I received a rather abrupt "Dear SFL" letter from one of my nearest and dearest true loves, the courthouse nightbox:
Severe cuts recently made to the Clerk's Budgets by the Florida Legislature have required significant reductions in personnel.NOOOOOOOO!!!!
As a result, effective July 6th, the Clerk's office will no longer be providing additional hours for filing pleadings. Pleadings must be filed, no later than 4 p.m.
Well, I'm stunned. I mean, I knew we were having some problems, a little tiff now and then when I was trying to get something to the 3d and she was feeling...I don't know....cranky, I mean it's ok you don't always have to be in the mood, we can have different feelings at different times...but this?
So sudden, so curt.
There are so many things I wanted to say...... (sung to the tune of ELO's Telephone Line):
Hello. How are you?
Have you been alright, through all those lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely nights
That's what I'd say. I'd tell you everything
If you'd let me file one more thing yeah yeah yeah
Hey. How you feelin?
Are you still the same?
Don't you realize the things we did, we did, were all for real, not a dream?
I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Doowop dooby doo doowop doowah doolang
Blue days black nights doowah doolang
I look up at the clock, the time you need ain't gonna see you through
And I wonder why the edits and spellcheck are taking way too long
Oh oh Courthouse Nightbox, give me some time, I just need 20 minutes more
Oh oh Courthouse Nightbox, give me some time, my runner is on his way
Ok. So no one's answering
Well can't you just leave the pleading outside the judge's door oh oh ooohhhhh
I'll just sit tight through shadows of the night
And hope the runner makes it there ok ooohhhhh yeah yeah yeah
Doowop dooby doo doowop doowah doolang
Blue days black nights doowah doolang
When I look up at the clock, the time I have ain't gonna be enough
And I wonder why the little typos and formatting problems are such a pain
Oh oh Courthouse Nightbox, give me some time, I just need 20 minutes more
Oh oh Courthouse Nightbox, give me some time, I just need 20 minutes more
Oh oh Courthouse Nightbox, give me some time, I just need 20 minutes more
Oh oh Courthouse Nightbox, give me some time, I just need 20 minutes more

Funny stuff, SFL.
I don't get this fixation with music. I may go find another blog. Anyone have any ideas?
Agreed; go find another blog.
SFL, you whiffed . . . the lyrics match up much more nicely with foreigner's "juke box hero"
3:21, go for it, lay them out for us.
Greenberg Gal needs to get out some more.
SFL: i'm "anonymous" at 3:21. you put me in a mark sanford moment . . . i have no talent nor follow thru... i'm a fraud. your lyrics are great and i'm sniffling so hard right now i think i might cry.... OMG i feel like truman capote wanting to kiss that percy guy right now...really conflicted.
Please, go. You're a pest.
I liked it SFL.
3:36, also good stuff.
If Greenberg Gal has not figured out SFLs fixation with music on his blog-- oy!
3:20, Agree.
and what, you thought she was a deep thinker? ha.
she's daft.
Hilarious!
4:34, Ditto.
The music is why the SFL blog stands out.
TOO FUNNY
yeah- All I do is legal work and work for a living. I don't make up silly songs. Boy I guess I am a really bad person.
SFL, I loved your most recent post on my blog about the guy who used to work at that other firm. Nice.
Sorry to hear about the night box bro.
Making up "silly songs" is a talent.
Gal, some lawyers appreciate great music, fine wine, films, literature, art, the better things in life. And humor.
Let me be the first to say it:
Michael Jackson fakes own death!!! Buys house with Elvis!!
"I just want to be left alone" singer says.
PS- Gigi- the crankier you get, the sexier you are. Still time for the Lynard Skynard- Kid Rock concert Friday night. Just say the word.
5:27, ask one of your bosses.
Gal, you' even dumber than I thought. Apparently, you have a brain injury. You poor thing
7:31, Her question at 3:12 is proof of that.
She "believes" she is better than all of us and works harder than any of us. If true why does she continue to hang around here?
What 3:20 said.
the funny thing is, if she wroked at steel as she claims, shee's too old to be working the hours about which she whines, unless she is a dumb dumb. anyway, in 6 months, she'll be kicked to the curb, with no brain and no skills earned over her 10 years as an associate. never handled a client. never appeared in court. never originated a client or case. Can you imagine? still reading depos, 10 years out of school. Such a loser
$10 says she winds up being deputy branch chief at the SEC. Or managing partner at Gray Robinson.
$10 says she is looking at herself in the mirror as we type, wondering where it all went wrong.
People who throw around their intellect often become arrogant. Definitely not a turn on. I dont give a fuck about Greenberg Gal or about her fucking billable hours or fucking depos. If she doesnt understand the music on this blog she is a dumb. Thirty seconds of my life I will never get back for posting this.
she's gone her entire life, wondering why everyone she meets winds up with the same poor opinion about her. we must be all wrong, clearly .
honey, i'd head to teh skynyrd concert. its your only hope
Great lyrics! Would it be bad if I called you the Weird Al Yankovic of blogging lawyers?
Man, budget cuts are affecting everything these days....
Thanks Holly (I think), though I'm more a fan of "early Al" back when he was on Dr. Demento.
Stop blogging and have your kid already.
6:50-- That education cannot be taught, only experienced. Get out more gal.
Gal keeps things lively.
Wow, there is really much worthwhile info here!
