The Silver Lining

So, apparently I got what I wanted. I was miffed before that we didn’t have enough work, then came the financial meltdown, and now there’s plenty of work — considered good or bad news, depending on who you ask.

I don’t know if there’s something morally wrong with being glad there’s an economic crisis going on (my conscience says yes), but I have to say that it’s been a lot of fun — some would say stressful — doing and seeing some pretty interesting legal work as far as banking law goes. I also got sent on a day-trip to Bermuda, where I went to a historical museum and ate lunch at the Lobster Pot & Boat Bar, which was delicious. I had a mango and grilled chicken salad and lemon sorbet for dessert. Yum.

On a further upside, now that I’ve gotten plenty of overtime, I can finally pay my bills and put some cash toward my nice, new coat fund. w00t. (Again, my conscience would like to voice its disapproval.) So, things are going well, then, except it’s getting difficult to find time to do laundry.

On a random note, I found out recently one of the lawyers I work for who sits across the hall from me is an ex-Wheelie, and he was also sales manager at the Wheel back in the day. Color me amused.
