Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 19/02/20255:25 pm train from NY Penn. today was a day of phone calls. From 9:15 am till 5:00. Straight, unadulterated, wall to wall phone calls. video chats. And conferences. And texts. And nothing got done. I feel as if my soul has been sucked from my lifeless corpse. I am going home. Thurs is wfh 010

Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 19/02/20257:10 am train to Penn. brutal chill this morning. Earlier cancelled trains so on some old equipment, and that means less seats. Not sleeping well, but being productive. May work from home tomorrow, depending. Will try to have dinner with great client. Right now tired. This weekend, me and 3 000
Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 18/02/20255:50 Pm train from Penn. 5:43 was cancelled. The train is hot and sweaty. Argued the last motion not written by me. Spent all day yesterday trying to make lemonade out of some serious lemons. zz thought I nailed it, but it’s the commercial division, so we conference and settle. Thus, we won. 000
Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 14/02/20257:10 am to New York Penn. another day, another motion to argue. Today, a motion to dismiss in NJ. High standard, and we are on the defense. And we get multiple bites at the apple. So, this morning I think. And write. And draft. And rewrite and draft until I have a simple story. Simple wins. 020
Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 13/02/20254:50 PM train from NY Penn. early train to attend my daughters NHS induction. Have to prep on that motion tomorrow. New email ai is pretty damn good - keeping things organized. Keep bumping up into 0 inbox. Much was done. Now, I will enjoy being a dad and some spicy pickles. 020
Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 13/02/20256:50 am train to Penn. Second daughter has N early morning, so got to the train to find all trains running a small delay. On the local. Terrible weather. Wearing the Drizabone. Dropping the bag and heading to court for a 9:30 am call. In person. Have a lot to get through in the next five days 010
Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 10/02/20255:50 pm train from NY Penn. and I thought today was not going to be a productive day. I tempted the collections g-ds. A cap request. An audit report response. A response to a grand jury subpoena. Two serious settlement proposals. Inquiries for services. A few retainer letters. Tonight e-mails. 010

Listening to a political podcast for the first time since November. Was able to listen to politics over the weekend. Enough time in the corner. Time to work. My mom is surprised that I am an optimist. 000
Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 06/02/20257:20 pm from Penn. time to cram for this motion. I do my best work with my back up against the wall. I wish I was up against one of my friend/opposing counsel as opposed to this putz. It’s harder to win against someone who is bad at their job. So, we bang on the standard and keep moving forward 030

Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 04/02/20256:27 PM from NY Penn. good day. Opinion sent. Audits moved forward. contract moved through the process and in final review in Dublin. My best email today was a financial planner complaining about a 10% late charge of 50 on 5000. Let that sink in. I’d not be putting my money with that one. 041

Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 03/02/20255:50 pm from NY Penn. Well, that was something. Everyone got hit with the stupid stick. Everyone thinks they are special. Everyone thinks they should not have to pay. Everyone forgets that I am in New York. I got the single seat on the train. I’ll be home, comfortable, and I can think. 010
Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 03/02/20257:10 am to NY Penn. back from Chewbacchus and eldest daughter in NOLA. Bad choices were had by all. A special thank you to CK and her dad for a nice brunch. Major Chewie. The little guy. Park View guesthouse. Joe the King Cake. And jazz lady. Dark suit. Cigar hat. Brooklyn in the back. 000
Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 29/01/20255:50 PM from NYP. It is done. It is filed. Now I square off with opposing counsel a week from tomorrow. Another fight to start tonight.

Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 29/01/20257:10 am to NYP. Got the brief to 20 pages. Dublin is reviewing. Today, we clean it up, and serve and file. Was up to 1 pm getting it into shape. Cigar grey hat. Dark suit. Down a pint on the coffee. Can’t decide on last night - coward or too tired. Was able to eat with my girls and finish. 020
Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 28/01/20255:50 train from NYP. So, I am a coward. Or I understand the better part of valor. The senior litigator was at the event I was supposed to be at. I just went nope and I walked out. I have enough on my plate to not need to engage in drama. Got the 39 pages down to 25. Goal in site! That my eve. 030
Joshua Brinen @joshuabrinen.bsky.social · 28/01/20257:10 am to NYP. Had a solid 6 hours plus an hour or so after dinner watching Stargate with my kids. Feel like a certified pre-owned man. Brief needs to be complete today. Event this afternoon/evening for cross border UK. Spoke to the mistress of the sword last night and wished her a good LNY 030
