Travesties

Day 1 of the week that all things working out should see you off to London by the end of Day 4.  Slight compromises to be made on two separate cases with two separate clients, perhaps, but you only live once.  Even more rarely do you get a shot to see the Arsenal live with a trophy on the line, so needs must.

And there is no sacrifice involved.  Words muttered in the room today, although hyperbolic, show what you imagine to be the case.  Note definition 3 in particular...

1. a literary or artistic burlesque of a serious work or subject, characterized by grotesque or ludicrous incongruity of style, treatment, or subject matter.

2. a literary or artistic composition so inferior in quality as to be merely a grotesque imitation of its model.

3. any grotesque or debased likeness or imitation: a travesty of justice.  

Inadvertence rather than deception, but still ever so frustrating to be associated with as a result.  Here's hoping PM finds a way to sort through things in a way that ends it, come what may.   His comment, uttered just to you, inquiring whether you are sleeping with this as well, show the extent to which this has reached the point of ridiculousness.  He said, she said, what said, etc.  Oh so difficult and oh so ready to move on.    So we wait for the work to be done to allow for the brief but oh so critical escape.  C'mon you parade to Islington town!!

Oh, and to record the latest in the drunken incidents as well, perhaps also a travesty but this time of your own doing.  Taking the time to get back into the good books after a 2 doors down to press gang to lower deck to cheers odyssey.  Visits to see Babs never end well.  Teenage dirtbag kareoke unremembered, found umbrellas and arriving to work basically drunk in the same clothes as the night before...  Something has to give and you wait to wonder what it will be. 

At least Jake A. has now been born, and that, my friends, is worth toasts of the finest liquor in the land.  Off to nab a few hours of sleep and come back around 4AM to try and deal with this SOC/NOA craziness.  What a life.
