Going for the record!
Will it be a trifecta????
My personal best is two walk through settlements at two different WCAB district offices in a single morning. Tomorrow I am going to attempt three walk through settlements at three different WCAB district offices in a single morning. My plan is to start my day at the San Jose WCAB at 8:00AM, hit the Oakland WCAB afterward, jet to San Francisco, and then return to the office. Google Maps tells me that this is going to be 134 miles over 2 hours and 39 minutes. [1][2]
As I mentioned before, there’s a lot of things that can go wrong – traffic, long walk through lines, a broken photocopier. [3]
But, I’ve done what I can to ensure this works. I’ve called the other parties, have a checklist of everything I need to do in the order I need to do it, my cell phone is charged up[4] , phone numbers for opposing counsel and my clients hand, GPS charged up, prepared Minutes of Hearing, Document Cover Sheets, Document Separator Sheets, Awards, and Orders. [5][6]
If you happen to be in San Jose, Oakland, or San Francisco today stop me and say hello. (And – pretty please may I cut ahead of you in line?)
Lastly, I’ll be checking back here throughout the day, so how about leaving me a word of encouragement in the comments?[7]
- If I had another walk through to do in Santa Rosa, I would be planning a different order. [↩]

- Or, heaven forbid, EAMS could be working tomorrow. THAT would foul me right up. [↩]
- And a back up cell phone charged up too! [↩]
- I even sacrificed a giant sequoia sapling as an offering to EAMS. [↩]
- I’m even bringing two extra settlements just in case one falls through! Although, this is really due to coincidence than meticulous planning… [↩]
- I think live blogging the trip might be a bit much – but we’ll see. [↩]
