Bad Mood
I am in a bad mood. In no particular order, the reasons for my bad mood are as follows:1) My docket for Friday SUCKS. As in is the worst one I've ever had. My judge has already told me to "pack a lunch" because it is going to be "one heck of a Friday!" The weird part was he sounded giddy about it.
2) Next week we have an all law clerk meeting where I was told by my judge we will be getting into trouble.
3) My judge griped at me for not flagging a privacy addendum. Out of 85 orders to sign, I missed one. Sheesh.
4) Remember my good friend Charlotte? Who fell hard and fast for a supposedly fabulous guy? Just last week, he played the "I am not ready for this, It is not you, it's me, I just can't committ" card, effectively breaking her heart and potentially disrupting her career, because the two work in a ten person office. Bastard.
4) My eye infection is back. And more painful than ever. I received the all clear to wear my contacts, but my eyes revolted and I am back to the four eye look.
5) I am not looking forward to a holiday season by my lonesome. And have absolutely no prospects.
6) Speaking of prospects, I just spoke with a former classmate of mine about a job prospect that is no longer as promising as originally hoped.
7) Conversation I had with my mother over Thanksgiving:
Mom while frowning disapprovingly at the ends of my hair: "Oh, looks like you need a haircut! Do you want to get one while you are home?"
Me: "Just got one two days ago."
Mom, stammering slightly: "Oops! Well, it looks GREAT!"
8) It has been almost a year since TH dumped me and my stomach still flipped 85 times this morning when I drove by his house. Calm down, it is on my way to work.
9) I had to go to four separate windows at the Arlington County Offices this morning to receive a decal to prove I paid my car taxes. Apparently, one person verifies that you paid the money, another person charges you $10 for the lost decal, a third person takes your $10, and finally, someone gives you a new decal.
10) I am broke. And right around the holidays. How I am supposed to engage in retail therapy when I have no funds?
All of the above are slightly, but not really, balanced out by Wake Forest's victory over Maryland on Saturday night. ACC Championship Game, here we come!!

11) My former co-workers keep calling and emailing me with inane procedural questions when I really have much better things to do with my time.
Keep your chin up Jersey - you're a great gal and a real smartie pants, I have no doubt that you will rock the docket and find a way to enjoy the holidays, with or without retail therapy. Or, you can always throw yourself at the mercy of the court if you get caught shop-lifting ;)
