Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Well worth seeing. Norbert Leo Butz alone is worth the price of admission.

Admiralty Arch - the Mall

Well, since I'm sitting at my desk working on a case involving a London admiralty arbitration, this seems like an appropriate photo for today.

Striking, too.

Career Counseling

I had my first appointment with my career counselor yesterday. Pretty amazing, as far as the things she was able to show me about my current situation, and the ways I'm thinking about it.

I left feeling optimistic--and with a homework assignment.

Anyway, it felt good to do something about it rather than just bitch. In fact, it felt GREAT.

Hmmmm....

Not sure how well this is going….Abby got stuck behind the sofa cushions last night….

Enough

The past five years have been the most discouraging of my working life. Also, I graduated law school five years ago. Coincidence? I think perhaps not. One thing that seems very clear is that I’m not of the proper temperament to be a litigator. And I think that’s probably a good thing.

So now it’s time to actually figure out what I’m going to be when I grow up! I have made an appointment with a well thought of Career Counselor for this Tuesday. It’s a little pricey, but I’m looking at it as therapy, so I can justify the expense that way. Besides, how can you put a price on finding something that makes you want to get out of bed every morning, rather than retreating under the covers? Well, you can, but I figure it’s worth some investment. So, here goes…. more later.

Let's try this one next . . .

OK, the last Fast Food I had was Sunday. Burger King. Blech.

So, my first day without fast food is October 3, 2005. Let’s see if I can do this for thirty days. Or not do it, I guess (I feel like Morgan Spurlock!)




My definition of success: No fast food from major national chains for 30 days.




Let’s see how this goes…
