I am very grateful to report that I start a job a week from Monday.
It isn’t exactly what I saw myself doing, but I think it’s going to be interesting and I think I’m going to learn something. Plus, in this economy, if I don’t have to ask if you want fries with that, I don’t think I should be complaining.
I’m going to be working as a law clerk, not a lawyer, for a small firm in town. The two partners I will be mainly working with have different practice areas, neither of which I have any experience with whatsoever.
That’s part of the appeal — I’ll get to learn new things. And at least one of the lawyers does anticipate having a small but real use for my privacy expertise. They’re also very supportive of my trying to launch my own privacy & data security practice, with this as an income stream during the first few months, or my finding a permanent job as a lawyer.
Josie’s day care is happy to take her on full time, and Noah’s school is also willing and able to add him to their after-school program.

Congratulations! Glad things are starting to fall into place a little.
Wooooo! Congraulations!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Go you! I totally feel your pain as the job I just got is with an insurance company. I know NOTHING about insurance, so I am learning all about how it all works.
Just now read this – Congratulations!! I do hope it is working out and that you are enjoying the freedom to start your own business, as well as learn new things. Way to go!
