[Prudence]

So, I had an interview today. First one since September, so it was nice to have the experience. But, it was weird. It was uphill the whole way. First, they didn't think I'd be able to handle the small town, being a girl from the big city and all. Then, they didn't think I'd be able to handle being essentially a ghost writer, while the trial attorneys got all the public credit. Then, they didn't think I'd be able to help defend scumbags.

Basically I was defending myself the whole time, but I tried to be as pleasant as I could. I don't know whether there was actually incredulity that I would apply for the position (in which case, why interview me?), or whether this was a calculated approach to see how I handled myself, or whether they've been on the receiving end of this so often in court from the judge or cross-examined so many witnesses, that it was just an automatic sort of response.

Anyway, we'll see what happens. It would be right away, I think, and in Del Rio, Texas. I'm not sure how I feel about the location, but the job itself would be excellent experience and a solid step on the path of my 10-year goal. But, I'm not going to hold my breath.

I am, however, going to keep using that cover letter template.
