ooooh, i got my Amex bill today. i spent so much, they upped my limit. actually, compared to most people, i don't think i spent all that much but it's a lot to me. i am therefore grounding myself (didn't i already do this in another entry?). i am not allowed to buy anymore frivolous or unnecessary things until i've paid off the balance on my Amex. you heard me!
shit, i still have to buy a wedding present. sigh.
on a high note, my bellyaching paid off. i got called in to my administrator's office today and when i was off yesterday, a whole whack of meetings went on between various parties and i was informed today that my duties as a secretary will be limited to two days a week and my paralegal duties will be upped to three days a week. they will be hiring a secretary to come in on my paralegal days so she can do my secretarial stuff. she won't be my secretary, but she'll be working with me. awesome! i will now be able to bill without feeling guilty about it. i've billed a couple of things already but i tend not to, just because i get help with stuff sometimes so it's not really me doing the "thinking" part of the work. they are also taking away a lawyer from me, which i'm a bit sad about but i can't handle all three. it's ironic because he's the only one that really treats me like a paralegal - he'll give me overview instructions on something and just let me run with it. i'll miss the type of work he does - IP, bankruptcy (not so much) and estates. but, i had to sacrifice something.
A asked me if i was still thinking about law school. i told her it was on the backburner but at the moment, i'm so sick of school. i just want to come home and do nothing. although at the moment, i am doing some review of my insurance notes. not that i really need to know too much about indemnity with the work i'm doing right now. maybe when they hire the new girl!
