Orick's gain with Deputy Joe but I am not happy with his new assignment

I have my favorite deputies and bailiffs but Deputy Joe Conlin is and will always be my most favorite.   I don't care who is assigned to Courtroom 1, it will always be Joe territory.

Orick is very lucky. Joe has a great sense of humor, the right personality to handle people from all walks of life, stays calm in a very stressful job but don't cross him!

Even after we became good friends, you think he'd cut me some slack once in a while but no, he had to be all bad ass, tow the line and rules on me!

My revenge, writing this sappy post, so his coworkers get to pick on him about it.
