Some Lawyers…

…are completely incompetent! I settled a car accident claim with those lovely people at ICBC just over a month ago (on the day that the trial was to begin). My lawyers involved in the case have been talking out of the side of their mouths since the very beginning of this case, almost six years ago. Now, over a month after their “help” with settling, I’m still dealing with a subrogated claim by another insurance company that should have never been an issue at all. I don’t understand how lawyers can get away with promising one thing and delivering another, over and over and over again. Now I’m faced with hiring another civil lawyer, and potentially dealing with another lawsuit to finally see closure to this very painful ordeal. Justice seems to be hiding at the moment. Where’s my axe?

Okay, so in an effort to overcome this latest setback, I’ve decided to just look ahead at the many, many positive things that are happening in my life. There are so many reasons to be happy right now, that this stupid legal situation shouldn’t sour my mood — and I’m determined to make sure that this is the case.

For example: I’m so happy that I’m finally moving in with my boyfriend after 16 months of dating. In an effort to spend time with him, I’ve been living out of my knapsack for these many months, and it’s so darn inconvenient, not to mention back-breaking when I have to drag my laptop and accessories with me as well. This is a *very* postive and exciting change for me — us, actually. Hopefully soon, he’ll be as excited about me being here to come home to, and wake up to, as I am. When he’s a happy boy, life feels that much more perfect.

Last night was a blast! A friend of ours normally has us over to yack, relax, and watch Osbornes on Tuesday nights, but I decided to have them over at my boyfriend’s place (soon to be my home too!) for a change of pace last night. It turned out to be so much fun! (not that it isn’t at my friend’s place…) I burnt chicken on the BBQ, we all had some homemade Shiraz, and pigged out on cupcakes that my friend brought with her. There was five of us, and although my friend’s sister couldn’t show up due to work, it was an almost perfect evening.
