Paul and I call this "not k...Oh, this is very sad! Paul and I call this "not knowing where the toothbrushes are." When we moved to WA (my idea, which involved 2,500 miles of driving), I left my toothbrush behind in a motel, so as soon as we got to our town in WA the next night we went to a drug store. It was hard to find one, because we didn't know where the hell anything was, and then when we went in, it was all unfamiliar and I couldn't find the toothbrushes and I burst into tears. Not because of toothbrushes specifically, but because of unfamiliarity, doubt, and regret.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28627451.post-3525725008290193572007-12-05T15:50:00.000-06:002007-12-05T15:50:00.000-06:00I have been reading about so many Lawyer-bloggers ...I have been reading about so many Lawyer-bloggers that are not happy with their jobs. It seems like such a let down to go through all of that school and then decide you hate it. I can understand how crushing that must be. Aren't there other things you can do with a law degree? I know that Lara on <A HREF="http://www.redredwhine.com/" REL="nofollow"> "Red Red Whine"</A> got a job as a law-recruiter and is so much happier..<BR/>And what is this tater-tot "hotdish" you speak of, hmm? that sounds awesome.clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00251854992291809671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28627451.post-45123892979792254142007-12-05T07:52:00.000-06:002007-12-05T07:52:00.000-06:00My questions is: do you put veggies in your tator ...My questions is: do you put veggies in your tator tot hotdish?

I had my almost perfect life and chose to give it up for a place where I feel like I shed more tears than smile.<BR/><BR/>In other words, I hear you. I try to be positive (I'm becoming more independent, I'm learning new things, blah blah blah) but it's really hard, and although I don't believe in god, I do believe that everything happens for some reason and fate will direct us where we need to go.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there, you're not alone.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705536790775663797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28627451.post-76391346042665341192007-12-04T21:09:00.000-06:002007-12-04T21:09:00.000-06:00P.S.

Howev...Missing a former home is so heartwrenching. However, I am happy to hear that you have friends that mean so much to you that it tugs on your heart to think you left them. You still have them, you do!<BR/><BR/>I think it is INCREDIBLY brave to acknowledge that you are unhappy with law. The degree, the competitiveness of law school, the ridiculous student loans, and yes, the prestige that comes from a professional degree like law, seem like it would make it very difficult to follow through on those thoughts that end with realizing and voicing your dissatisfaction. I think you are on the right path. Right now. Regardless where it ends, and you won't know where that is right now anyway, it is going to be an honest place that you land. <BR/><BR/>Really, Flibberty, I am really, really proud of you, happy for you, and even a little nervous for you. <BR/><BR/>Geezuz - listen to me. I swear I have not had the Hallmark Channel or Lifetime on in my room!

This just happened to my sister over totally different circumstances. She was completely torn and she finally made what she was sure was a final decision, and only because it was so final in her head was she able to understand that it wasn't what she had actually wanted. And so now she's doing what she wanted. It's so complicated. I think it's good that you're facing all these issues and that Brett is so supportive. And that you are being so honest with yourself and that even in the midst of all this you still have some real perspective. And also I think that there's no reason for you to feel guilty for having advocated the move in the first place and then second-guessing it. We're all entitled to change our minds or experience self-doubt, no matter how sure we might have felt before.<BR/><BR/>Also, tater tots will help.
