Where I pretend that I actually have servants
Our new nanny started today. I feel so fancy having a nanny. Whenever someone asks me who takes care of kids, I say in a slightly uppity manner, “They are with the nanny.”
What I am not saying is that I make one whole dollar more an hour than what I am paying the nanny. And when you factor in the fact that I have to pay her for my travel time to and from work, she actually makes out better than I do. That’s right. I actually lose money at work.
You might wonder, as have I,” Why would anyone take a job when they lose money?” Because this has the potential to turn into a well paying job. Also, the economy is so bad, I felt that it was better to take a job and have it on my resume then not. Hopefully, when things turn around, I can use this experience towards something more lucrative.
Actually, this is all bullshit. I am going to reapply to the DAs office just as soon as I can. I am bored out of mind. I can hack being poor. I HATE being bored.
I feel you. I guess that’s why instead of sitting around on unemployment, I’m driving myself crazy working a bunch of pro bono cases. However, I’m starting to think boredom isn’t such a bad thing…

I get it. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do to get where you want to go. I’m sure all your hard work and sacrifice will pay off!

There is nothing worse that being bored at work, especially if you work at a place that you suspect might also be monitoring the web pages that you visit.
