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.<\/p>\n<p>Well, i&#8217;m talking about work right now because tonight i just went to a &#8220;gathering&#8221; of attorney&#8217;s at a bar that also happened to have a pool table.<\/p>\n<p>I need to work on my pool game btw.  I&#8217;ve become embarrasing.  The table was embarrasing, but i made way to many rookie mistakes.  anyway, back to the night as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Mary came with me, so it was really kewl.  I did in fact drink, to bypass any potential questions that could cause problems.  I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>I had a drink.  The night was very festive and exciting.  I&#8217;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.  <\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>I was a little concerned about being new.  I&#8217;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&#8217;d be paralegal number 1.  The funny thing is, he doesn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s treated me with serious respect.  Until i scratched on the eight ball.  <\/p>\n<p>Did i mention my pool skillz need help.  Honestly i was doing well, but then i fucked up.  Pisses me off.<\/p>\n<p>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.  <\/p>\n<p>I also saw Stacy, one of my bosses smashed.  OH my god.  she was sooo fucking smashed.<\/p>\n<p>It was hilarious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which is sad really.
