: A Public Defender's Life in Alaska

ADVERTISEMENTS

So, oh my Holy God! My damned Green Card is in my wallet. It really is true: life improves slowly (and collapses in an instant). My return home to Alaska is now partially complete. Now it is just about money. God know I am trying. I have three full time jobs right now. No kidding. I am working at least 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and still feel frantic. I am still responsible for the majority of this firm's income right now. Over 20 people depend on me every two weeks. I am positioning myself to be 'Alaska's Pot Attorney". And not to mention, we are putting wwww.therushison.com in March. That is a HUGE project.

Otherwise things are fine. The kids are doing well. I am growing older (and fatter from lack of activity by the day) but I keep thinking that things are really about to change. After two years, I still miss Alaska so badly. I miss being active. I miss owning a house. I don't know how much longer I can work this hard just to sink every penny into the business. Oh, I know that is part of it. I get it. But the time also comes when a man realizes that every moment spent at his desk is moment gone forever. I am incredibly lucky to have such great people around me and so much potential. But dammit, I just need something to break loose.
