New Beginings

In the attorney world I have found that people either work at one firm their entire career or they move on to better pastures. I know at our firm we have several attorneys who have only worked here. I'm not sure if that is the nature of the law or our firm, but I think it speaks volumes. I think it says our firm invests in associates to build them into partners. It means we are doing something right is so many people stay year after year. So, its sad when someone leaves. My husband laughed when I told him we have "last day cake." But this time its is "my person" as one of our partners called this associate.

To tell you the truth this person is awesome. I have been taught so much in such short by this person. Never tells me no or too busy; always there to lend a hand or ear; teaches me how to do things instead of criticising; patient when I ask a zillion questions about the same thing; and reassuring me that I can do this. Yes, as a partner put it this was my person.

As much as I will miss my person, I know that bigger and better things lie ahead for this person. I wish my person nothing but the best and extend my gratitude for being a wonderful teacher, mentor, and friend. Now, Its time to put on my big girl lawyer pants skit and keep calm and lawyer on!
