I will pass on your feedback to my pal. From what I recall, her attorney painted a fairly scary picture of “what ifs” and that is what convinced her to just go for the lesser charge and get it over with.
I suppose this kind of thing does happen all the time. I was outraged because I can understand how any woman might be panicked to answer the door to a crowd of people while still in pajamas with bed hair.
She knows people at the firm where the job offer is coming from, but is embarassed to have to tell them that she was arrested and convicted of a MD. I’ve assured her that it’s such a bizarre story that most people will probably be sort of riveted rather than judgmental. The note is a good idea.
Linda still has no idea WHAT they were looking for in the house that day, but she thinks it was more sinister. Her husband cant discuss anything related to his job (she doesnt even know where his office is located). This put a horrific strain on their marriage.
Ah, well..it’s just like the post from a couple of weeks ago. Cant remember what it was about, but I remember that HarryB and I were bantering about how no one should get too comfy in their own skin….it’s the old “you never know what’s gonna happen to you on any given day” thing. Again, like Kevin Spacey’s character in American Beauty – “Today is the day I die” (or whatever the line was).
My who has never done anything wrong in her life, volunteers her time for good causes, and is well educated, certainly did not expect to be charged with a felony that morning.
Life IS funny sometimes.
PD, you’ve inspired me to go have a glass of wine!
