This weekend Simon came to visit! I have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time. He is the sweetest dog in the doggone world. Yesterday, I had my cousin Diane's bridal shower to go to but then afterward when I came home to Ryan (who had been doing the dog-sitting all day) and Simon (who was being sat) we went to Pet Co. and got Simon some new toys! He really had a blast.
And now he's wandering around the apartment looking for tissues to eat and I'm doing work on the couch.
I'm only interested in being subtly famous. Possibly a cult icon but nothing more than that.

A List
1) I hate my job
2) It makes me feel like life is a sad worthless miserable experience
3) There are large roaches at work
4) Plus mice
5) I really really hate my job
6) I would have to pass the year by thinking up things I would rather do

It might get easier
I'm guessing this might get easier when I start to understand the law better in the particular subject areas and also when I start to care a little less.
For now, I'm doing work all weekend.

Getting Used to Life
This working thing is really a drag. I mean, law school was annoying, but this ... THIS ... waking up at 630 getting to work by 740 working all day getting home at 7 doing work at home or at least thinking about it ....
At least Medium and Arrested Development have their season premiere Monday night.

Busiest Lazy Person or Laziest Busy Person That is the Question
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH WORK?
Work is pretty busy. I am about as busy at work as I would have been at any other job which is fine except that I know that I'm getting off easy right now. My judge is on vacation so I have the luxury of doing SOME work and then cleaning another drawer in my desk and then answering some phone calls and then taking an hour for lunch and then finally being able to go home between 4:30 and 5:00. And I feel angry and stressed that work is only going to get more time consuming. Although, it DOES mean I don't have to sit on the parkway during rush hour.
COMMUTING ADVENTURES
Yesterday's: Route 1 & 9 to McCarter Highway to (some streets in between including Broad) Bloomfield Avenue to something that gets me to Grove = 45 MINUTES
Today's commuting adventure from Elizabeth to Upper Montclair: North Broad to Elizabeth Avenue to Chancellor to Grove (picture below in one of the Oranges on Grove and S Orange Avenue) to North Grove to Grove to Watchung (with a few wrong turns) = 1 HOUR
STAY TUNED FOR MORE COMMUTING ADVENTURES BY A GIRL WHO REFUSES TO STAND STILL ON THE PARKWAY NORTH!

Spamoconos
The spam I've been getting is in the comments left after blog postings. You can tell when I've gotten some because I erase the posting but it still appears as having been deleted. They aren't really interesting - just crap like "I like your blog. You should look at www.cheapmovingvans.com to find out more about cooking asparagus."
This weekend we went to the Poconos again at a place called Hemlock Farms. It is an okay area although the entire community is very contained like a bizarre self-run town that has security gates and is all fenced off enclosing starving deer who munch on low grass along the side of the road without budging when a car drives by and rafters of wild turkeys digging through people's trash. (For more on group names for birds try this.)
The best part of the weekend (aside from playing tennis and spending time with my family) is exploring all the towns. My new favorite town where I really want to move is Honesdale, PA. I love it. The houses are just breath taking, the landscape is like a dream, and the town is a fabulous mix of eclectic/new-agey/old-mining-town. And it is also the locations of the Himalayan Institute which is a meditation and yoga center.

Dr. Snoozlebutt Doesn't Work at the Courthouse
The title refers to the suspicion that I have that this job is going to be even more draining on my creativity than law school was. Right now it is all discovery end dates, mouse droppings, and 40+ minute commuting.
I cleaned my office for almost an hour today because I found mouse poopies all over my desk. Is that freakin' gross or what? I don't think that desk was ever cleaned. Who could work there like that? Not me. I have 2 types of lysol to disinfect.
