Whew! I feel like I've left most of y'all in a lurch, and for that, I'm really sorry! This week has been absolutely insane, so I haven't had the chance to do much of... well, anything but those things that were then on my plate. First, I got a new job! My last day at my old firm was Wednesday. It was actually a very lovely day with wrapping up work, having pizza with my coworkers, and … [Read more...]
A week of updates!
18 July 2011 By 13 Comments

I only started … [Read more...]

18 March 2011 By Leave a Comment
Let's just call a spade a spade, mmm-kay?Who knew a bit of mail would be so nerve-wracking?Since I started my Legal Studies A.S., I've wanted to take and pass the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) Certified Legal Assistant/Paralegal (CLA/CP) exam. What can I say, I'm a masochist. I had planned to take it just before graduating -- you need a certain number of education credits and … [Read more...]
