I am so knackered right about now, I haven't wanted a week to end as fast as I want this one to. Most of all, to lead to payroll Friday.

I went to court with one of our attorneys today for the experience ride. I was surprised to find that there were quite a few paralegals that come to court representing creditors, interrogating their debtors. Now, why didn't I get that gig? Maybe I wouldn't have liked it, but it feels a bit useful. The attorney was introducing me as her legal assistant. that was soo annoying. That legal assistant term is old. Mostly used for secretaries that do not have any legal knowledge whatsoever and spend their days typing up some other person's legal ideas or research. And she of all people knows I went to Law school, a legal assistant feels like some kind of aid as opposed to a scholar which I think I am.

Moving on, when you are so broke that's when adhoc expenditures come up. For example, my sister's baby shower is coming up this Saturday, this is the payroll Saturday before I move in, so I need to keep that money for my movers and food stuffs to stock my empty stockroom. If I don't give her something I know my sister she'll think it's personal. But her having this baby shower is pre-empting so many things for me, as opposed to 2 months from now when the baby would be finally born and I would be a little more financially stable to get her what I want.

Then, Father's day is this Sunday, and of course I have been having these cravings to eat out when I know more than ever that I cannot afford it. Yesterday, it was McDonalds, today it's a beer.
