Working Girl

Beginning in April, I will be working for Backlund and Mistry, Attorneys at Law, as a legal assistant. Lots of paperwork and office stuff, but Manek (Manek Mistry) and Jodi (Jodi Backlund) are so nice! I start at 30 hours a week, $13/hr. It's not a ton of money, but this isn't a permanent career, and I'll be getting paid vacation and sick leave, and possibly health insurance if they can swing it. They also really want to give me more hours and more pay, so hopefully I'd be getting a pay raise and/or an increase of hours after a couple of months. Until graduation I'll be training and working part time for them when my school schedule permits it. Guess I'll have to stop being lazy!

I'm really excited and really nervous about starting the job, but I have a couple of weeks to get used to the idea as they're going on a two-week vacation.

I've been feeling really crappy lately and I can't seem to get over it. Really nervous, too, so I didn't get my paper turned in today for my thesis. Ugh. I need to start keeping up with things, especially if I'm going to be working this job soon. Scary!
