When people say my life is working out personally and professionally I always wonder how much of the chips/stars/elements have to be aligned for you to say that. The other day, I overheard one of my co-workers mention it in a phone call with someone who casually inquired, "So how are you doing?" with which she responded, "I am doing well, very well. Things are going great personally and professionally."
I just gasped. How immersed in life's comforts do I have to be to make that type of astounding admission. I don't know. I don't appreciate life enough to make that now, or have ever been. Because both of them are just total opposites of each other; like they bounce off each other - the personal conflicting with the professional life constantly. Most people that are set professionally really don't have that much going on in their private lives. They inevitably have to sacrifice their private life for a professional one. And vice versa.
So how am I? I am still reeling over not going to The Hague (though no member of my family thinks it's a big deal). And I am considering not registering for the Bar. Most importantly, I am still single. I am 33 ½ and still single.
So what gives, personally or professionally?
