My First Conference Part I

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin at 9:33 am on Friday, February 29, 2008

I’m blogging on my laptop during my first legal conference.

- Approximate attendance demographic - tons and tons of white people, 2 minorities (including me)

- Warning - beware of insurance jokes, legal jokes, and, in a new realm I am unfamiliar with at this point - insurance law jokes.

- I’m hungry, so I got a couple mini apple danishes and a bottle of water.

- I’m feeling a little inadequate because my Blackberry isn’t going off every few minutes. Wait, I don’t even have a Blackberry. To make myself feel better, I pretended I had a phone call and walked out holding my phone. Then I took a dump.

- The tp at the Ritz Carlton is really soft. This place is solid.

- I’m actually kind of impressed at the attendees here. Although people are definitely doing other things, like reviewing documents on their laptops or checking their Blackberries, they all seem to be pretty attentive. They also laugh at the jokes, which means they’re listening.

- I just realized a white guy in front of me is wearing almost the exact same outfit as me.

- Just took down a Diet Coke in a mini glass bottle. Do they sell these anywhere? I only get these mini glass bottles at hotel functions. They seem so compact. I like them.

- The guy ahead of my just got a mini bottle of San Pellegrino. I didn’t see those. I should get one because it’s a free opportunity to drink an Italian beverage (that is probably bottled in Denver, CO).

- San Pellegrino IS a legit Italian beverage. Would it be low class for me to bring in a thermos and fill it?

- Lunchtime. I can’t believe I just listened to 3 hours of insurance related litigation seminars. Wow.

The Radio

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin at 9:23 am on Friday, February 29, 2008

I have a short commute to work, so I listen to my Ipod a lot less. It’s the radio for me now, and I’ve realized that for the last few months, I have an odd, yet consistent radio consumption schedule.

In the morning, I don’t listen to Kevin and Bean because my drive is too short (about 8 mins) and I feel like I’d want to listen to them for longer. That means I either listen to 103.1 or NPR.

103.1 has this segment every Wednesday at 8am that basically is “wine for idiots.” It’s great. It helps that the hosts sound kind of stupid and somehow make me feel better being ignorant about wine. Then I’ll listen to the surf and ski report and wonder (1) whether the guy giving the report is faking his accent and is really an English literature professor and (2) how in the world people could actually go snowboarding…on a weekday. Then that makes me think of the first time, in college, when I realized I was doing nothing productive during the day, on a weekday. After 13 grades of school, I had earned the right to do nothing at 11am on a Wednesday. I don’t know if other college kids gloss over that, but it was huge for me. I think I probably realized what was going on, and then started crying and sucking my thumb for the next 45 minutes. I was either really happy or sad or confused. I don’t know.

Anyway, so NPR. NPR is perfect for 8 minute drives in the morning. Today I learned about schools that teach their kids “tools of the mind” so that they can control their behavior and emotions better. The other day I heard something about how there is debate on the negative effects of the growing preference for public schooling in Pakistan. NPR is like magic. In 8 minutes, you can not only learn something, you learn something about a subject you didn’t even know existed. It’s crazy. In the evening, I usually get out of work at 7, so I listen to “Which Way L.A.”, a show with the tagline that is something to the effect of “what angelenos care about.” The other day the guest was a geologist talking about how Lake Mead might dry out by 2121. Then there was the show where some poli sci people commented on the impact of the Fabian Nunez leaving his post as California Assembly speaker. In other words, I honestly believe that Which Way L.A. has the most erroneous and misleading tagline in all of NPR. Ok, that’s not all true. A few days ago they talked about how lawmakers want to use streets as designated thoroughfares to lessen freeway traffic. They said the first experiment was for Olympic and Pico on the Westside to the be the guinea pigs. Traffic on those streets seems pretty bad already, so I’m not sure that’s a great idea, but hey, what do I know.

