I hate being a lawyer. I can't believe how negative everything about it is...what should be the simplest transactions turn into these incredible webs of lies, hatred, and bitterness. The end of every case means I have at least one more enemy. And I don't want any enemies...not that I got into this to make friends, I mean the whole system is based on adversity. I can't think of one case I've had that has gone smoothly from start to finish. So coincidentally, I found this on spiritdaily.com http://www.spiritdaily.com/peaceanddiscipline.htm

Whack and Siegfied are on vacation in DC. She called me yesterday (after she saw me walking down the street with 4 of the kids) and said her story is that she went to see an allergist in Washington...that's only if she gets busted, that will be her alibi. "Hello, Whackfriend? Yeah, you're more whack than I thought."

I love Friday nights...I always think I will get so much done over the weekend, like there is so much more time. Nigel is sleeping over at a friends house. Opening day of baseball tomorrow even though we already had one real game...lost 10 to 3 but that actually wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Tomorrow: Baseball parade at 8:30, game at 10
Nigel coming home at 9:30
Missy's friend Diana coming over from 1-4
Jack has a birthday party for Lindsey at the Y from 1-3.

That's all, aren't you glad you read this?

She's going to see an allergist in D.C.? Who's paying for that? I'll bet Seigfeld won't.

I still am not sure what I'm going to be when I grow up.

And...I hate being a doctor.....

I feel like I'm pigeon holed. I have no idea what I could do, there's GOT to be something less stressful but somehow fulfilling, yet by virtue of my degree the options aren't there.

Re: And...I hate being a doctor.....

I, can sympathize with you. Here I sit with a Master's Degree in Education and noone will hire me. noone looks wrong. Anyhow I, havea the worst case of Restless Legs that the Docs at the University of Michigan have ever diagnosed. So I, discovered this; wilst waiting for the meds to kick in. Let's buy some land and start a farm. That is what it is going to end up anyhow: Back to the basics. Living off the land. My dream. And publishing my book. Have you tried running for stress? It has made me a triathlete and a 30 mile a week runner. Yikes: But the sun damage. I will regret. Have you thought about teaching? Well, night night.

twin sister hates being a lawyer too.

I, have one of the worst cases of restless legs syndrome (really called pms! Periodic movement syndrome).But then THE pms came along and it is now called Periodic limb movement disorder. I, just got reading spiritdaily.com and am waiting for the meds to kick in and went perusing through the pages associated with this. I, am going to send this to my twin sister who is a lawyer and hates it. A lot. She works in juvie ct. in Detroit of all places! I will pass on this site to her. She is luckily on vacation in Glacier Park. Boy oh boy did she needed it. I will keep you in my prayers...Aptly called: "My eternal and forever prayer and Rosary list of the heart. I went to Medjugorje 3 times and payed for it ONLY ONCE. GO THERE.PEACE TO YOU AND YOURS, CLAIR-A-TWIN-TO-A-LAWYER.

jobs. Yikes. Where are they?!

This is one of the coolest things my restless legs presented me with! I, am an unemployed teacher in Michigan. Quite common; due to the state of affairs of the USA. I, also am a CNA: Certified Nurse's Assistant. Triathlete and runner. Running keeps me sane. Well, most of the time. Joke. Sort of. Hello new friends.

While that will scare some, I think it's one of the coolest things ever. It forces me to think long and hard about what I'm going to post and, more importantly, how that post is going to look in two-three years time.

I'm working as a therapist for several lawyers in Louisville and this is the problem I'm also confronted with; some of them (the most successful ones, I may add) actually hate their job because of this situation. In fact a lot of people hate their jobs and I've never encountered a single one brave enough to change it. The career myth seems to be a lot more powerful than we'd expect.
