I’ve found that i cannot stay focused at work.

Which is sad really. The truth is that when i attempt to write at work, my mind is constantly focusing on other aspects of the room. Not to mention i work with like six other people in the same office within their own cubicles.

Well, i’m talking about work right now because tonight i just went to a “gathering” of attorney’s at a bar that also happened to have a pool table.

I need to work on my pool game btw. I’ve become embarrasing. The table was embarrasing, but i made way to many rookie mistakes. anyway, back to the night as a whole.

Mary came with me, so it was really kewl. I did in fact drink, to bypass any potential questions that could cause problems. I’ve given in. I have never been confrontational. Evasive would be the best description. I attempt to evade every possible confrontation, it is why i like chess. Evade, then strike. AND i digress again.

I had a drink. The night was very festive and exciting. I’m really wiped out. It is sad that we were celebrating the success of an attorney. That is, his success in getting a better job at a better lawfirm. Strange eh? Yeah and the firm paid for everything. The tab had to be enormous.

Mary did in fact have a good time, I was very pleased. Before i was concerned that she would feel out of place, but by ten minutes into the party she had warmed up very nicely to everyone and was mingling herself with everyone. I forced her to this thing on date night of all nights. I was concerned about ruining date night with it, but i see it did not.

I was a little concerned about being new. I’ve been there for maybe a week, but it made for very entertaining conversation. One of the patners at the lawfirm joked that give me a few more weeks and i’d be paralegal number 1. The funny thing is, he doesn’t know how true he could be. I will just say this, the attorney who is leaving was the favorite attorney of the current number 1 paralegal. Right, so i give him maybe 5-6 weeks of job searching.

Honestly though, I was treated very well. It was nice. After being practically spit upon by so many secretaries, it was nice that the attorney’s treated me with serious respect. Until i scratched on the eight ball.

Did i mention my pool skillz need help. Honestly i was doing well, but then i fucked up. Pisses me off.

All the same, I had fun and i believe Mary had fun. I AM SO WIPED out. need to sleep. I actually feel excited to work on the cases again monday.

I also saw Stacy, one of my bosses smashed. OH my god. she was sooo fucking smashed.

It was hilarious.

    Mary is [i:47b9f378b7]the cool[/i:47b9f378b7]. I’ve also lost any pool-playing skills I’ve ever had, if there were ever any. Sucks.
