do you ever have a low self esteem day?? I feel like today is one for me.... ever since I got back from detroit, my sleep sched has been so messed up and I fall asleep on my sofa, my chair, etc while I was writing and working on my paper that was due this past Weds at 5pm. This morning, I overslept (again!wtf) and we had a client for wills clinic at 9am so I planned to meet my partner at 815, um yeah she called me at 813 and then i got ready asap and peaced out. I was at the clinic from about 830-105pm..turned in my bar prep midterm late....then I went to the post office to get the mail for work then i went to work a little early and so i was talking with my boss and paralegal about our big trial this week (yay our client got everything he wanted, overnight and unsupervised joint custody with his baby daughter!!!) and then she needed me to take a form because I had to be in IV-D court at 2pm.. I got there a little late (around 215) and didnt see my client there. Soooo I panicked. I talked to the CSE agent and yeah um he hadn't paid anything since AUGUST. our last hearing date. WTF. So I go into the Attorney's lounge and try and call him, um his dad (yes, this grown man lives with his father) said he had no idea where his son was but was having car trouble and didnt know where he was... I had even called yesterday to make sure he remembered to come today. yeah no. he didnt. So the court was so backed up and had about half of the morning docket to do and that took foreverrrr. they didnt start the afternoon docket until nearly 330. my case was finally called near the end and I tried my best to give excuses as to why my client wasnt there and I argued that he had made some sort of payment up until now even as unemployed and he always had his list of places of potential employment every time until now but she said since he didnt show up and hadnt made payments in 2 months, she put an order out for his arrest with a $3000 cash bond. first client of mine that went to jail..
ugh, i was so exhausted when i got back to the office, it was nearly 430 so then I talk to my boss and then some lady called in for a consultation so i was doing her intake and then after i finally got off the phone, i finished the work I was doing (OMGGGG my list for monday is insane!) but i still have a ton of work for monday when i go in at noon. i am j so drained.
i am burnt out in every sense of the word. physically, emotionally, mentally. it is ridiculous. Im abt to go drink some wine, take a nice hot bubble bath, and then benadryl myself to sleep...
also, guys, they confuse me. srsly. I DONT UNDERSTAND.
maybe i just need to go to danville for a little while...... ?
i love you! and i'm having a low self-esteem month, so it happens to everyone! xoxo <3
