building some kind of life
Sep. 12th, 2009 10:34 amThis week at work totally kicked my ass. But as of Monday we have a law clerk starting who will be entirely at my disposal, to get discovery on my large litigation cases organized and to do all my research/writing projects. Basically, a minion! *rubs hands together* Also, there's a very good chance that the case scheduled to go to trial on the 21st will settle. Which means I will get two weeks of my life back, and I will be significantly less stressed. All of this is good news!
And despite the fact that work is currently kicking my ass, I feel as if I'm sufficiently settled in that I can start thinking about adjunct teaching positions. The Boss Man is totally supportive of this plan, and I think it would be good both for me and for the continued branding efforts of the firm for me to start building up some academic credentials. So, that's what I'm going to do. *nods* 'Cause, you know, a part-time teaching job on top of a 50+ hour work week sounds like a great plan. :P
I woke up ridiculously early today to go pick up produce from the co-op I recently joined. Dude. That was A LOT of fruits and veggies! For $15 I got a huge basket of locally grown fruit and another of vegetables -- easily twice that value if bought at the store. An economically and environmentally sound choice! This pleases me. :)
Probably a significantly less economically sound decision would be season tickets to the Diamondbacks' 2010 season. But, OMG, WANT!!! *grabby hands* I went out to the ballpark yesterday, for a brief tour and to meet with one of the sales folks. In addition to getting to hang out and watch BP, I also found the PERFECT seats. Sadly, I don't have almost $6000 lying around at the moment. It might be do-able though, if I could split the season 3 or 4 ways. Anyone on my flist interested in something like that? *hopes*
So, what's everyone doing today? I have a workout with the trainer this afternoon. I had to cancel our mid-week session, due to the aforementioned work-related ass-kicking, so I'm looking forward to today's workout. Then tonight I'm joining some of the girls from work for the Ricardo Arjona concert. Good times!
