being obviously to the detriment of other competitors. These supporters
claim that unregulated market competition was already tried in the 19th century
and that it led to the evil of the so-called “Robber Barons.” Even economists
 point out that monopolists destroy “perfect competition” and are thus able to
 earn so-called “monopoly profits.”

  Armentano makes the key identification regarding the nature of antitrust laws:
they are employed against innovative businesses that have
increased production
 and lowered prices, i.e. that they are a direct
assault on success. Filled with horrific
examples taken from today's headlines, the
 author deciphers the major economic
 arguments in favor of antitrust and demolishes them all



A myth-shattering portrayal of how Bill Gates and
 Microsoft have earned their success. Stross, a
 business reporter given unlimited access to
 Microsoft's internal records, shows how the
company thrives by seeking out, nurturing,
and rewarding intelligence. This book helps provide
 the facts to show why Microsoft deserves a moral
defense against the antitrust laws
—but it also provides a timeless depiction of the
moral virtues required to build a successful company.




Although many factors set the stage for wealth creation (especially
economic freedom), in the end, the wealth has to be created by specific
individuals—and some are much better at it than others. Dr.
Locke calls
those who are very good at wealth creation 'Prime Movers'. By
identifying
the traits that move the movers, Locke shows that these men
 and women are both productive and moral.

My mom took this at Oktoberfest. I was on Peta handout flyer duty.




nerdy juice guy with hairnet at Whole Foods.



I went to Wild Oats to get juices. I usually get my
 Oj from this guy below.. Jamba Juice Miracle Mile in the Gables





 He always tells me how great his hair feels as
 braids. he tells me I should get braids.

I just watched Kiki's Delivery Service, a Disney Japanese Animation Movie. It was so great, about a witch who starts a delivery service at age 13. It is great, and when it just becomes work to her, boring, she loses her witches powers. Great little capitalist movie, and great values. She goes the extra mile to deliver her products even when disaster strikes. She makes a ton of money too because people love her. All the other girls are  and threatened, because she works. But in the end she fits in. YAY

I went to South Beach Today, it was very windy.



 What fun, I had such a good time.

Lots of Juices, guarapos and food. I overate.

I went to Maroosh, this Indian Place in Coral Gables and then I heard really loud blaring music and bellydancers came out and started bellydancing and really having fun. I ate cucumber and tomato salad and then tempted with some olives and pickles and woke up the next morning 114 lbs, 5 lbs heavier from water weight from the salt. Water retention. I also woke up with a pimple and was dehydrated all night. I felt bad, I know it was a mistake.

I wrote so much, so much beautiful stuff and it gets dleeted. All conversations I have with myself. Do I hear my words when I talk? Do I hear myself speak? Or are my thougths elsewhere?

I saw Vanity Fair movie. It was great, just like the book. I am sick of movies I want movies to come to me and happen to my life. I want my life to be a movie.

I came to a great discovery. It was that there is no drug that will make you feel better, there is nothing that will make you feel better. Only SELF ESTEEM can make you feel better. That is how you feel when you are alone and you think about you. I mean, we all know this, but what I mean is, that we do not think it is important. We think how OTHERS see us is important, when its backwards. We live through eyes of others. That is not good. that never works.

What if " what everybody else was doing" is wrong and evil? What if it is the thing that kills us as individuals? Move forward, stay out of the past, live for yourself. Everybody else and what they do is not important at all, but De-portant. What if, our real dreams, have nothing to do with the dreams that society tells us to do. Are we blind robots or are we PRIME MOVERS?

I want to be a prime mover. I also want to be a writer, but how do I begin making a living? I want to write stories, and have many of them. I do. I really need to get on that.

South Beach BUM , what a life, spare changing eating pizza out of garbage cans freshy tossed and just thinking abou fantasy.



Look a snake in front of American Apparel




Me on Beach




coco frios




I need to gravitate towards fruit. I do. I need to gravitate, it is right. It is good. It really is. We can eat fruit year round because of supermarkets.

I had so much fun today and I smiled. I did. I am happy.

My voice was so soft and I heard every word I said. I believe that somehow, I can fix something in my life, fix it so it is right, well and right and locked and really tight.
I want to make a difference and I am important. I know everything there is to know.

