Work satisfaction makes me a much easier person to live with

I am so happy at work lately. I am so grateful for the folks that I work with and the interesting stuff I've gotten to do.  I am constantly amused by the pleadings and arguments that I read. I am even more amused when I can rebut seemingly solid looking arguments after just a cursory review of the relevant case law. I am excited that I have gotten back to this place again. I really really hope it continues into the fall, when I start the "F**k you Lucy" job.

I am jealous of the way Cee and Namby can write about work with so much humor without revealing any confidences.  For a while I thought it was just me -- that I couldn't write those stories because I wasn't witty enough or because I wasn't observant enough.  But I have discovered that its not true.* It is the nature of the work that I do, and not me, that keeps my tales of hilarity from making it here on the blog.  Because I do have tales of hilarity, but they are only attractive to the geekiest of law nerds.  Because I rarely go to court -- I spend my time in a law library researching and writing.  So to be able to share my tales of geeky hilarity would require more details of the substantive work that I do than I can divulge without running afoul of my ethical obligations.  Too bad.  There are law geeks who would love the one about the lawyer, the blogger, and the malpractice suit....

*Ok, it may actually be true that I am not as witty or observant as Cee and Namby. But the point is, its not the only reason my posts about work club kinda suck.
