I have recently decided to quit my job and go back to school full time.
I can’t begin to tell you the relief that comes with that decision. The sensation of relief far out-weighs my terror over how we are going to get our bills paid, and each day I am more convinced that I have made the right decision.
This is going to be an interesting couple of years with both of us as full time students and little hope of any kind of financial aid. We’ll see what happens.
This morning I attended a seminar on labor issues and current cases before the National Labor Relations Board. Yada Yada Yada Yawn. It was interesting, but not worth reporting on in a journal like this.
Of note however, was the schwag. As with all seminars and conferences there was an abundance of schwag provided by the law firm – some of it quite nice.
I’ll viciously protect my new pen, it’s weighted and fits my hand perfectly.
The obligotory stress balls were there, this time you also had the option of getting a stress penguin which I though was a nice touch.
Then the breathmints – also a step up from some of the cheap schwag I’ve seen in the past.
But by far the most notable was the chapstick. Yes – chapstick. I guess those lawyers need lubrication for their lips. Mmmm, minty.
