Again I hurry to wait

The wheels of justice grind to a halt again. My superior court case, which has made a number of appearances on this page, has been postponed. Again. This time because the judge was not in today. No reason why she would not be in, but she was not to be in, and thus we get bumped. And we get bumped to an undetermined time in the future. The annoying thing about this is that the court did not call until 4 pm on Monday (when we were to be in court on Tuesday.) Thus I spent all day Friday, part of my weekend and most of Monday working on my oral arguments, before the court finally called. I was, needless to say, mildly grumpy when my case got bumped. I am learning, though, that the life of a litigator is just that, a long string of hurrying to wait. Is this really the life for me?
