Karma gives me a good kick in the...
I have always had a mobile phone since I became a criminal defense attorney in Houston over ten years ago. I do not know how anyone practices law without one in day and age. I know several lawyers that practice with me in Houston that refuse to use a cellular phone for work. Others, still rely on a pager for the courts and clients to get a hold of them when they are out of the office. Today, as fate would have it, my blackberry phone was inoperable so I got a taste of what it would be like to practice law without a phone. It was frustrating to be inaccessible to everyone that needs to get a hold of me for work purposes namely my office, the court or my clients. Additionally, it was difficult to properly calendar my court resets. I guess it was my fate after my semi critical blog the other day about the medical profession's unwillingness to provide their patients with a proper means of getting a hold of them. Perhaps, it was Karma getting back at me since I am going to the U2 concert tonight and I was critical of their decision to have Blackberry to sponsor this tour.
