Shit Start, Great Middle, Fantastic End.

2007 started badly.

I'd say around an 7 or 8. Not too bad at all.

That's hard to quantify.....had a lot of low points, some very low. Had a few very high points. Ummm, I'd say a 4 with spikes of 10 here and there.

2007 is starting out really bad, I'm dreading a few things this year.

So that would be a six, right?

Jackass.

it was fucked up in the beginning but it turned into a 9 in the end for me. it just gets better and better.

8. Some important and positive things happened. It was good, 'cause 2005 was maybe a 2 at best. Good to be on an upswing.

Didn't know you were being laid off. Do you know where you want to go next?

I'm hoping for a civil law firm in San Francisco. My friend hasn't gotten back to me. Hopefully soon. Today is my last day here. It sucks.

You must have a strong CV by now, you're competent, experienced, you have a pleasant personality and people skills... I'm sure you'll get hired in no time.

The thing is my forte is Criminal Law. I will be heading into uncharted waters. I'm scared, hold me!!!

I really wish I could stay where I am right now. I love my job. I hate to say it but my intern is going to freak when she realizes how much time I spend on the org.....er....um.....I mean how many things I juggle from day to day.

Don't worry, to go from criminal law to civil law must be like going from lion-taming to catsitting. You'll be practically overqualified.

retina said:

Thank you so much Retina. It really means a lot. I've been worried.
At least there's less probability of someone showing me their testicles in a civil law office. My clients wont come in drunk stating things like "The first thing I have to say.....is.....I'm an alcoholic." As she hikes up her underwear and takes a seat. Nah, that wont happen in a civil law office.

Good luck, honey. Keep us updated.

You could move to Chicago and be my house husband.

My last 7 yrs have been NUTTS. Is that happens when you grow up and move out of your parents?

Hopefully this year will be less crazy.

Overall I give the year an 8.

SureThing said:

So it was crazy in a good way then?

retina said:

Good and bad ways. But the bad craziness had a good outcome. The year ended well.

I just hope this year I can relax and not have any major events happen.

Maybe a 6.5....2006 was an odd, transitional, awkward sort of year. A lot of peaks of valleys and growing pains.I have hope for 2007 though.

For real.

Aw. Just think, it can only go uphill from here.

SureThing said:

Got to admit its getting better. Its getting better...all the time.

I'd have to give it a 4 or a 5 I was completely in a manic state the entire year ... it wasn't pretty and not a great feeling, I'm not letting ANYTHING get me to such raging degree of extremes again.
