I have a love/hate relationship with my job, well rather my job has a love/hate relationship with my body. File folders have killed my cuticles. Stress has chipped away my nails. Stress has also caused me to eat (ok well I know its hasn't forced me too, but emotional eating happens and we do have cake for birthdays... yes blame the birthday cake). Brain drain has depleted my sense of humor and random pieces of law have overtaken my thoughts. I quote statutes not movies and people ask me questions and my internal billable clock begins. Driving home I see torts and negligence, in my home I see the same. That wet spot in the grocery store... negligence? The plane crash on the news, the derailment of a train... The street widening project by my house is not just good, its condemnation in action!
They say law school teaches you to think different, but practicing law makes you react differently. But the best part is finding the perfect case after hours of researching or getting a great judgment for your client. Yes I love my job, but sometimes I'm not a fan of what it does to me!
I used to think attorneys who said things like this were exaggerating...until I started law school. I can't decide if it's funny or sad! haha But yes...few things top finding THE case.
