Open Tables at the Law Library

Around finals time there is a shortage of open tables in the law library (not really surprising). Both yesterday and today I was able to go into the library and acquire a table without even spitting on anyone. I'm not sure if that means that I am extremely lucky or that I smell or that people aren't studying as much as they have in the past. I'm hoping for the 3rd possibility because that'll increase my chances of not getting any of the C's.

My work has two offices; one in downtown and one in the burbs and if you were to draw a line between the two, I live at the 3rd point that makes the whole thing an equilateral triangle. Today I had to drive into the city, only to find out that my boss wanted me to work in the burbs. I was annoyed at the waste of gas and the fact that I'm not getting reimbursed for mileage. Maybe one day they'll actually give me my summer work schedule. Slackers!

I don't really work in a legal setting. Well, I don't work with any lawyers. People come into our office and we help them fill out legal forms. Today we had a guy come in. I helped him fill out his forms and he was on his way. 20 minutes later, his adversaries came in. I couldn't help them because of my conflict of interest, but I felt weird even being in the same room while my colleague helped them. I got to see professional responsibility issues first hand and I have to say that the inherent conflict did make my stomach a bit queasy. See, different lawyers in the same firm couldn't have helped adversaries, but because we aren't lawyers, we could. I'm not sure that's really the best policy though, at least for my work.

On a side note, someone called my boyfriend both gay and my husband in the same sentence. I was amused, and grateful that he is neither.
