Pondering

I was thinking of taking my last post done moments after I wrote it because I felt like such a crappy mother... but once I got your comments I wanted to leave it up! Sleeping has been much better again lately and we're back to easy bedtimes, for which I am much relieved. I really hope we can avoid another cold for a few weeks though - I am really sick of being sick.

So, career. I've been thinking lately that I really like litigation, want to do it, blah blah blah. But it's funny how one silly experience can kind of taint your whole view. I'm managing a little matter right now and had to call opposing counsel a few days ago. The man was just so unbearably rude. He yelled at me, and was very belittling. I just can't stand that. Can't you vigourously defend your client while maintaining some professional courtesy? It's just so unnecessary. I had the sense that the bar was more cordial than that, but if that's a common experience I'm not sure litigation is the way for me.

For some reason it's lingering with me, even though there's really no reason it should stress me out now. I hate taking my work home with me - I wish when I was with LM I could just focus completely on him instead of worrying about some inconsequential person. I don't know - does it help to be like that? Maybe it does. Maybe those tactics intimidate enough people off that they drop their suits. Anyway, all things to ponder.

On to brighter things - it's very hard to get a good picture of LM recently because he's always lunging for the camera, but here's a picture of my little peach - he's looking rather tired because he was still sick, but starting to get over it.
