Screaming Bean
Wednesday, December 05, 2007

The deep breathing isn't working, and I'm seeing spots, so I'm hoping there's something cathartic about blogging.

I have a good memory. Strike that...I have an excellent memory. I remember whole conversations in detail. To commit these amounts of detail to memory require me to pay close attention. I don't normally take notes. To take notes causes me to split my attention and I miss things. I only write down names of people and an occasional number. This drives my boss insane. My boss can't possibly understand how someone can sit across the desk and not write down a word, yet remember all the details of what it was that they just said. There's been words exchanged regarding this. More than twice. I was just told yet again in an email about my shortcomings as an attorney because I don't transcribe conversations between myself and my boss. I had done nothing wrong. We had never discussed one particular detail that I had questioned, and somehow this led to an opening to hammer me for a quirk of personality. Somehow me being able to write down everything that comes out of their mouth will make me a better attorney. How about instead I actually get to practice law instead? I don't think it's too much to ask. I'm tired of being a secretary and taking dictation, thanks.
