since your luck appears to be mainly good luck that must mean you kissed a wrong'un.

when i started my job they told me i would not be paid for 45 days and i was worried and borrowed rent money from my mom. now it turns out i'll be paid next week! i am really having a streak that makes me feel afraid of what bad luck is coming.

i got paid today but i went to the mega liquor store last week and just used my credit card. it turned out to be a big mistake to do it on a thursday night but nothing very bad happened ; )

harbl, as ever you have my full encouragement in all of your endeavours.
― estela, Thursday, 2 September 2010 21:48 (thirteen years ago) link
thanks estela. some things about my life are going ok, but others are not. for example, i can't seem to clean my house, and i am always ready to fall asleep at 8:30 pm, i'm anxious, and i need to be getting more exercise. i'll take your encouragement, maybe it'll help.

i had my first trial today and i won it, even though the prosecutor did a very good job and i just sort of bumbled along. i hope i get better at that eventually.

harbl, your post made me start clapping! Then I remembered I was at work.

i've won 3 out of 4 now but i haven't had any that are hard yet. i think i just pick the easy ones, which is fine, but i should try a couple harder ones. this is seriously the most tiring job, i'm always wiped out and i feel like i spend way more time on it than co-workers and haven't worked out a system to get ahead of my work. i need encouragement.still kissing btw

i have become addicted to DAMAGES and watched the first two seasons in under a week, and it has made me realise that lawyering is some ridiculously hard work and i don't know how anyone does it tbh.
i am sending encouragement your way!
― smoove operator, Thursday, 14 October 2010 01:43 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't know how i do it. i honestly want a different job after today, it was just awful.
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 14 October 2010 21:02 (thirteen years ago) link
chin up!
― estela, Friday, 19 November 2010 07:14 (thirteen years ago) link
you can do it.
yeah i'm doing it but i don't like it most of the time. every day is a deluge of problems and unfinishable work, and someone is always unhappy with you. i hate the feeling of people being unhappy with me. i guess this is what it's like to be a grown-up. jobs lol

the past 2 weeks especially i just felt so bad and hated
what kind of 'emotional training' - if any - do get during law school? for like, dealing with the clients (esp. the kind of clients you have).
― smoove operator, Sunday, 21 November 2010 04:09 (thirteen years ago) link
i couldn't really answer this when you asked it bc i was too tired, but the answer is: none. the clients are pretty challenging for people-persons and non-people-persons (hi) alike. many of them have multiple very serious problems such as drug or alcohol addiction, severe learning disabilities, extreme rage at everything, weird attachment issues where they want you to talk to them and not other people, inability to remember what you just said to them, general rudeness and other inexplicable behaviors, smelliness, etc. i had just typed out one of my special unique experiences from today but i thought it might violate the attorney-client privilege maybe
― spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 10 December 2010 00:04 (thirteen years ago) link
basically there are so many dudes who have done so many drugs and are ruined and oscillate between anger/rudeness and docile stupidity, and i have to talk to them all the time. also drug moms, and girls who get in fights and ruin people's stuff

girls who get in fights and ruin people's stuff
my sister went to juvie. she went over to a girl's house, got scissors, pinned the girl down, and cut her hair. that's assault i guess. i think there were other charges, maybe breaking and entering
― jergins, Friday, 10 December 2010 03:17 (thirteen years ago) link
i had a girl who jumped up and down on someone's car and scratched it up with a crowbar, or not. we'll never know if it was really her i guess.

i'm feeling a lot better about my job lately, like i can handle it and i'm starting to know what i'm doing. this week i had 4 trials and won 3 of them, the last one completely unexpectedly because i didn't want to have it. clients complimented me and said i was trying to do my job and asked if i wanted to be a real lawyer someday :)
