So it's been recently driven home to me that I definitely need to be back in the workforce. I've been employed basically my entire adult life, until I quit my job in January to move to Cleveland. Aside from whatever emotional baggage I bring to the whole business of being out of the paid workforce, which is my own baggage of course, there's just the fact that I don't like being a stay-home mom well enough to make an avocation of it. It's been a nice break this spring and summer, I admit. Some days it's fun, and I actually kind of enjoy grocery shopping, wasting time on the internet, and puttering around the house. But other days I just want to scream, and I find myself getting short-tempered with the girls when I'm around them all the time. And I'm just not that good at shoving enriching activities down their eager little throats all day. They've watched a lot more Sponge Bob than I care to admit. Plus, I just like being a lawyer--how messed up is THAT?
So, having taken the bar exam and awaiting its results, I have done my resume back up again. First time I've written up a resume in over 12 years. Starting the process of trying to figure out where to look for jobs I like, etc. etc. My darling husband has helped me first of all with offering proofreads and critiques, and then with getting the resume to a decent printer. So, I had a nice little stack of about a dozen resumes, ready to send out. I had in fact sealed up my first one, ready to mail it. And I was looking admiringly at another copy of the finished product.
And I found a comma at the end of one of my sentences instead of a period.
Grrrrrrrrrr.....
