Come to the Dark Side, We get to Rant

[muranoblue]

About a year and half ago, I made a career change. I've been working as insurance/asbestos defense paralegal for more than 12 years. I was unemployed and really tired of commuting in the SF bay area. So when a local plaintiff's firm advertised for a paralegal, I applied thinking it was a long shot. Much to my surprise, I got an interview, which went really well. And I got the job (and 4.5 mile commute, WOOOT!)

I've never done plaintiff work before. I've never worked in a politically active firm before. It's highly entertaining. They are louder and more boisterous than any place I've ever worked. And today, that-idiot-Akin caused 2 of the senior partners to stand in the hallways ranting and raving about Republican fundamentalist MORONS. It did my heart good to hear two 60+ men spend 20 minutes talking loudly, swearing and waving their arms, about how important science and women's right are.

Thank you very much for sharing!

(Did I know that you also lived somewhere around the Bay? Did you know that I do? Details not for public, o' course, but, still...)

Waves! Hi neighbor. I was not aware you were in the vicinity and I doubt you would have known I was here. I don't think I've met any FK fans in Northern California. All the peeps I met in RL happened when I was down in San Diego.
