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. : )

So, tonight is it; I must suffer through The Ring Two. I actually feel self-pity, but I know a pact is a pact. Thus, I will go.

Today I am going to present at a high school to several classes. My presentation has a two-fold expectation - First, to speak with these teens to get my business known, and, two, to find out what advertising and graphics will appeal to them. As for the latter, I am offering $100 to the teen who comes up with the advertising "pitch" and artisitic design I choose to take on. Pretty cool incentive, I think. Next Friday I am doing the same thing at another school. I plan to keep going to the high schools until either I take a full time job (I am searchinig for a part-time, but am getting calls for interviews for full-time positions), thereby temporarily postponing my own business, or I get too swamped to go further. Since January, I have already recognized an ebb and flow in responses; part of business, I suppose.

Been up for about an hour and a half already. Job surfing is about done for the morning (the sites only update once a day.) (Jen, I do not know why you say it takes you more than three hours on any given day...) I have a checklist of sites to check each day; makes it easier. There are TONS of attorney positions in LA right now, but, alas, even if I could, I do NOT want to practice. If I end up practicing, it will be because of some necessity which I cannot at the time fathom. Heck, even the City Attorney and DOJ in LA are hiring...

As for my interviews, hahahahaha. Can you actually believe that I am interviewing to go back to my previous position as an Investigator? I have my reasons, but the top-most being that I know the hours are set in stone (occasional overtime), it would allow me to continue my own business on the side, and the pay and benefits are really good (it is a County position.) I am meeting with my previous cohorts next Tuesday morning. I went ahead and applied for the opening because, unlike before, I would be working Juvenile Investigations, not Criminal Investigations. I prefer to stay away from dealing directly with crime scenes from here on out. I love doing the work and all, but the nightmares were alot to take.

Harumph! I cannot believe it is only 4:30 in the morning. Geez, I would think I need more than two to three hours of sleep. I bet you tonight I will crash out hard. Tomorrow, I get to do the early thing again - Rob and I are heading out to get taxes done. Yippee. He makes it worth it though; after all, he has scored in the mid-nineties on every Disqualifying Exam to date! YAY ROB!!! Next week's exam: Crimes Against Persons - gotta love the stuff, I am tellin' ya!!!
