As in, not law?but, you worked so hard for it!!
Part of my frustration yesterday was realizing that when I'm working on a case I'm essentially killing myself: I only eat what I need to function and I all but stop sleeping. During the last case I lost 15 lbs and slept something like 4 hours/night.
I hate it and have for a long while now.
I've always aspired to be a professional beach bum.
Hey . .
The advanced degree won't help your earning power and will keep you off the beach longer, so jump right into it!

It's still over mine.
Fantastic movie. John Cusack is a hit man who goes home for his high school reunion. When people asks what he does, he answers truthfully, and people assume he;s joking. That's one of his friend's responses to "I'm a hired killer"

Back to the topic, I have a vent. I work in a grocery store, as most of you know. It relly irks me for one, when people unload their buggys, I start on their order, then they decide, Oh! I need one more thing!!! So, they dissappear for like 10 minutes, and come back with an armful of stuff!! In the meantime, my line gets backed up!! My other vent is when people try to use the Express Lane (very well marked, I might add) for a large order. . Then they get upset when I ask them to move to another lane!!

Keep tellin' them to move, Grits. You're completely in the right, and everyone in line will thank you (or they should! I would!).
My vent: Co-workers. Again. I just feel so disrespected when certain people on staff prioritize what they want to do over what I've already told them needs to be done. ARGH! My boss says he'll back me, but he doesn't really. He doesn't want to get into it. ARGH! It's like they think they can take advantage of me, which makes me feel horrible.

OK I know this is going to sound bad but it's a HUGE issue here in Houston.
ILLEGALS who are driving in rush hour on the freeways!!! They don't drive the speed limit or are such horrid drivers that you have to play bumper cars.

He basically told me that it is NOT all on my shoulders to pick up the pieces when someone drops a project. I have the reasonable right to turn around to others in my department and say, "HELP! I am overwhelmed because this project was turned in to me late. I cannot possibly get it all done today, and I need your help."
That is a great insight for me. Part of the reason I get mad is because I feel disrespected but the other part is because I mistakenly feel that it is solely my dump to deal with. It's not.

I'm glad you had this epiphany, Jen. I hope it helps ease some of the stress and tension surrounding your job.
