ready

In my line of work, working with people (not the paralegal side of things but the college student staff side of things :), it can be emotionally draining and physically taxing, and I’m quite frankly tired of juggling both jobs. I am close to being able to leave the firm…but until then, press on I must. I knew this would be a marathon…but…after 14 months, I’m in need of reaching the finish line. I want to be able to devote myself to just one job and concentrate on my students 100%…I’m close but not there yet…and my juggling skills are getting a little shaky…
I’m tired tonight. I’ll have a better outlook tomorrow.
Tonight…I just want to cry but cannot.
The Lord is enough…but sometimes, I just want physical arms to hold me.
“Why” by Bethany Dillon
This house is echoing
With the sound of You knocking at the door
But with three locks
And the shades down
You are easy to ignore
I put You on like an old pair of shoes
I’ve put You off, but now I need You
Why, this love that never leaves me
Why are You holding me tonight
Can’t deny this love that is given me
Why, this love will never leave
You’re a good strategy when I need one
An angle when there is none
Like a doormat
That always says welcome
No matter how much dirt I rub on
But when I am tired and run through
Look over this hill, I’m running to You
Do you know what you’re doing after this job finishes?
Which job? ;p
I’ve been working as a paralegal in various fields (litigation was by far my favorite) for a few years now. I’m fully transitioning out of law, however, in the near future and will be working full time with college students (I’m working part time now). Said job with college students involves raising my own operating budget and salary, which is why I’ve been working both jobs simultaneously as I make the transition. I don’t like debt. *grin*
I cannot wait to be working just one job. =)
So if you mean my paralegal job, yes, I’ll be working with college students; if you mean working with college students, no, life’s an adventure. ;) But I intend to work with college students indefinitely, so we’ll see when the adventure moves me on.
Blimey, complicated! I thought you meant you were leaving this job, I can be a bit dim sometimes! ;)
Complication seems to be my middle name.
;)
You aren’t a bit dim! I wasn’t that articulate…a bit purposefully as I obviously, publicly, don’t want to get into the ins and outs of either job. ;p It should suffice to say what I “am” in name. Feel free to email me, though. ;)
