Yes, I know, I know! If I still have readers, which after what, 8+ weeks I shouldn’t expect? Apart from the fact that I’ve been employed by the boss from Hell. I mean, guy still is batting off the fresh brimstone when he arrives every morning. What am I meant to do about this?

For the first thing, I have been in this business for 28 years and have always HAD a secretary not BEEN a secretary. That alone should be disquieting enough, right? Except also that this guy is undercutting me by like $25K per annum in pay, and believe me, he ought to be giving me combat pay instead.

This economy puts you to serious issues. On the one hand, I’m glad he’s not trying to undercut me by $35K, which believe me people are anxious to do; I’ve been looking for 10 months. On the other, I ache to call him on the carpet and read him the riot act. Either way, it’s 2:30 a.m. and I’m wide awake, thinking. Mamas and daddies, persuade your kids out of the legal profession, okay? It is no longer an Honorable Profession. It’s no fit place for civilized people. Just ask my husband.

Anyway. I promise to post something interesting just as soon as something happens in my life apart from batshit boss, endless laundry or Oh my God, what did Boolie spill on the Pergo this time? Meanwhile, read The Thirty Mile Zone if you want excitement. They always have the latest Michael Jackson death aftermath news, which is good schadenfreude if nothing else.
