Week 10 Day 6
I am blue today because I can no longer negotiate. I just want to give in and ask the other side, "Don't you know I'm with child?!" This is not the best development if you happen to be an attorney.
My mother asked me today, "So, it doesn't look like you have that much work to do."
"It's slow in the summer," I said. I've started my own practice since moving to New York, but have not marketed or barely networked. My practice hasn't quite taken off, though I do have a few lovely clients. I'm following Agnes Martin (Canadian painter, 19-- to 2004). She didn't try to pursue or even have ideas. She waited, for inspiration to come to her. Eschewing all aggressive behavior, she thought "you can get so much more with a softer attitude." Of course, she also painted horizontal lines for 40 years.
I applied for court jobs today. Yesterday, volunteering at the Housing Court's pro se attorneys' office, it suddenly hit me. The hours are great, 9:30 to 5 and so are the other benefits. As a public attorney one has so much more potential ability to tangibly benefit the public, rather than corporate interests. Plus, one can move up to being a judge potentially and hold a gavel in one's hand.
Mom's gone for hot yoga with sis, I don't know how she'll survive it on such a hot day. I had afternoon tea and pound cake without her.
