However, I'm really not in the mood to write much lately. I know this should be an extremely happy time for me, but I've had such hassle at work and the woman who was supposed to be my mentor. Well, she was anything but and pretty much had it out for me since mid-October, leading to me becoming more and more anxious and stressed and finally, this past Friday, I got "laid-off". And I know, it was all her fault. I think this was the most miserable experience I've ever had! And this for my first attorney job ... thanks for nothing... Anyhoo, that's been the reason I've been so quiet because things really escalated over the last few weeks, but now it's done.
It's frightening to be out there now, with 'child', and no job. I'm hoping that my connections will pan out. I'm trying to look at this as a positive, because after all, I was extremely unhappy since October and they made the decision for me. I'm pretty sure I want to get back into criminal law and leave civil law behind. It was kinda boring for me and I thoroughly enjoy a good homicide... juuuuuuuuuust kidding. ;) I'm gonna give the DA's office a shot again. I just wish I didn't have to worry about finding employment that'll accommodate "motherhood" for me. Ugh.
Anyhoo, I want to close on a happy note (I'm embarrassed that half this post is a 'wank-post' but that's where I'm currently at, bah!). I'm taking 2 weeks off and hope to post tons more pictures of my little devil dog. He's grown so much already ... see for yerselves!
And getting bigger:
I'm so sorry about all of the stress you've been having, at work! I hope that this change will bring wonderful new opportunities, where you will shine! Take the two weeks and, I'm certain, Finley will fill your days with joy and laughter!!! Take care of yourself, my friend.
ReplyDeleteYOU are going to be just fine and will come out of this with a FABULOUS new job. I happen to know that SB has some really fine criminal lawyer firms and they are just waiting for a young hotshot like you to show up. BUT...take the 2 weeks off and just chill with your pup. That will be the best therapy.
ReplyDeleteHe is adorable and still looks like a smallish person to me. Also, I am thrilled to hear that he is also a 'devil dog'. Yes, yes I am.
Remember you can always make more money but you can't make more time...
xo
I LOVE the pictures. I still can't believe you went from big huge and hairy - to little and spunky!! Oh yes - the pugs I've known have all been more like little closet nut-balls!!!! Watch Out!!
ReplyDeleteAs to the job - I believe a better job is out there for you. I was just thinking of one of the girls that got laid off from my company back in 2008. She took time off to travel. (Had enough money to travel of course, which isn't everyone.) And one spot was New Zealand. Planned to stay a week but ended up staying much longer and made some friends/connections. After traveling more, returning home, and having no luck with a new job. She gets a call from New Zealand! She's now long gone and having a great new life in a new country with a fantastic job. So. . you just never know.
And Indiana and I were sooooOOOOoooo broke at times, so broke. I can't say it isn't hard, but we managed. So will you.
I liked your blog its very interesting and all the photos are awesome
