Do i miss work?

I have been staying at home for the last 2 weeks honing my domestic skills. Fortunately for me, i still have two weeks more to perfect the recipes i have downloaded from the internet and buy the much needed curtains for the kitchen and the bedroom.

In order to keep my sanity, I have decided to make use of this blog which my husband created for me. Although I may not be good with writing, this is my first attempt at expressing myself in the English language.

I didn't realize being at home can be really boring, but as of today, I would prefer staying here than being at work. I do not miss the stress of everyday work, but i do miss the people at the office. Being pestered by overzealous clients, complainants, witnesses and police officers can be annoying at times. It's actually nice to be in a peaceful environment. Imagine yourself in my shoes, trying so hard to concentrate on finding ways how to put a felon in jail. You list down all possible witnesses, the nature of their testimony, the law applicable, research relevant jurisprudence, read the rule on evidence, prepare for possible objections, write letters to interview witnesses, and then suddenly, someone will just pop out from nowhere and bring you to the reality that you are obliged to entertain any and all visitors seeking legal advice or to notarize legal documents.

Sigh, just when you were in your element and then bang! What's worst is that you cannot do anything about their ignorance, low iq and persistence. No matter how much you try to explain the consequences, they still don't get it. Maybe something is wrong with me, I am not a good teacher. I do not have the right to complain, and i should not be complaining. But ignorance and lack of education is frustrating at times.

I don't look my age and sometimes don't dress like a lawyer. Clients' first impression of me is that i am a neophyte and they do not believe me when i give them advice. People do not have faith in young lawyers. But that's another topic for next time.

In concluding, I don't miss work and I do not miss court hearings.

Maybe this job is not for me.