I not only want to fix something, but I want to find, sit down and find the equations that equal happiness. simple and mathematical. I want to build on what I know for sure. I want to build on all I know so I understand and I am right.


I want to be breathtaking

What is the self?

When I speak, I hear myself speak. I speak to me.

I always speak to me. I want to hear all that I say because it's alll to myself that I speak. I hear the words that come out of my mouth. I feel the tone. Only I can make myself happy. Only self esteem can make me happy. Or anyone. It's if I am proud of myself, that depends on my happiness or the good choices I make when noone is looking.

Someone said all the hippies who read my blog will get pissed if I keep writing about Capitalism. Why? That is beyond me. I don't think so, I think capitalism brings out the best of each one of us. Are hippies socialists? I do remember alot of people saying hippies like to "share". I think they might be. Do they rebel against the Government? Do they have a proposed system of freelove (undesereved)  for everyone, regardless of what you have done or thought? Sounds like it. What about blanking out and ruining their minds with drugs? What , they don't matter? Brains are for facists? Live off everybody else, play hackeysack all day, smoke up, drink up, tab up, sleep with everybody? Sounds sleazy. Don't people want something TO DO? Something that will make them proud? I like the idea of capitalism so much.

I feel good tonight. I do. I feel better about things. There is only me, there is only I, and I am pretty with it tonight.

I drank watermelon juice all day. I did.  Lots and lots. And they are out of season too, so I am paying 10 bucks each from Mexico. I like watermelon. I do

I weighed 114 today and my ph strip was pretty yellow, acidic, and I sneezed all day, mucus. I detox bad food fast, from eating that bad stuff yesterday (olives, pickles and walnut pate). My arm pits stinky. I still am dehydrated and I drink all day watermelon juice.

My mom made a whole thing of lentils and she actually cooked buckwheat. My influence.

In Raw Knowledge 2, I love Dr. Vivian  Vetrano's interview. She feeds her dog green soup with dates added. Imagine that. It's a little white foofy dog.
She has been a natural hygenist since she was 18 and she is 74. She has tons of degrees and ran whole clinics and is a Dr. She says sprouts are bad because baby plants put out a toxin to protect themselves.
One thing I learned is she said that if you take a few leaves off a green plant like lettuce, the plant puts out a poison to make it bitter. She also says that giraffes can only eat a certain tree 30 minutes because after that the plant puts out a poison that will kill it or make it sick.
I agree with buckwheat sprouts, that has poison in it in large amounts eaten. Will make you skin burn if sunlight hits it.

Everything bad that has ever happened to me has been a result of me living for others in any way. Thinking of others or peer pressure from society, friends, and family. Anything good has been a result of me living for myself alone. Meaning alone in my thoughts and planned and created for my own ears only.

What are my revelations today? I say my book needs to be a book that I would rather live inside of than reality, where things are as they should be and people are exceptionally great. I want to write such a great story I want to live in it. What would that look like? Wow. I am getting alot out when I write.

I want to stay on my level. I want to stay in my brain and  I want to hold onto my voice. I want to hear myself speak. I want to write stories about things that matter. I want to make life right. I want to really save myself. I want to feel 100% good and safe on earth and I want my survival guaranteed to be right.

I want to live better than ever, I want to get back to where I once was where opportunity was there to fix all that is bad.

I saw on Tv Angelina Jolie show about her life and how she cut off her dad and really talked mean about him on camera. If she cut off her dad from her life, disowned him, and disrespected him, than how is she able to have a successful relationship with Brad Pitt? Isn't that a paradox?


What is it that makes something important and real? How do you know something is genuine? Is it in ideas or words?

I should never do the chasing, always do the choosing. Darwin.

I am no longer cooking for mom or anybody but me. That was a dumb idea. Food is gross anyways.

DO I want to be super attractive for myself? I think not because when I know I will be alone I take less care of myself than when someone I am attracted to is around. It should be the other way around, I should look good and be good for myself.

I want to serve myself. I want to work for myself. I want to be orgainized for myself.
I need to be disciplined. I need to also go easy on myself and gve myself breaks and rewards.

Who is the I I speak to? Is the "I", I speak to, Ego? the highest and best thing ever alive in the world? The life force, everything good. I want to serve you. I want to work for you and speak to you always.

