I just took some cold medicine and drank a RedBull

And now I can see through all the bullshit...

... and drywall. I'm pretty sure I can see through walls. I can also smell the music.

Jk

I'm on par for an 80 hour week of sitting in my car (stay in school, kids. don't watch private eye tv shows and think you'll do that for a living). I woke up feeling hung over even though I don't drink.

Now I'm hoping my subject leaves soon so I can chase him through Atlanta morning traffic.

What are y'all up to today?

The only PI show that was close to reality was maybe Rockford Files, since he lived in a camper.

Rockford was cool but usually ended up punching or getting punched by someone every week. I try to be a tad more discreet.

People hear you're a PI and they go to Cheaters, the horrible show with a conflict in every episode or they think about watching people on Workers Comp. I do not do the Comp work nor do I ever tell the clients where their spouses are screwing around on them so they can confront
