Time's a ticking

Today I met my son Benny's 4th grade teacher. She seems nice - an older lady. I like the older, but not yet decrepid age group as opposed to the don't even have kids of my own because I am so young group. Could I be getting old? Me, old-fashioned?! I have a tattoo - I will be young and fly forever - no? It hit me the other day that I will never be that young again. No matter what I do there will be some chick younger than me within a 2 mile radius. My older friend informs me it is only downhill from here. Thank God we get wiser or I woudl really have nothing to look forwrad to. Even though, I have met plenty of people with years behind them that haven't seemed to learn anything at all from their past experiences. I am making a conscious decision to not be one of them.

Still waiting ....

Called the recruiter several times. She hadn't heard from the Admin who was looking to hire. She thinks my resume is too paralegalish and not admin enough. Disappointed but life goes on. Like Prof. Evans pointed out - "Things don't just happen - there are no coincidence sor accidents" I wholeheardetly believe this. Everything happens for a reason even if we don't know what the reason is today - it will become evident at some point in time.

Interview

OK so I put my resume out there in monster world - i posted to Monster.com

I met with a recruiter right away! I have an interview tomorrow. i am waiting to hear what time. mid-town would eb so great! and mor emoney too - I like the $$$$

Waiting ......

I hate cell phones and smart phones are stupid

I waited an researched and hemmed and hawed before plunking down 500 bucks for a smart phone. This is something rare for me being the impulse person I am. Although, have to mention that my impulsiveness has gotten much better now that I have to pay for most things myself :( In any event, I decided on the new at the time of purchase Palm Treo. I overhead another student in my speech class raving about it (you would have thought she worked for Palm the was she was talking!). So that was just the push in Palm's direction that I needed because for a few weeks it was Blackbery Pearl in the lead, then Palm Treo, then Blackberry and finally I said Fuck it and bought the treo. I hate it - I hate it so much that I am completely turned off to all cell phones. Oh, I was going to beam documents at the touch of a button and save the day in court. I even envisioned organizing and presenting our next PowerPoint presentation in Court all from my handy "smartphone". I would look so smart in a technical new age sort of way. Ok two problems - 1) no trial with none in sight and 2) I wouldn't spend enough time with my PDA to download a new contact, let alone a PPT presentation. If I had any doubts that my feelings for my phone and phone companies was pure contempt it was all reaffirmed yesterday when I spent a good part of my lunch hour - losing $$$ BTW- waiting in line to be told I have to send my falling apart and mangled for no apparent reason phone to the insurance company if I would like a new one. Oh yeah and there is a $50.00 deductible which I have never heard of before. I won't even comment. Last gripe - I decide the least i could do to try to get along with my phone is to but nice headphones so I can actually use one feature of my phone - p-Tunes. Apparently if u don't buy palm headphones you can only hear sound from one side and you can't us ethe hands free talk trhough the headset. So teh price is $29,99 - Ok I will go for it - the girl rings me up and says that is 37.89 with tax please. Verizon is special and charges special taxes, hence the almost 10.00 extra dollars. I declined and left the store. That explains why Verizon can afford to have 4 billion people following each customer around to ensure quality reception. You've seen the commercials right? I repeast, reiterate and reaffirm - I hate cell phones and smart phones are stupid.

Evidence that I am dazed and confused

First question on my clas review paper - can critical thinking be done in our sleep? I answered "True". I need to get my head out of my ass. Trying to keep up - not easy, but as Prof. Evans said and I truly believe - "If you want something bad enough, nothing, nothing will stand in your way"

OMG! Ok, so this is my journey to law school. One tiny step forward - critical thinking class hence this blog which is required by me. I am dazed and confused.