I read all these raw food books and I love it when people just make up stuff. I notice it right away. Or they just say what they have heard around. Like when asked questions, they just repeat what others tell others with no personal experience. That is just as bad as the protein myth. making up stuff just cuz you heard it from others. And they just pass it along and so do you.

Next time someone asks you, how do you get your protein, ask them what protein is.

Most things are commercial, not scientific driven facts.

What else can we mess with people with? Ask them why they vaccinate their kids. Why they CHOOSE to do something so threatening to their lives with absolute tons of proof, that it directly kills and makes children autistic zombies. Ask them why.
Make them feel like sheep.

People are sheep. People only repeat what they heard from others and have no ideas or thoughts of their own.

People are boring to me when I hear them talk. Every once in a while people say what they really want to say and its so awesome, it s breathtaking. Like what can they tell me that has never been said before?? That is what I want to read and know. If its been said, don't repeat it!! ever.

Anyways I am fin good and alive. I am a breathing girl. I am here. I am me. I am where I am.

Capitalism "what is?":

...and this video is about Money, Money is not the root of all evil but the root of
all good. I agree with this video very much, wealth is the highest virtue. I am a big capitalist. I agree with the philosophy as the most humantarian. I thought about this and thought about this and I can say this if FOR SURE.









For those of you, who disagree, and  who still believe in Altruism , this next video is the true face of altruism

Altruism is an ethical doctrine that holds that individuals have a moral obligation to help, serve, or benefit others, if necessary at the sacrifice of one's self ...Altruism is selfless concern for the welfare of others.Altruism focuses on a motivation to help others or a want to do good without reward
( totally freakin' evil philosophy)


this is the true face of altrusim, BRILLIANTLY done, I am so impressed, totally I agree:

I got a NEW JOB!!!

Brickell Avenue Area



I got hired today by an excellent Law firm. They are in Brickell Avenue Downtown in a high rise bank building. I got such good vibes. Nice furniture, nice space, beautiful view and lots of books and paperwork. I was myself after 24 hours no sleep ( weird sleeping schedule I have)

My new boss is real nice. He will reimbusre me for my bus pass, how nice, which I need on a bus from Biltmore Way
and it takes me to Miami's Financial District in 20 minutes. He is paying me exactly what I want, and the first three months is not taxed because I am on trial period.

Such a nice place, 20th floor, world class view. He told me the office cost $20,000 a month to rent. And when they move to the Gables, in January, it will be more expensive. They will move to Alhambra Circle which is top office space for downtown Gables and walking distance from my place. There I will have my own space, but for now, I have to share an office with a girl, with a nice view.

I told him I was writing a book with characters that are lawyers. He says he is an Art collector and does writing himself that has been published.

He told me he will sit me down and teach me everything to know about the legal process and the law and what it's all about. Soon enough.

He really took a chance with me, I think what got him, is in the interview, he sat me down at his computer and had me type out a legal term letter he dictates. Thank GOD this summer I learned how to type without looking at the keys, it paid off. 100% right, I did it. Spelled right too. I had the adrenaline. He spoke very fast about things and case terminology.

I was so happy, I am legal assistant in training. I hung out with a file clerk and a girl who worked there since she was 18, I feel I am replacing. It seems like Legal Secretaries do most of the work. I love work. I am a workimal. I want to surpass everybody and be number one valuable.

I was dressed so nice, he mentioned it twice, that I don't have to dress like that everyday, but it just looks so good if I do. I was wearing a gorgeous black suit ( with skirt) with brown shirt. Heels and small gold charm necklace .

I was so happy doing real work. At first it will be hard paperwork, he said, but the more I learn the more valuable I am, the more interesting my work will be, and I will be trained to do as much as I am willing to learn.
AT the moment 6,000 cases are open for litigation. 6 thousand. And guess who does all the paperwork.

They do PIPS and other stuff. Personal Injury Protection cases. We also represent Doctors and Clinics who want to get paid from insurance companies. There is business in sick people. There is money in sick people. My boss is a transactional lawyer and also does Trials. We share a very large office with two criminal lawyers. No joke there is some serious business happening. I am so happy, so impressed. I shook everyone's hands. with such pride.

The only  bummer of the day, after everyone left I was left, to this fat girl, who answers phones unbelievably  unbelievably rude. She was so pissed at a lady calling, she sent her to a voice mail  without telling her. It was such a downer to be there listening to her tell me all the gossip and who to stay away from and asking how much am I getting paid etc..and saying all sorts of bad things like don't talk to so and so and they are so cheap, the bossses, etc etc.

