I ran into a bunch of the people from my last project while in the office building yesterday during my training. I really like them (this post is not going to be flowery since I have to leave to get on train in 20 minutes and I haven’t showered yet). The project itself is pretty cool. Yeah, I mean it, it seems like its going to be pretty neat. I got three more job interviews – all for next week. I don’t think its going to work out. I’m turning one of them down. Its for a firm in North Baltimore county – general practice. They were ‘cautioned’ by my lack of Maryland Court experience but still want to talk to me about potential employment and they want to pay me a first year associate salary. Dude, you can’t complain when you are paying 5k more than legal aid, okay?
Got a silly form letter from the PD. In Bold letters. I’m done with them. They put me ‘back in the pool’. I’m sick of their smelly, piss laden pool. I’m not going on another interview with them. If they want to hire me, just hire me already. You know what I’m about. I have another interview at a criminal defense firm next week, two interviews for LSAT part time teaching at those review courses, one for a consulting firm (phone interview) and I am just thinking about my own office. That’s all I am thinking about. I’m getting good advice about it and I really am excited and scared and nervous and all that other good stuff and bad stuff all rolled into one.
Neighbor lady sent me an e-mail saying she would charge me MORE than the other offices I’ve seen, but only if I don’t practice criminal defense. I understand that she doesn’t want criminals in her house, but still. It’s what I do. And can you ask a leopard to change its spots? In case you don’t know the answer, Leopards don’t speak english so you could ask but they wouldn’t understand you.
