deathpixie | Must not strangle lawyer...

Over the past three work days, as some of you will know, I've been calling approximately 40 people in order to arrange for them to come to court in Sault Ste Marie this Wednesday to pick up restitution cheques. Why not mail them, you ask? Well, Alvin wanted to do it in person as much as possible. It wasn't a bad task, giving people good news they weren't expecting, and I've gotten pretty much all of them in some form or other.

Then, this morning, Alvin tells me the case might not go ahead.

What does this mean? Well, it means that a) we have to adjourn the matter, when the SSM trial coordinator was most specific about things going ahead and the JP not being jerked around again; b) that I have to cancel - again - the flights and hotel bookings that I'd made for Alvin; and c) I have to call every one of the people who said they would attend at court this Wednesday and tell them that no, they can't get their money that day, can they attend at court next week instead?

I'm torn between strangling him, and crying in the corner at the thought of all that work wasted and all those people who are going to be pissed off at me. :(
