So, first of all, I have these pearl earrings that are out to get me. I've left them in Connecticut, dropped them down the drain, had the post come off the pearl, and then, today, the back just FLEW off my ear. I reached up upon arriving at work and after killing approx 45 minutes on the internet and catching up with e-mails to fiddle with my earring, and it was being held in by NOTHING. NOTHING.

Then, I spent the whole morning waiting for an associate to come in so I could go and meet with her and go over the deposition outline I created for depositions that were supposed to happen this week. She was meeting a delivery person at her home, and was going to come in after that. I left for lunch at 12:30 without having heard from her.

Then, I thought I was settling in for a long afternoon with nothing to do, and instead had a flurry of e-mails, a meeting with some people from my pro bono project, and then a call from a newly appointed supervisor (b/c mine gave his 2 weeks notice, and his last day is Friday) who had a project for me.

What kind of project, Zuska?

Oh, I'm so glad you asked. Just your run of the mill Section 1983 Civil Rights Case.

But Zuska, I thought you were working at a big firm? Spending your time tromping on the little guy in order to benefit Corporate America?

Nope. Police Misconduct. That's me. Miss Police Misconduct. Miss ANTI police misconduct. I am working on behalf of the plaintiff.

Tonight is a dinner. Beloved and I are being taken out by my outgoing supervisor, and my mentor. They're bringing their spouses, too. I am home now, and reservations are for 7:30. I can't really decide if I should change my clothes. I don't think I will. My supervisor and mentor will be coming straight from hte office (I could not have filled the hours of 5 to 7 if I wanted to), and will have on their work clothes. So I may as well do the same. What am I gonna do? Put on jeans? Hardly.
