Performance anxiety is a bitch.

Pretty much yeah.

So I decided to help this new lawyer deal with a problem client of his, because he's newer than I am and still not crazy. He'll get there, trust me.

So we're in the jail and I step outside the cell for just a second while he tries to talk to his client. Other people can see and hear it all and new guy makes sure to tell client this. Said client just straight up whips it out and furiously starts going to town on himself. The new lawyer just doesn't know what to make of this and just starts sorta making his way outta that cell, trying to get my attention, 'cause he doesn't know what to do.

I take one look at his jackass client right in the middle of it and just say one thing:

"EH! Is that all you're good for?!"

Dunno how it feels to have the entire cell block laugh uncontrollable at you in the middle of it, but he does. And that's why I just don't give a shit when they talk about budget cuts and don't know if I wanna do this crap anymore. It's all I can do to not laugh uncontrollably when somebody asks me why I wouldn't wanna be a lawyer anymore when applying for a job.

Yes, this new lawyer is buying me a pizza, and I earned it.

Is "it" what I am thinking of?

[Truean]

... I hate my job so much.    Do not go to law school.

[Frumple]

S'pretty obvious it's what you're thinking it is, Obj. And yeah, True, if it makes you feel any better you're pretty much the reason I've firmly rebuffed every attempt by family to get me into the law business. Not touching with six foot pole.

[SalmonGod]

On a different note:  goddamn Truean, I haven't seen you post in forever.  It's nice to see you again... in whatever abstract sense reading a post from you on a forum can constitute "seeing" you

*glances at post history*... but it looks like you've been back for a couple weeks, and I've just been missing it.  I've been far less active over the past year, myself, but still here.

[Truean]

[hugs] I missed you too salmon.

[SalmonGod]

[hugs] I missed you too salmon.

*hugs*!!!

Not much else to say.  Looks like we're both still plugging away day to day at crappy jobs and that's life as always.  Mine's been getting better, though.  Doesn't look like yours has.  I seriously look forward to the day you announce you've found something better.

The only wrong ways to eat cereal involve catheters. You're fine.

[Worldmaster27]

So, I was eating some cereal as a night snack.
It was lucky charms. And I have this habit of eating all the brown little things before eating marshmallows, so I can have the last few spoonfuls be nothing but marshmallow.
Dad noticed me looking inside my cup as I ate.
"Stop looking at that and look at the movie. You know, I don't like what you're doing. Nobody looks at their food while they eat. That kind of thing tells me something's wrong with your mind."

I... What?
Sincerely, what?
So, you're telling me because I don't eat cereal the right way I have some sort of mental problem?

If you've told him about Bay12, he was already inclined to think you had a mental disorder.

I also look into my cereal when I eat it. You're not the only one!

I gaze into its milky depths, searching the wheat and sugar for the meanings I can never find.

[Eric Blank]

Gotta keep an eye out for mummified cockroaches. Or hideously deformed cereal bits which resemble cockroaches.

[Frumple]

Meanings you can never find and bugs.

I don't know about the rest of you, but it took me one bite into something I really rather wouldn't have to start paying attention to wtf I was putting in my mouth before putting it in. People who don't look at their food are asking to become unintentional insectivores.

As I was ninja'd, yes.

[BlackFlyme]

I always look at my food when I eat. Mostly because there isn't really anything else to look at at the table.

That and it keeps me from looking at the people I'm eating with, since I'm disgusting when I eat.

[MaximumZero]

I gaze into its milky depths, searching the wheat and sugar for the meanings I can never find.

It's like tea leaf divination, but with cartoon leprechauns.
