Well today is the first day of having my boss back in the
office. He has been in Maui
for the last 6 weeks. When he is away, I
get a little more time here and there to do a personal thing here and there or
take a lunch but now that he is back, I will be lucky to get a bathroom
break. Literally. But I am surprisingly very happy to see him and
settle back into our crazy routine. I
have SO MANY mixed emotions about law school that I was telling my sister I
should probably be medicated. I am just
so all over the place. I have actually
really enjoyed working here very much and I will be sad to leave. I will also be very happy to leave. J
But we really have made a good team. He
has been pretty great to me.
"Too much that we do is done at the expense of something else, or somebody else. There is some intransigent destructiveness in us. My days, though I think I know better, are filled with a thousand irritations, worries, regrets for what has happened and fears for what may, trivial duties, meaningless torments—as destructive of my life as if I wanted to be dead. Take today for what it is, I counsel myself. Let it be enough.
And I dare not, for fear that if I do, yesterday will infect tomorrow. We are in the habit of contention—against the world, against each other, against ourselves.
It is not from ourselves that we will learn to be better than we are."
from A Native Hill, by Wendell Berry. 1969
