This week's Idol poll was temporarily closed due to weather (no, really). But it's open again, and I could really use your vote. Thank you for your support!

We talked to our daughter earlier this week. She's almost done with her first year as an attorney, and we really enjoy hearing about her cases. She's about to start her second trial. She has an uncooperative witness who might fail to show up for his court date, and if that happens, she'll request a bench warrant from the judge. \o/

For reasons of bizarreness, I am rooting for that to happen! (As is HalfshellHusband). It occurred to me that I might be playing a game of Baby Lawyer Bingo in my head. So, I created an actual bingo card for it (as you do):

Baby Prosecutor Bingo

Defeat Motion to Exclude Evidence	Impeach Testimony	Request to Confer with Co-Counsel	Request Sidebar
Objection— Hearsay	Request Remarks be Stricken	Hostile Witness	Conviction
Motion in Limine	Objection— Argumentative	Bench Warrant Issued	Objection— Leading
Motion for Summary Judgment	Objection— Council is Testifying	Felony Trial	Request Continuance

It made me think about what a bingo card for software engineering might have on it:

Compiler error

Your build failed

Invalid memory access

Build will not boot up

Your program crashed

Previous functionality now broken

Code branch— duplicate your work!

Code branch— your fix is too late

Code review server is down

Code merge error

Your function has died of dysentery

Your fix caused another bug

Customer found a bug in your code

Code delivery is late

If only I could make that sound less dry and more wacky...

it doesn't seem that long since they were in primary school and now they've got actual adult jobs

I know! I still remember when Stewart was a lad of 14 or so, and I can't get used to him being in his mid-late 20s. :O
