I'm here in Albany. And, you know what?I hate it.

Quick like a bunny, because I'm really late - yesterday I got an e-mail from someone at the PD's office and basically it said "I heard you were going to volunteer here "as you are waiting on a permanent position in the public defender's office". That sounds good,...

I work with about 25 or 30 attorneys at a pretty nice firm in the western part of Maryland. It's a multi-national firm with several hundred attorneys and I have to say, honestly, that the people at this particular office are really nice. Not at all what I'd expect...

No, I'm serious, tomorrow I am going to fill you four readers in on my life these past couple of weeks, complete with the fiasco of trying to bid on a house that is more or less a shell, people who drive on 495, and contract lawyering (if you can call it that,...

I have very poor coping skills. I think that I'm pretty strong and resourceful, but when it comes right down to it, I get stressed out very easily. I think that the first course of action is this - acceptance of the fact that I let every little thing get to me and I...

I have lots to write about. Seriously. Very soon (maybe this weekend?) I'm going to sit down and write like, an essay or something about being a lawyer, then not knowing if I want to be a lawyer, then trying to get a job, then trying to work my way through the maze of...

Work is hard. I'm tired. It's hard to wake up before 10 am and go somewhere where really, all you are is a glorified data entry person. Tab F5. That's what I do all day. Nine and one half hours a day. And I have to fill out a time sheet. And I'm smarter than a lot of...

So, Rockville and contract work. . . yeah. There's a lot to tell, more than I can do right now since it's 7 am and I have to make the at least one hour trek to there and I'm hoping to hear more about the ins and outs of this contract work world today. I heard a bunch...

I'm heading off to Rockville to start my temp job. No, I didn't end up going to D.C. since that project folded. (did I already mention that) By the way, Rockville is very far from Baltimore. Just because its in the same state, don't be fooled. Plus, there is no public...

I just talked to my co-counsel on this trial I have coming up and it turns out I don't have to go upstate tomorrow. He's going north today to hopefully have most of the counts dismissed, or something. The offer on this case is good, in fact, its nothing short of...

I am incredibly frustrated. I have to go back upstate to meet with an old client on a case that's coming for trial on April 1. I had no idea what my life was going to be like when I agreed to do the trial, and now it seems that nothing is as I had planned and the...

So, I went to the interview yesterday and of course I wowed them to pieces. They have a temporary project that is starting on Monday and while they 'normally wait to check references' they were so impressed with my credentials (read: desparate to staff this project)...
