Hurting

I know that the economy is severely in trouble, and that people don't have jobs like we once did. It sucks. Obama and Biden really have their jobs cut out for them, and I have to wonder if Bush and his cronies did everything they could to drive the economy further and further down in an attempt to make Obama look bad. It could possibly be a crazy conspiracy theory, but a theory nonetheless.

The firm I REALLY wanted to work at isn't hiring right now. Grumble. The firm that found my resume on a law group's website decided not to hire another associate after all because the hourly clients aren't paying and the contingencies aren't coming in like they once did. Ouch.

I'm really lucky to have the job I do, but my boss is trying to push me out of the nest so I can spread my attorney wings and fly. I'd be happy to! Know anyone who's hiring?

I'm meeting with my former college professor for lunch today. Hopefully he'll be able to kick some attorney work in my direction. But since I know times are tight for all of us, who knows? I'm just scared, and I know it's going to get worse before it gets better.
