So...this has officially been one of the suckiest weeks ever. And it's only fucking Tuesday. I can't WAIT to see what the rest of the damn week brings.
I work my ass off for my office. I not only work my ass off for my office, I'm still pulling double duty working for 2 firms and juggle 2 full case loads on a daily basis. Plus I'm trying to train the newbies at my dad's office and mentor the not so newbies, while trying not to throttle them for their incompetence which isn't all entirely their fault. In the past 2 weeks, I've taken my first case to trial on absolutely no notice and won, I've been appointed to 2 state bar committees, received an appointed position as an editor on a national publication, been appointed to a county bar committee, settled a big case and actually managed to appease the world's most demanding client, even getting a compliment or two in the process from someone who NEVER gives them out. All wonderful things. Yahoo for me.
And in the next breath, I've been screamed at for having the audacity to leave the office early on Friday (to observe a religious holiday), cursed at my a client who is stiffing us on our legal bills after we saved him from multi-million dollar liability in a case, and basically told that I'm totally incompetent at my job.
So, to those people who actually recognize talent when it's staring them in the face, I hope that's enough because I can't take much more of the abuse.
What a week. Someone pour me a drink. And keep them coming!

So you won a freakin' case for them and they turn around at tell you that you suck???
doesn't make a damn bit of sense, does it?
I would hate to see what happened if you lost the trial!
ridiculous!
Well Crap! I'm so sorry they're treating you shabbily! Can you leave a flaming bag of dog poop in front of their doors?? Won't acomplish much, but you'll sure feel better.
Well I recognize your talent in conveying your emotions. If you decide to quit the law thing, you should think about writing a column.
See now...this is what happens when you choose to actually get a job and work. I'll have a fruity rum drink in your honor (get the pun?)
Cheers to all your accomplishments. I'm not in law but that sounds like at least a year of achievements! I will come there and kick these A-holes in the face!
Kudos on all the good stuff. I'd say you are quite the wonder woman to get all that done PLUS be an awesome mommy and blogger. Screw the asshole clients. Then sue them for the money they owe you!
It takes some time to have the guts to fight back at workplace abusers. I don't cop shit from anyone anymore. I used to and it made me feel incompetent when really I was being blamed for someone elses stupidity. Stand up for yourself and remind them of the good you've done! People too easily forget the positives and dwell on the negatives. Look at it this way, things can only get better!
That is total bullshit! You should start your own firm! I would be your client!