On the totally opposite side of the spectrum, I also am totally hooked on Jonesy’s Jukebox on 103.1 It’s hosted by Steve Jones, formerly of the Sex Pistols, who spends a few hours spinning records and talking and rambling with guests in his cockney accent, fully displaying a mind that has suffered through a bit too much substance abuse over the years. It’s kind of surreal, like hanging out with a stoned British guy at his house, and once in a while, Robert Plant or Oasis will come over too to hang out. The cool thing is that the musicians he gets really seem to like talking to him, not just because he’s pretty funny, but also because he was in the Sex Pistols, who probably have some of the biggest rock cred out there. It’s amazing how disarming a stoned-sounding Brit can be for guests. I mean, the other day, he was talking to Oasis about how the 40-something girlfriend of the former England soccer coach wasn’t “bad for an old bird.” The Oasis guys were cracking up. I’m a fan of Oasis as a band, but I’d be scared to talk to them, and here this old guy is slaying them with his one liners. It’s not all music though, last month he had astrophysicists from JPL on his show and he kept trying to convince them that “the days seems to be going by faster now.” I’ve never been so amused and not fully understood why.

That’s the entertainment you can get in 16 minutes a day.

I’m going to write a post that doesn’t mention anything about work or wedding planning, even though those two things take up 15 out of 17 waking hours right now.

I saw Enchanted a little while ago. There were some cringe-inducing moments, but overall, I thought it was pretty decent. Most of the movie really was on the edge of believable (as long as you could believe the entire premise was believable). Amy Adams’ performance was fantastic, and it reminded me a lot of her other work. She’s great at playing the really innocent/naive person. It got me wondering about how many really great actors are out there - the ones who can really do any kind of role. If you think about it, most actors really only do one kind of role.

I thought the Super Bowl was great. I really haven’t been into the Super Bowl for the last few years, but this year it was a little more exciting because of the Patriots’ streak and of the whole storyline of whether Eli Manning could show he had some balls. It was the kind of game that would make anyone a sports fan.

Speaking of sports, I’m pumped about the Lakers getting Pau Gasol. I was already glad that the Lakers were better this year. I’m annoyed at Shaq going to Phoenix. I hope the plan fails. I don’t like players who jump teams. I hate how Shaq says he’s going to play inspired and “prove everyone wrong.” You’re a professional athlete getting paid $20 million and you couldn’t play inspired basketball in Miami, where they have the worst team in the NBA? I’m just pissed when I hear stuff like that because all sports fans deserve equal effort.

I’m really amazed at how popular Feist is. I knew she had a unique thing going, but now she’s really taken off.

Damn, can the writers strike end, so I can justify my $40 cable bill with a few new episodes of the Office and Scrubs?

I made it a whole entry without mentioning worIhatemyboss.

One Month

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin at 8:20 pm on Friday, February 1, 2008

At the one month checkpoint, I can now confirm that I don’t like my job. The work is ok, the other associates are fine, and the pay is ok. The boss, however, is from hell. I’ve never had a boss like this - someone who’s got everyone, including me, on edge; a boss who’s got the market cornered on the “arrogance/moodiness/social awkwardness” trifecta. I really hit the jackpot.

One thing that I used to do when I was hating law school (which was any time after the first 12 minutes), was to refer back to the worst times of my old job and feel better about being in law school. Then when I was working at a shit law firm in Long Beach, waking up at 630am and driving back at 8pm, I thought about my worst times in law school to make me feel better about my crap job. When I was studying for the bar (again), I thought about the worst times at that crap job in Long Beach. Now, when I’m sitting my office as my boss is flipping out, I can’t help trying to conjure up the feeling of failing the bar or getting a rejection letter from a law firm in the mail, just to make myself feel better at that moment.

The great thing about life is that you keep accumulating more experiences, developing your point of reference, and refining how bad things can really be. I hate my job now. But if you talked to me back when I was 22 and doing some of the bs tasks I had back then, I’d have told you I hated it too. But it’s such a different kind of dislike. Did I really dislike my first job? Did I really dislike law school? Did I really dislike taking the bar again? Did I really dislike not having a full time job?

I know the answer is yes to all of those questions, but they’re all so tough to compare. Yeah my boss is pretty terrible, but the work is challenging (contrary to my first job out of college), I’m working (which, for me, is better than school), there are no more bar exams to pass, and I’m getting paid more than I ever got paid before (don’t get excited - it’s a relative statement).

But this boss is something new. He’s right on the edge of unbearable and I really don’t know how long I can really stand him. But there is an upside. I can’t wait until my next job, when I can use the memory of this boss to make whatever bad stuff in my future look better in comparison.
