I cannot imagine wearing jeans to my office. It would be BAD.<br /><br />3cars, trouser socks. That is a good name for them. I will try that to sound less like a great-grandma.<br /><br />Liz, good to know. I will not be a sucker!<br /><br />Sass, it is nice to know I'm not alone. Thanks.<br /><br />GG, ah, thanks. It is frustrating to not know where I want to be. Aargh.<br /><br />Christine, I don't think you are D-E-D dead. You just have to find a legal (or non-legal, but not illegal) job that is right for you.<br /><br />Laurie, Type A-Minus. I am totally stealing that!<br /><br />Chirky, I'm glad my pain can be a comfort to you. I wore the same pants Monday and today. I am pretty sure my coworkers are getting tired of them.<br /><br />Metalia, I don't know if it is so much a crisis as a minor freakout. Or some other word that is less than crisis.-R-https://www.blogger.com/profile/03106445268257079599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-78877907468230754762007-01-10T18:47:00.000-06:002007-01-10T18:47:00.000-06:00Oh R, you're not chubby in the least!

But I am so delighted and filled with glee that someone out there has LESS clothes to wear than I do!<br /><br />You see, I'm down to three pairs of slacks and two skirts that I can wear.<br /><br />Which basically means that my coworkers get really, really tired of seeing me in the same clothes.<br /><br />And also that I need to lose weight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-87707071597375455802007-01-10T12:01:00.000-06:002007-01-10T12:01:00.000-06:00I can't imagine working with lawyers all day.

I am very focused and driven, but in incredibly odd ways. <br /><br />You look so cute in your pictures! I know you said you didn't like your haircut but I think it's very chic on you. My face is too fat for that length but I covet it anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-66827441156482409052007-01-10T11:59:00.000-06:002007-01-10T11:59:00.000-06:00Ahh the fitting into the legal profession.

I've started in <em>law school</em> which probably means that my law career is "D-E-D, Dead!" to quote my sister. <br /><br />Ahh well, you'll figure it all out.<br /><br />And also?

As for the "do I fit ...You are totally not chubby!<br /><br />As for the "do I fit in and do I even want to" questions - you know, after I pondered this a little, I realized I went through similar thoughts...probably around age 24-27. Maybe 28, too. Not just professionally, either - I did a lot of shifting with my social life at the time, spending more time with people I truly enjoyed than people I'd known a while, etc. I think it's totally normal. <br /><br />Big hugs, my friend. You will find your place. xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-86878920571687567832007-01-10T09:48:00.000-06:002007-01-10T09:48:00.000-06:00I feel like I am hearing the same "Do I fit in?" r...I feel like I am hearing the same "Do I fit in?" rumblings from many of my nouvelle-attorney friends... it's hard to figure out what to be when you grow up!<br /><br />You look great and adorable--and so professional!!L Sasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852624970958809824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-29972877886597153002007-01-10T09:40:00.000-06:002007-01-10T09:40:00.000-06:00I can't remember the last time I bought an article...I can't remember the last time I bought an article of clothing that WASN'T on sale. I know I haven't done it since I worked retail for a brief while in a clothing store years ago and learned how quickly stuff goes on sale. I used to be inwardly scornful (while outwardly enthusiastic of their choice; gotta make those sales quotas) of anyone who bought something the week it came out. "Sheesh--don't they know that will be 20% off by next week?"lizgwizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907508137794025189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-65386898907491502422007-01-10T08:42:00.000-06:002007-01-10T08:42:00.000-06:00I'm glad you acknowledged that you didn't look hap...I'm glad you acknowledged that you didn't look happy in the picture. The term "ridiculously happy" didn't seem to fit the expression on your face. Very cute outfit, indeed.<br /><br />I call my knee highs trouser socks. I can't decide if that makes me sound younger than 80, or older than 80.3carnationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942247215569463561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-42061146240437209142007-01-10T08:36:00.000-06:002007-01-10T08:36:00.000-06:00The fact that you have to wear suits to work would...The fact that you have to wear suits to work would be reason enough for me to rethink my profession. Of course, this comes from an English major who is sitting at work wearing jeans, Danskos, and a wool sweater from Old Navy. I'm just saying, it's hard to be happy in uncomfortable clothes.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10128238432671375399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-76336329422813972662007-01-09T22:34:00.000-06:002007-01-09T22:34:00.000-06:00I love red shoes!
