Change? Good
Please to be going to congratulate F-Train and CK on their impending adventures, which include leaving the practice of law and spending the summer in Las Vegas. F-Train today had a nice backgrounder on how those plans have come about.
I love this paragraph:
Good luck!
I love this paragraph:
After two and a half years of corporate lawyering I had again reached the point where I just didn't care. It was a combination of factors. Most of all I think I'm just really not terribly interested in what I do. That's a problem in a world where people expect to be able to reach you at all hours of the day and where you can't go home until the task is done. It creates a resentment that builds to a point where eventually you're going through the motions for the sake of cashing a paycheck every fifteen days. That's no way to live, even if it *is* a comfortable life. Which brings us to today.If I'd been the one writing it, it would have looked like this:

Good luck!

Thanks! I'd be lying if I said I didn't have the "what the fuck did I just do" moment Friday night after I left work, but onwards and upwards...
Thanks for the well wishes.
Come visit us in Vegas!
It will be the former lawyer outpost . . .
I thank myself daily that I've never been seduced by corporate law.
Instead, I get to plumb the depths of human behaviour in the sphere of criminal law every day.
Oh, wait . . .
