Awww! Dexter!!
I am freaking out about how much homework I have to do. There is no escaping it, so I'm allowing myself short little jaunts of LoT time in between... um... assignments that are shorter, and everytime I feel like I got somewhere... OH damn.... I just feel guilty now.

It is a very good thing that I DIDN'T hop back on the LoT after my last excursion...

The Vet called about Dexter's bloodwork. He's a perfectly healthy 9 year old boy......except for some dental issues.
So, he will get his teeth cleaned when we get back from Coachella. Then maybe he won't have stinky breath. Stinky cat breath is not as cute as it should be. But, after his steroid and antibiotic shots yesterday, he's feeling much better already. Good boy! |

Well, the best part is, it's over! I'm totally done with that class! Yay! I felt like a complete goober. However, the "judges" were very nice. They did what they were supposed to do, and pointed out one or two things for us to work on, and then gave compliments. I'm sure they could have given us more things to work on, but the theory is that they're not supposed to totally crush us. However, that doesn't always happen, and some panels have at least one major jerk. This one was basically all good, though. The funniest thing is that all three said something about me being "poised." One said I had "presence," was "polished," and that if I was thrown by anything my face didn't show it. Another said I appeared fairly poised and comfortable with my material, and that I didn't have any distracting mannerisms. I was praised for my speed and manner of delivery. This is a totally new development. Usually I look like a scared bunny about to flee, talk waaaaaay too fast, and telegraph everything I feel via inadvertant facial expression. Lack of poise and polish, not to mention visible lack of confidence, have consistently been my weaknesses throughout speech, debate, etc... I suppose they're useful skills for an attorney to have, and perhaps some of ones it's less easy to teach/learn, but I am just totally shocked that I picked them up somewhere. I suppose I should stop doubting myself and accept that this is yet another sign that I'm headed in the right direction (professionally). This is unlikely to happen, of course. But, again -- it's over! Yay!

Today marked the end of my 3rd week of work. After the firing and layoffs yesterday I felt a bit shakey today. My paranoia was totally unfounded. My boss is happy with the way I have been taking care of the front office. She likes that she can come to me with a problem/puzzle and that I can quickly come up with the resolution. She also likes that I can remember seeing different company names and immediatly come up with the matching file. Most of the vendors that have called are now calling for me, using my extension and enoying that not only am I able to help them, but also know what they are calling about. I am still having my normal work week sleeping issues, but no where near like I had at SBC, my work does not haunt my dreams.
The people who know me laugh when they ask what I like most about my new job and my reply is that I can go to the bathroom whenever I want. |

So....Earlier this week at work we got some HR publication that included among the other usual stuff, a page on "acceptable" work attire. As iread down the do's and don't's I realized that while there were the usual generic admonishions about wearing "message" shirts - nearly half specificly addressed female attire. No mini-skirts, no plunging neck lines, etc.
Clearly boobs and legs should be excluded from the workplace, but I wonder why there where similar admonisions about tight pants and package display. I guess, a nice ass doesn't distract the office as much as clevage does? Or is it important to mask the femaleness of the work environment?
