Hehe...and all I wanted was the license to practice law!?!?
Hey, Rob: Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. :)

Tomorrow is D-Day; the day Bar results are released. *sigh* If it makes the phonecalls / emails cease, I am all for it! I love that my friends care, and I do appreciate it, but it is difficult when all I can say is the same thing - "Is it Friday yet? No? Well, then why would I know anything different than I knew yesterday? I appreciate your thinking of me, but I can't tell you anything new until Friday night. Even then, it won't be new because I have already told you my thoughts on this subject. So, is there anything else we can talk about? Alrighty then...(moving along)" Yep, that about sums up around twenty conversations I have had this week with the same repeat offenders. Too funny - for the educated friends I have, I sometimes wonder when the common sense left the building. I know other friends who are in the same boat; waiting, wondering... Most of them are repeat takers. All the die are cast; now it's just a waiting game until the Bar releases the roll-call tomorrow evening.

In honor of Bar results, I will be ditching the evening Boot Camp for an early morning reverie. Too much fun, I tell you. After that, I will be meeting up with some friends during the day (also waiting for results) and heading over to City Walk. Figure if we keep ourselves busy, the day won't be as anguishing as it has been in the past for them and others. Since this is my first time taking the Bar, I am heeding their advice about being out and about for the day. I may split from them early-on and go out and about by myself (a usual thing for me). I may go to a movie or whatever else strikes my fancy.

Otherwise this week, I have laid low. I avoided scheduling interviews for the week and have them bundled on June 1st and one awaiting scheduling. I have received some interesting job offers, but none that I will seriously consider. There are some salaries I refuse to accept (Come on, if I made more than that before law school, how can anyone imagine I would accept the same, or less, now??? Get real.) and some lcoations I refuse to accept. Albeit, I was willing to go to Stockholm, but how in the world is that in the same vicinity as Madrid? Heck, Madrid and Stockholm are not even on the same continent's mainland - you got to cross water to get from one to the other; which, in short, means "NO." Also, I do not desire to take a position in anyone's DC office. Been there; done that. No thanks. Nick, I am sorry, I know you love it and want me there, but you are on your own buddy. It's a great place to visit and to work in the non-summer months. So, I am back in the saddle and still seeking. I am still in the running for a few City Attorney positions and a DA position in various CA locales. Other than that, I am still in the running for several ADR positions. Too cool. Also, I have sent more resumes in to various places, just on chance. Answered a few more advertisements too. Not too worried right now since this summer is booked up anyhow. LOL.

Rob is still heading through his own hiring process - just waiting on polygraph results so he can head in to the next phase. He should be fine, but he had a very odd polygraph phase. In any case, nothing to do but wait.

He is taking off tonight for his parents. I still can't believe the scheduling of it. If I didn't know better, I would say he is getting as far from the crash as possible. LOL. We seem to be in the midst of a little disagreement. As most of you know, I am not supportive of cursing; least of all when it is directed toward me. He says he did not curse at me, but since I was the only other person on the phone, it could not have been toward anyone else. I want an apology and he does not think one is owing. I decided not to make it into an argument and just told him to think about it and call me back. He didn't. Oh well. So, I guess he leaves and we stay on less than spectacular terms until then. I know to pick my battles, but cursing will always be one of them. Better to figure it out now than later. Sucks though; I would rather him go on his trip without one or both of us upset. I don't get to choose, however.

I was supposed to see him today, but I am thinking not. I really don't want an argument - there is enough to be stressed about this week. Think I may stay home or I may call Jen and see if she is still free. I hate to change plans last minute, but avoidance is sometimes better for the mind.

So, I am about updated. I am posting my best wishes of luck for my fellow Bar takers: Brett, Scott, Rujenka, Stephanie, Jill, Michael, Meg, Shilay, Brian, Jackson, Leigh, Marcus, Mark, Mariah, Tillie, Daniel, Roozy (even though you only took it for practice), all my fellow Bar Passers alumni, some of my fellow Pepperdiners (you know who you aren't), and to everyone else I know I am forgetting, but can't get past my brain fart... May you never have to take this God-forsaken exam again!!!

Countdown to extinction...minus one and eight hours.
