Very badly insulted and threatened by client in front of court staff. Shrugged off.
I had known this man for barely a couple hours of my life. He basically wanted me to declare war on the entire system, re litigate his cases, etc. All of this would've probably been impossible even if he had all the money in the world, but of course he wanted this for free.... He also wanted court personnel, including prosecutors, investigated and jailed....
All in an afternoon it appears.
Moreover, I try to get people out... out ... of jail, not into jail....
The magistrate basically said after witnessing this from a good safe distance, "I don't care what anybody says, [my name] you're my hero. You're so calm...." [shakes head in disbelief as if questioning how I could possibly shrug this off without letting it get to me at all].
Now, I would never tell him this, but it's called growing up in an abusive home where this level of completely inappropriate behavior is nothing compared to what I am accustomed to....
I don't know what this guy possibly expected me to do in a single afternoon.
Well it's not like lawyers are actually people who need to do things like sleep and fill out paperwork.
Are there even any bright sides to being a lawyer?
That you're fighting for a good cause.
Also, allowable deduction of government tax @ yer income. Well, where I am anyway [unsure about other country's laws
]. Any person who has passed the board/bar exam (like doctors, lawyers, engineers...) and is a registered professional - practicing his/her own profession could deduct the fees incurred from their rent, fare, books used in pursuit of their profession, client meet...all if they have a receipt to prove it.
Also, lawyers are awesome people. If it helps, I really look up to them.
Like Truean. She's awesome. First read her posts - already inspired.
Braces, here I come T_T One row today, one row next week. Also pain. DX And tey take so long, too.
Its not
that bad, really
I've undertaken that process before. Pain = pressure//realignment of the teeth as your teeth are basically bone. They have nerves which help you feel it. The adage is true here when you say 'no pain, no gain!'
Also, in that timespan, you can contemplate on many things. Just saying what I do
My sad: Time. I've only a few more months until I'm getting into my course's hell year - almost nothing else doing but staring at the pages and inky words of a medical book.
Why didn't they at least introduce these things in high school or elementary :/ That was
a longer and easier time for my brain to soak it all up. Now I'm facing the rigorous ol' study these things about general medicine in ~4 or so months to get past these exams.
Also, venipuncture. I'm darn afraid of needles. The reactions of my partners when we undertake it also scares me as I don't like hurting people. Yeah, its a paradox, but my hands tremble uncontrollably no matter what I think or how I approach the situation when that needle nears the skin.
