Went to court today... it was painful.

Not just mentally but also physically painful. First off, the case is really really really stupid. the judge recognized that and tried to get the 2 parties to settle.

that took 3 hours.

3 hours of sitting around doing absolutely nothing. Watching the clients then the lawyers go in and out of the judges office. And then the stupid clients decided they couldn't settle. Mostly it's the opposing counsel's client i think. He's an asshole. Our client clearly can't pay him the money he wants and he doesn't want to accept an alternative payment. What a dick.

then break for lunch.

then the trial started.

And it was one of the worst debates in human history. I think our lawyer is a total noob. I could totally pwn his ass. He may have 20 to 30 years experience but he's just awful at getting to the goddamn point. He spent the next 4 hours, asking the witness 2 questions. Just rephrasing them in different ways over and over. It was torturous. I just wanted to scream and take over from him. I actually banged my head against the wall a couple of times listening to him spar verbally with the opposing witness.

Let me try to summarize the case for u guys. Our client is an orchid breeder. Their client hired our client to breed orchids so that they can be registered to make a profit. Our client bred the orchids. Now they claim that they wanted 50 new species and instead they got 50 new hybrids. This is despite the fact that YOU ONLY GET HYBRIDS VIA BREEDING DICKHEADS! YOU NEED TO GO INTO A JUNGLE TO DISCOVER NEW SPECIES. So these idiots who don't know shit about shit, suddenly think that they are being cheated. They are so stupid that they stupidly invested money into an area where they have no knowledge or expertise, then realised that they MAY get cheated, then stupidly came to the WRONG CONCLUSION that they ARE being cheated.

So these retards decided to sue for the money back even though all the money has already been invested into growing the damn orchids. Our client obviously can't pay and is sitting around with 50 new hybrids THAT CAN MAKE MONEY IF REGISTERED, LIKE THEY AGREED! But Nooooooo. They decide to not just register the hybrids and make the damn money but sue.

These IDIOTS who were dropped on their head too many times as babies would rather spend a hundred thousand dollars, hiring lawyers to sue a poor guy who can only declare bankruptcy if he loses. so they spend $100,000++ to get back $150,000 worth of unretrievable cash instead of just registering the goddamn orchids and making a profit. These goondoos would rather be $250,00 in the red than to break even.

All this over what? over whether the words xin1 hua1 zhong3 (new flower type) means species or hybrids.

FUCKING RETARDS!
