Level Of Difficulty at Work: .5 out of 10
NapTime During Lunch: 29mins

Today in the Chronicle. An article about my favorite thursday afternoon events, BHC or Behavioral Health Court or what i call 'cookoo court'. The best part is:
[Judge] Donaldson, who sits on the judge's bench in a black judicial robe set off by a thick shock of white hair, doesn't dispense justice the way other judges do. He functions more as a father figure, a stern but friendly official to whom the clients must answer.

"Mr. Brown, I understand you're keeping off the alcohol?" Donaldson said to a man in a brown blazer who stepped up to the podium.

"Yes, your honor, but it's real hard during the holidays," the man replied.

"I know, and you're to be commended for it. Let's have a round of applause for Mr. Brown." There's polite applause from the attorneys, the bailiffs and the assorted clients in the audience.


Thats right, lets give him a round of applause for the brave soul. Hmmz, how can i further describe it. *If* you happen to sit at Department 27 on thursdays at 2pm, you get a sense of what jail is like. The smells of the jail come in and concentrate at that one courtroom, since half of the people out on this programs are my former clients (they all wave when they see me, how sweet!). Showing another cog on the slow grind of justice!
