    a few work-related tidbits
    I have a mere 2 weeks left at work.

    I don't know how explicitly I've shared my Theme of the Summer Job on this blog - but I'm ready to do it now:

    Boredom.

    That's the theme. I believe that from what I've gathered, a new assignment system was rolled out for this year, and I"m not sure it works. There were too many instances of the right hand not communicating with the left, and while some people were buried in work, many were idle for a great percentage of their time.

    Including me.

    And I didn't like it.

    But now, finally, my voice has been heard, and I'm getting work. Lots of work.

    And I'm pleased, because I like doing the work.

    But.

    My friends who were busy when I was not? Well, now they're not.

    Fortunately, the work I'm doing is very exciting, and I really do like it. I'm using my law school learning, I'm doing "complex litigation" and addressing exciting issues (remember? police misconduct?) I'm using my Corporations (not on the police misconduct case - another one); my Federal Courts; my Civil Procedure; and more.

    So now that I'm on the way out, things are picking up, and I don't really feel ready to be done. I think, if my kids weren't on their way home, i could easily work another 2 or 3 weeks.

    Now that I'm actually working.

    But I finish on the 11th, and my beauties come home on the 12th, and we get 2 weeks of fun and leisure, and I can't wait to have them back.
