Work, Damnit!

I love America's Next Top Model. I haven't seen a single show this season. I work so much that I am rarely home during daylight hours. Any daylight hours. The price of success? Don't know. Success hasn't come yet, but I hope it will and will soon! I need it to pay off. Literally.

I recently set a goal, which I believe to be attainable, of being approved by the Court at $400 an hour by the time I'm 35. This means I need to start trying and winning some cases, and first chairing some, too. If I don't do that, I won't reach that goal. If I do, I can reach that goal without question.

But "Work, damnit!" is one of the favorite phrases of one of the "characters" on the "reality" show I previously mentioned. It's kind of a strut, an attitude, a mindset. While I'd like a break, I just can't seem to find the ability to take one. I don't even have the ability to juggle the three people I'm working for right now - two firms and myself. If I can just settle this one case I'm taking to mediation on Tuesday, I can stop working for one of these other firms and then only have two jobs. Hopefully, the remaining firm will want to hire me as a full time attorney and then I'll only have one job. I'd be more than happy to only work 55 hours a week. That would be like a freaking luxury.

So, I'm off to...well...Work, Damnit! Or, as my other favorite "reality" show saying goes - "Make it work!"
