Er- haha, I might need to clarify – it’s not my shoddy work (I hope) – for some reason my bosses are crazy. Apparently its only real if I tell them something twice. Four times has been my max thus far.

Gemma, that would be so mortifying. But – actually, you’re not that far off. For my clerking job- an attorney will ask me to find something for them. I’ll rush out and complete the task, leave it with them – and then I’m dashing off to my next job/a class, etc. I’ll come back the next time, ask them if what I gave them is ok. Inevitably, its “no.” They want something more/else. So, after another week and hours later, I go back to them, with the exact same information/telling them the exact same thing. At least my fourth and fifth graders listen to me when I tell them something. (Unless its to be quiet!)

Wow Stacy. Free weekends. Sounds fantastic.
JSL: Do you ever get confused when talking to the lawyers and eighth graders? And get them mixed up? I can see some really potentially funny scenes with that one.

Hi Gemma- that sounds like fun – and a lot of work! I have 2-3 jobs right now (is it a job if you aren’t getting paid?) – and I’m a full time law student, so my days always make me feel a little crazy. My first job is a clerk for a small firm – not bad, but with 5 bosses all lawyers, that in and of itself gets a little crazy. My other job, is teaching 4th-5th graders essentially Supreme Court cases. I try to mix it up some, but there’s only so much you can do with the bill of rights and 9 year olds. My third, is unpaid – and a clerkship with a common pleas judge – this one is more fun because I get to observe trials – but then write judicial orders. Ack. I can’t wait until I graduate… and get to work 80 hour weeks. That is if I can find a job. *cries* Haha.

I used to have a second job until about a year ago. Now I work as a loan officer, but I used to be a teller, and my p/t job was at Barnes & Noble, in the cafe. I enjoyed it, but was around people way too much LOL. I am more introverted and need my alone time. I lasted there about 5 years, and now I love having weekends free for me.
