File this

So yesterday one of the temp agencies gave me grief for calling them a few times a week.  They said I wasn’t bugging them when I called so many times. Excuse me? Isn’t it your job to find me a job?? I was so pissed I almost called back and told them to take me off their so-called available list. But then I realized I really need the money so I bit my tongue. I just don’t get how they have NO jobs at all. Seriously.

Then the other temp agency (there’s only 2 that actually find work for attorneys in Rainy City) called and has a filing position open. That’s it, only filing. Now, I know I’m being snotty here, but I’m an attorney. When I was a senior in college, 7 years ago, I had a job as a file clerk at a law firm. That was fine, but I don’t want to revert back to that sort of position. Especially at a preeminent law firm, as an attorney, for a measly $14 an hour. And it’s downtown so I’d have to drive and park which combined daily would be about what I’d make daily in wages. I need the job and the money I know. But my pride doesn’t want me to take it.

OH and I find out about my bar results very soon, so there is a possibility* I’d be an attorney barred in two states doing filing. Yup, that would suck.

* don’t want to jinx myself here

Work

So tomorrow is my last day at the temp job. Which is partly good because I’m quite tired of the task, but also partly bad because no more money will be coming in. At least for now. And I won’t see my friends on a daily basis.  Working only with Glasses hasn’t been all bad. She’s not as, um, annoying, as she was when the others are around. Plus it’s nice to have girl talk.

As for Jenner? No word yet. I guess the 3 day rule may be in effect?

Better days

Ok so I’m at work and since we finished the project, they asked us back, but only 2 of us. And that would be me and Glasses. Joy huh? Jenner is gone :(   But I did run into him this morning and we were walking together, laughing, and if I do say so myself, flirting! When I left to go to lunch, he was still here and I said goodbye to Music Man and to Jenner, I just said “See ya later Jenner” to which he smiled and said, “Yep”. So I guess thats good? I know I’m over-analyzing this thing to death, but I can’t help it. I’m a lawyer, it’s what we do. And I really, really like him. First time in awhile I’ve liked someone this much. So the plan is to call him Saturday with news of what’s going on. Now I just have to figure what that is…

In other news…I’ve reconnected with 2 good guy friends who are both in Rainy City. And I had lunch with a former co-worker today. This city isn’t so bad and now that I’m getting ready to move, I’ve been in contact with these people and more. It’s strange. Plus the whole thing with Jenner. Ugh.

Oh and it’s freezing outside today!! I spoke to my friend J. in NYC and she was at the beach today. Meanwhile I just froze to death outside in the 40 degree weather and high winds. Life is not fair sometimes people!

Once again, a productive member of society

Monday, 9am, I’m once again contributing to the GDP. It’s just a temporary gig, doing the thrilling legal work called, prepare yourself, document review! How exciting–digging through thousands of boxes and reviewing legal documents. Thank goodness it’s electronic. But still, bo-ring! Oh well, I will be earning money and saving it, of course, for my move to Major City. I have gotten used to not working, getting up whenever I felt like it (10 am usually), leisurely working out, and also being bored out of my mind. There’s only so many days where one can do nothing. And course when you’re unemployed, you have no money to do anything. I’ve really only had a few weeks to be idle and lazy, but I’m tired of it. It’s too repetitive.

The only downside is that it’s only temporary and could last a week or maybe 6 months. That’s the lovely side of litigation. The parties can settle at a moment’s notice.

So back to commuting and business wear! And of course, that green thing called money.
