Screaming Bean
Tuesday, September 30, 2008

So I took a week's vacation for the first time since April. I will suffer for doing this. Not only is my car in the shop getting door actuators repaired, but it seems that my work was put in some sort of perpetual loop while I was away and absolutely nothing was done with anything. So now I'm buried alive in work. Now when anyone else goes out on a vacation I'm expected to do all their work plus my own and not complain. When I do it? My work can be ignored.

I also had an interview yesterday for a firm that I interviewed for back in July. To say that was awkward doesn't begin to describe the 20 minutes I spent. All the standard questions were already answered, the other person in the room had not seen my resume prior to me handing it over the desk, and had absolutely no idea who I was or why I was there. How many times do I have to say, "I have no experience doing litigation" before it sinks in? I'm not going to lie about it...I don't have experience doing litigation. This is not to say I can't learn it, but it's not like I'm going to wake up one morning with the knowledge to do detailed litigation magically in my brain. Kicker? Upon further research by me after the interview, the person who interviewed me has only been there a year, was admitted the same time I was, and I'm going to be considered junior? Yeah, the offer is probably not forthcoming on this one.
