Not a One L...Not Quite a Lawyer...

You know just enough to get yourself in trouble right? Right. The urge to run before I walk is overwhelming me. If it were up to me I'd be opening up a firm tomorrow---haven't even sat for the BAR!!! I'm sure to lose it before I take that exam. It's this awkward position you hold as a soon to be doctoral graduate but NOT a licensed Attorney / a J.D. but not an Esq. My thoughts are entirely consumed with ideas and theories of how I can reinvent the wheel, and work 900 hours a week, and do contract work and appearances and this and that and I'll have a puppy in my office and a closet with spare things, and a coffee pot,....and my very favorite is the state of the art sound system I'll have and three computer monitors. Craziness. Madness.

The other day I noticed that me and the lady who calls the shots at that thankless fucking job have MAJOR communication issues. It appears as though she is anticipating my meaning before I finish my sentence. Like every word out of my mouth is calculated to take a tiny stab at her. Which it is not.

It is so annoying. I constantly feel like I am offending her. Here is my advice to you, my dear young, firecracker, boss:
