Back to the drawing board

This is how my morning started out. I had no sooner plopped myself in my desk chair at 8:45 am when the phone rang. It was a partner in my office with whom I have a good working relationship. He can be quite grumpy, but I seem to have endeared myself to [...]

The Eleventh Wheel

Another weekend is coming to an end, dear readers, and I thought I’d wrap it all up with a blog. Overall it was a pretty mellow weekend. I had to work part of the day yesterday and for a couple of hours today, but other than that I enjoyed the 4th annual cookie [...]

Fa la la la la

Today, dear readers, I truly dived right into the holiday spirit. In addition to the holiday decor I already bought last weekend, I am now also the proud owner of a 7 1/2 foot tall artificial tree with white lights. My parents even sent me all my childhood Christmas ornaments, since they don’t [...]

Little Miss Law Takes a Breath

There’s nothing quite like going from being hideously, all-consumingly, mind-numbingly busy at work to finally catching a breath and having some free time. After 2 straight weeks of intense hours and stress, things have finally calmed down and it feels just miraculous. Tonight I came home, put on my PJs, cooked some ravioli, [...]

Little Miss Law on Recruiting, part II

Happy Monday, dear readers. This promises to be a truly hectic week, as I am juggling my pro bono case, an appeal brief, a motion, and my first ever pseudo business trip. For tonight, though, I am taking a deep breath before I dive in, and focusing on the real priority — the [...]

Honing my Dating Skills, on the Job

Dear readers, I apologize for my lack of blog-ness recently.  My recent lack of a computer at home has made blogging difficult (as I can’t bill this time to anyone!) but hopefully I will be buying a shiny new laptop this weekend.
I know what some of you (ahem, Knittikins) are going to say about my [...]

Just One of Those Days…

…Make that one of those weeks.  I know, it’s only Tuesday.  It’s a combo of a lot of things, some carrying over from last week, including: a breakup; continuing sleep deprivation; insanity at work; one of my co-workers being given 60 days to find a new job; and just a general icky feeling.  Wah wah [...]

The “end” is just the beginning

Ok, ok.  That title is such a tease.  It suggests that I am going to be writing about something deep and insightful, like starting over after a rough time, bouncing back from a breakup, or something along the lines of one of my favorite song lyrics: “Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”  [...]

White Water, Dry Land, Summer Associates, Karaoke and other Hazards

Hello dear readers!
My apologies for the absence of posts for the last few days.   I was on a whitewater rafting trip with my firm — left Friday midday, got back Saturday almost midnight, and spent all day yesterday doing errands and trying to catch up on sleep and feel less sore.  I swear that I [...]

Hump Day Tribulations

Subtitle: Don’t Call me Ma’am; Litigation Gives me a Heart Attack; and Thoughts On Feeling Like a Guilty Sellout While Eating Rubber Chicken.
I am feeling particularly bloggy tonight.  Prepare yourselves, dear readers!
First things first.  I hate, hate, hate being called “ma’am.”  I can’t think of a single thing that makes me feel older or more [...]