What really pissed me off, is I was so happy to be doing real  work, when she decides she does not want to train me, she is too tired,  and sits there doing Myspace for 3 hours and blinging out her pics at Blingee.com. I admit I have to bling out a pic for you to see how cool it is, look I made mine spooky, but I did this when I GOT HOME, not when I was working. Shame on her. She made her blingees all gangsta with bottles or rum and baseball hats and cigars. She would shut it off when the boss was around. can you believe that?
 



but I was so bored and I felt really bad. Really low inside I was wasting valuable important work time doing that. I could not say anything. I am the new girl.

She is married and her Myspace page is all about x loves y and "I am taken" "Happily Married" " I love you baby forever comments" etc.. He is a bartender at the Ritz carlton in Miami Beach. They have kids each of them all living together happily. They talked on the phone in front of me and she referred to herself as : "His Wife" and I had to listen to this all afternoon.

She asked me if I had a myspace, I said no. ( Hell no I am not showing you at my new job) Anyways she kept putting alcohol in her pics and things like THUG LIFE with gliterring diamonds. I had to watch this for hours. I felt so bad, so guilty for letting my new boss down. I did, yet it was fun Blingee.com.

She also left early and told me if boss asks for her, to say she is in the bathroom, but not to tell him she left that early, which she did.


At 5 pm my boss has a French teacher come in, so when I said goodbye, he was in his room with a French Lesson.  A French Woman on the couch with books in her hands. I was speaking to him in French. Telling him Je Pars Maintenant and A demain. It was fun.  Earlier we taked about Paris, where he spends his Christmases. Paris is beautiful in Christmas, all the shop windows are first class.

Across the street is Morton's, This Steakhouse where we will be all having a free lunch together soon.  That should be interesting for me. Behind it is an alley and they I cross a street and there is the train that takes me to Douglas road where I get on a free gables trolley to my place or Miracle Mile.

All I had to eat was OJ so far. I bought a chermioya and about 8 Persimmons and a watermelon.

I need to carry sneakers in my bag. And walk in them when coming home. I had a few sprouts with chopped tomatoes.

There is legal software programs and new computer programs, one called P.A.M. and Time Matters. I did some voluntary dismissals and Demands. I have to learn how to use. SO many letters, so many cases, such a perfectionist procedure. I will learn it all. All of it. I will know everything. They really did not have a lot of time to train, so I did alot of easy paperwork , starting at the bottom.I got such good vibes. My boss is a cheery old sentimental man. He told me I am part of the family and anything I ever need, or if I ever am in a pinch, to ask him. And if I am sick and don't call he will worry about me like he does with everyone there.

I felt really proud to be there.  I will be number one most important worker in a few months..
I am really happy, I really feel I am with an excellent firm with a good reputation. I just sense it.

10/31


If it doesn't taste good without salt that means you are not hungry.

Today I thought that we are symbiotic with the air around us, we are in a solution. We have to keep a balance. When we eat bad things, we are not balanced and that is why we feel wrong, somehow. Eat to feed the existence that we are in a fluid like substance, air like a fluid we are breathing inside of, like fish breathe in water, to them , water is air. Why would you want to poison yourself and separate yourself from the  happy life going on around us? Why would you want to tip the scale so everything is off balanced, meaning wrong. I now understand breatharian, although we like whales would breathe tiny things like plankton.

Today at work I was alone. My boss and I have the agreement I will learn how to do everything, I want that and said it in my interview. . He said he wants me to learn everything from bottom up. So, today since noone could train me to do harder stuff,  I was photocopying and sending letters to courts, lawyers an then marking exhibits a and b, stuff like that. Then  I spent 6 hours putting matters numbers on papers, easy stuff. My coworkers all took the day or week off. Except for this old lady who could not be bothered. The phones  myspace lady took the day off so I had to answer phones. Easy.

All alone is a huge room with big windows. I heard construction from outside, rain pour and secretaries in cubicles outside my door, chitter chatter. At the end of the day in every room I saw paperwork laid out. Stacks, piles and mountains overflowing on chairs, desks.

