Two weeks later

It's sad to say that there has not been anything really interesting to report. Two Weeks later, and it's more of the same problems pronounced and a few additinals have ocme to stay.

Work got to an unbearable pitch, right after my car got bashed in by a dumb cart at shoddy Target. Target, being the irresponsible retailer that they are, have completely denied liability. But I shall fight them, even if it means opening up a blog dedicated to defaming their red and white sloppy image.

Then, work. I don't even know where to begin without giving away the names and characters of the non-fictitious people in my life, that make it so unbearable. All I can say right now, this is the one place where people are frowned at for showing initiative. And I was rebuked for showing initiative, and asked 'kindly' to be the paralegal who sits there and looks pretty. Don't express much, don't do much, just answer the phone, type as accurately as you can, and don't ask or bother to help the clients. WE, the attorneys, are here to help. It is not your place to help them.

Every which way I look at it, it sucks. It sucks because I was hoping this was it. I was hoping I could just settle in here for the next couple of years, work on my Master's Degree, use the flexibility of the hours to study, get some work stability into that resume, and just chill. I still can. But I have such a strong personality in everything mostly my work, that this seems like such a cop-out. Like I went to school for 6 years (and then some more) just to sit there and look pretty. Two years from now, even with the job stability in my resume, I won't have any notable skill of use to market myself. Then, what was the point.

They say events in life get clouded up for some reason, all for the greater good. I don't believe it. I want to believe it, but I often fail to see why. I more than often fail to understand why. There is no greater good, it's just frustrations that befall you, especially when you don't need them. Pure and simple.
