This job might actually take – I’m going to HR today to fill out paperwork. That means I’m probably really going to have a job. Not like before where I have one, then don’t, then eh, you know.

I was looking through some old files today and suddenly I got really excited about doing this work again. Excited, and scared shitless like always. I told these good folks, all during my interviews, that criminal defense scares the crap out of me because I take each case very personally. I think, in a way, it makes it harder for me to do this work because I look at each client and imagine themselves away from their families and the people who love them. I wish I could look at them like just work. Or like scummers. It would probably make it easier. I wonder if it would make me a more effective attorney if I could concentrate more on the lawyering part and less on the emotional stuff.

Insert segueway here:

Last night we went to see Patton Oswald and the Comedians of Comedy tour. It was great, except for the fact that it was standing room only and I’m barely five feet tall so I couldn’t see anything and really, it was like listening to the CD, but with more people smoking and more obnoxious college kids. But, all in all, pretty funny stuff. I ran into the guy who owns the building with the singing office in it. I wasn’t going to say hello, except that Husband made me because the guy owns a production company and a record label. So, he must get tickets to stuff or something that makes him a ‘cool guy to know’. He (the guy who owns the office, not husband) asked me what was going on and I told him about the job blah blah blah and he said the ususal “well, if I get into trouble, I’ll call you.” And I said the usual, blah blah blah. Then I thought, genius! When I do get my cards, I will definately send him some. I mean, his clients MUST get arrested for stuff! They are musicians. They think its cool to get arrested, right??? And then I can get tickets to stuff AND clients. I am a marketing genius.

Oh, one perk I forgot about for this new job that I’m pretty sure I’m going to actually be starting is that they have season tix to the O’s. How perfect is that for me?
