Tentative "whew"...

So, we won our trial this week. I realized on day two that the reason I was uneasy was that I was not the 1st chair, and had no control over the process. I have never 2 chaired a jury before. I've done literally dozens, but never in the navigator seat. It's a different perspective. I'm pretty sure I hate it.

It was a good week for saving my job. It's pretty rare to win these types of cases on our end, so that helped my stock price. Also, the firm's HR development partner showed up and talked to all of us. He talked to me for twice as long as we were scheduled, and it turns out that most people bitched specifically about how -I- have been treated lately... Not sure that's entirely a good thing, but at least it shows that treating me like shit shot morale all to hell.

So all I have to do now is finish this stupid research project, and I will have hit all the targets on my probation. Think I bought myself another month at least...

Procrastination can be fun

Still amotivated. Didn't apply for jobs. Didn't email the headhunter. Didn't work on the outline for the CLE I teach later this month. Didn't work on my trial prep. Didn't write my meet and confer letter.

I can tell you that the movie Troy is unwatchable. Totally sucks balls.

How much does your life suck if...?

How much does your life suck if a good day is:
1. Not getting yelled at by your tyrannical boss;
2. Getting to sneak our early to file things;
3. Finding out you don't have any loathsome social diseases or leukemia; and
4. Finding out that there's only a chance you're going to develop diabetes.

BTW, I don't have cancer. At least not the kind I was worried about. Why am I still depressed?