My boss's partner has a bloody civil war battle scene painting in his room. I noticed it right away and made a mental picture of his personality. How weird for a law office. Dead soldiers on a floor and people marching into them with knives and guns. He told me all the lawyers who are assholes in my Time Matters software program. Lawyers who make his life hell he said. My boss warns me a little about him in hints, that he is very different and not so angry.

I actually read alot of files, and what blew my mind, is the sneakiness of the lawyers. It's almost bordering on genius, and annoying, if you are on the opposite side. I bet you they laugh at each other in court . I am going to tell daddy, with the parent being the judge. I smiled at a few of the other  lawyers statements and letters. Impressed but do people really believe lawyers without laughing sometimes? Are they serious when they claim such accusative things, raise hell and over do it? Wow, not us of course, but MAN, they are so funny!

Some clerk made a mistake and these lawyers are accusing us of the worst things possible, of substitution and deliberate evil.  When its obvious it was just a typo. And they say the case must be dropped and we have to pay them. Man. In paper it made us out to be cruel deceptive and hurtful to their client. Just like that!

You have to be very careful. make sure it's the right client, right case, everything I do really well. I love perfectionism in paperwork, I am proud of being so good at that.  I caught one thing the lawyer didn't see today.

They are working on alot of different cases, and especially alot of those PIP things. It's a bad business, insurance. Anything on Credit, or imaginary someday sickness, is BADDD. They do not pay for anybody to do anything or get anything done if they find the littlest thing and then they make up stuff with big words not saying anything. But, it is also very impressive how lawyers word things. It takes brains, cleverness and wit.

I searched though my room all day. I went through rolodexes and piles of business cards. All doctors, lawyers and Medical facilities. I stared at things pinned to a bulletin board. Trial logs, Court directories, and  trail dates.

I read all the stamps, like notary stamps. I want to get one one day. Just cause.
I saw they taped passwords to the computer base.

I did demand letters. It's all easy. I want my money letters. Did pleadings. Motion request to produce. I have no idea what these things are yet. Motion for default, Case, process merge, all this stuff I never heard befoe. I just followed orders. I will get it soon.

I made a big package for the court, that is on my street in Coral Gables, back home. I made sure the dates were filled in and they were signed. Letters that said, we sent so and so lawyer, this same document.. ALot of work. Made sure there were copies and some had to say stuff and others needed to be original, and stapled and put on this side or that of the file.

When mail comes in, I open letters for lawyers and photocopy checks. Noone was here to do it so I did it. I get to see what they get.
They have tons of files, settled, closed, call back, super big files with file in them, Pip files, other lawsuit files. I got lost.

Oh There is an ORANGE JUICER in the building. I got fresh squeezed oj many times at this deli on lobby floor. I had watermelon for breakfast, and tomatoes for dinner.

Another lawyer came in and started training me, just talking about things. People assume I know things. I learn what they are later or look up on internet. I nod and say yes I understand.

My desk is large in my room. I have a desk planner and stamps. Stamps with signatures on them with ESQ. after the names.

 In my bosses desk there is a gold elephant. He said its a Cuban good luck charm. He asked if I knew anyting about Cuban culture.

I wore a blue long sleeved shirt  and black suit skirt and blazer. I walked home in the rain. I am getting into a hot bath.

I bought a few suits that are beautiful. One is tan and one is black with shiny lapels. Nice.





NOV 1

Weighed in at 110 and my P.H. was 7.5

Today was interesting. It went by pretty easy. I spent a lot of time trying to sit with good posture for long periods at a desk.

I drank a quart of watermelon juice before work and a quart of homeade tangerine juice at work and then I bought three large juicing orange orange juice at the deli downstairs.
I may juice a lot of apples tonight, and I have dandelion leaves I might throw in. Call me superstitious.

Remember the lawyer with civil war battle painting, all bloody, on his office wall?  Well, I figured out what was the expression for that. He has a right hand that is disfigured, a missing finger and his whole hand is screwed up. It looks like he has a really big scarred up index finger, made up of two fingers until the second knuckle. The painting gave it away to me. The source is the disfigurement. It's not bad or firghtening, I almost feel sorry for him, and his war painting covered in blood.

The Myspace receptionist girl did not show up and called in to say her babyboy was sick, everybody acted worried, but I was the only one who knew that was not true, and she did not want to come to work. I think when one has a bad work ethic, and is dishonest, you cannot believe them about anything.

