That doesn't sum me up, but it does explain this blog. I graduated law school recently and have been working as an associate at Divorce Drama Inc. (haha no that's really NOT the name of my firm). I like my job. I really do. There are just times when I find my job so unbelievable... that I need an outlet.
There are things in law school that they don't tell you. They wouldn't tell you because if they did, you wouldn't take out that house size of a loan, dress in all black (because you must be serious in order to get a job), and think that after you get out of the torture of three years of feeling like a moron ... that you had finally succeeded simply because YOU and maybe 10% of your class have a JOB!!! These deep dark secrets will be revealed slowly as I describe to you what I found out. (Sorry Law School Grads of 2011, you're screwed).
There are classes I think that the law schools around the world should offer like "Know It All Client's" and "Surprise! Your First Trial is Today!" ...
Then there are the clients you need to meet: "Miss. Apeshit", "Mr. Co-Counsel" , "Mr. He/She"... you'll learn more about these later.
In sum, my entire blog here is somewhere for me to get out my deepest darkest thoughts as I stare into my chocolate martini and wonder why my clients feel it is okay to tell me about their nastiest sex fantasies and what their exes won't do... and ponder how my life with it's irritations and upsets... also has a sense of awesomeness that makes it truly unique.
Soap operas have nothin' on divorce court... to be continued.
