Workation

I'm back from my Vegas conference. It's a long drive.

The conference was good, and I'm hopeful that the materials are going to be useful. I also hope I made some good contacts there. Nothing would make me happier than to have made a job out of this outing.

I'm just really tired right now.

This week, I've got a summary judgment motion I'm writing and a closing argument brief that I think I'm writing but we may be collaborating on. I believe that I'm doing the facts on that one and my co-counsel is doing the law, but that's not due first, so it's not highest on the list.

I could really just spend the rest of my life as a lotto winner, being stress-less and carefree. My only worry would be where to spend my days volunteering and how to decide where my money could do the most good.

On another note, I'm wondering whether or not I want to call the boy. Call, text, email...somehow contact. I'm wondering if I got caught up, he got caught up, and we could just kind of start over. On the other hand, I'm wondering if I'm insane or something because he did send me an email in which he kind of said something that I didn't appreciate. (If you want details, just ask.)

And then the on again, off again girlfriend of a friend of mine called me today and asked me "woman-to-woman" what the deal was with this guy. Umm... I thought they had broken up. If I were friends with this woman (she and I are only acquaintances), I would be shouting that she could do way better, that he's scum, and that he's a cheating, no good son of a bitch. Since he's the one that's my friend, but I firmly believe in the sisterhood, I told her that she should probably listen to her instincts about whether or not he was cheating. I also did tell her she could do better. She then proceeded to tell me some really private information about him. Granted, I already knew this private information to some extent, but I didn't know the full extent and I don't think it was appropriate that she told me.

I guess why I'm telling you all this now is that I didn't really get to "vacation" at any point while I was in Vegas. I was either in conference or meeting with people and trying like hell to market myself for jobs, and then today when I tried to relax and gamble, I couldn't drink because I was going to make the long drive home AND I got called by one client and this aforementioned acquaintance.

At least I don't have to set my alarm for tomorrow morning. But, yes, I have to work a lot.

So does anyone have any suggestions on whether or not I should call, email, or text this boy? My idea was to just text him and suggest we meet up for a movie this weekend. Thoughts?