So I dealt with some phones. A lady called and said no lawyer would help her. Her boyfriend got beat up by cops and they broke his hip and face, and then covered it up, by arresting him for resisting arrest and he is in jail with no medical treatment. I gave the message to the finger guy and he rolled his eyes, he said, " I will think about it, I hate cases like that." really slow and bored.

I noticed all the other girls have notary stamps with their names on it. I asked my boss, could I have one with my name on it, and he said definitely I could be a notary. I just stamp stuff? is that it?

The boss called me in, and I sat on his sofa and watched him stare out the window, with hands in his pockets, and give me a long speech.  He dresses like a lawyer, lawyer fashion  and has cufflinks. He has a full head of brown hair, and very gentleman like, well spoken and kind.

But first he tells me there are two kinds of law, Civil and Criminal. We do Civil stuff. There is Federal and State, and we do alot of Federal cases and there is a courthouse closeby. He explained bankruptcy and admiralty. Then he said there are two kinds of laws, court decisions and Statutes. And Florida has statutes. SO Basically courts interpret laws.

He went on and on about so many details. Phone calls came in. While he was talking on the phone I looked out his window. We are so high up that you could look down on the roofs of buildings. On the tops of parking garages, I saw beautiful swimming pools with people swimming in them, tennis courts and trees. I overheard a lady got her boat stolen. I could see a court house from his window with a triangle on top, downtown Miami. I think he said that was a circuit courthouse.

He explained PIP statutes. Let's say you were in a car accident in someone's car. You were in the hospital and the insurance your driver was on, you could be covered, as a signee of  them, by deductible, and you sign a paper called AOB (assignment of Benefits- I had to get a bunch of these from providers today and have them fax it to me). Anyways sometimes the insurance won't pay. The doctors call us.

He told me plaintiff/petitioner was the person who brought the lawsuit and usually this is State or Goverment and the Defendant or respondent is who the action is taken against.

Complaints are first filed in Trial court. He said depending on how much it is for there are different courts, like circuit, county, small claims, Supreme court. Or you can do stuff called summons and he told me of this 20 day one where you had a time limit, then action commenced and court action,

Then he explained the legislation process, 3 parts. He has three french prints on his wall, Toulouse Lautrec style vintage posters. He used these three paintings to tell me about the  three step Legislation process. He said the first and last were really really tiny parts, the pleading stage and the trial. The middle part is so large and where all the money, grief and time is. Called "DISCOVERY" and he separated this into three parts, written requests, asking and agrreeing on stuff under 30 days, Interrogatory stuff, He said this is hard because noone wants to answer questions and are so vague it's crazy. And depositions, they are Oral testimonies under oath.  He told me all this can be really really long.

90% of cases never go to trial but get settled. He said in trials where you make the jury laugh cry is so rare only in the movies, but this is where it happens.

He said some nice things about how I could really help by pushing this part, and doing anything to make this process, discovery , go faster. That they are really backed up. They had 800 lawsuits this summer. My teacher, I share a room with, is gone til monday, she is nice. Very professional.

He told me the whole process, what requests for productions are, I think 30 day motion ( motions are requesting relief from court, to have it fixed) After file pleadings you exhibit evidence, its how you address the court. Motion Process is what it is called. Request for admissions are tough he said because you have 30 days and it seems easy, you ansser questions but they use alot of double negatives to trick you. and a real red flag. It's like an order compelling you to respond or request.

Motion to stirke is when you say something is outrageous.

Interrogatories he says everyone gets cute in, real headache, vagueness. You have to make a motion for more specifics. He talked about depostions, you answer questions under oath and you can object to things. He said he has had cases where there have been 20-50 depostion hearing each and that is why it is so expensive and you get lawyers paid by the hour.

He explained what is a notice for sanctions, and this is where the policy on the insurance was expired, in PIP cases, so you better dismiss it or quit within thirty days or you have to pay court for wating their time.

He said we never ever want to get a case that is FWOPPED. Meaning if you dont take action or do anything with your case it is dismissed for wont of prosecution and he said I could help with this because they are backed up.

He said it is so expensive to file suit like 300 bucks and you have overhead, couriers fees etc

My job:

Discovery process, to expedite, he said
Demands ( asking for money) and the Litigation depending on volume.
