Okay, I’m done.
My line-by-line analysis overlay of a 75-page forensic custody evaluation came out to 450 pages. I think that’s my largest one to date.
Howdy, glad to meetcha.
Holy cow. I would NOT want to be reviewed by Dr. Childress if I was a forensic custody evaluator – nope – nope – nope.
A lot of it is cut-and-paste once my responses get set – they say the same thing – so I say the same thing.
There’s only so many ways they can be ignorant – a lot – but it’s ultimately a finite number. Once they start repeating their ignorance, I start repeating my response.
So 450 pages sounds like a lot… and it is, holy cow. But it’s not as bad as it sounds, especially if you’re reading one because my repetition to their repetition flows quickly.
One down, there’s more to go. This case is involved, and there’s two in the wings I need to get to. One has bunches-and-bunches of information I need to organize, the other has less and is more focused.
I grew up watching Ed Sullivan’s variety show, there was a guy spinning plates on sticks. I feel like that, running back and forth between client stuff, keeping all the client stuff spinning.
A 450-page line-by-line for you, now let’s see what you’ve got. Back-and-forth, keep all the plates spinning through to their court dates.
Next week is my week of general public consults. It’s relatively light this month which is good, it’ll let me remain focused on my client report-writing stuff. I want to make sure I pace myself, I’m only one human.
We’ll see what happens. All I know is it’s raining anvils on their noggins. Bonk…. oooo, that’s gotta hurt.
