I wanted to let people know that I’m still alive.  I’m having huge problems with my website right now.  It started a while back when I was beginning to get weird script popups when I’d go there and then my virus software went nuts.  Then it quit doing that and everything was fine for a while.  Three days ago none of the pictures or images would show up on my site and then starting yesterday, all I’m getting is a total blank page.  My cpanel still says everything is there, but it’s not showing up.  I have a post in to support because I have no clue what the problem is and I just haven’t had the time nor the inclination lately to try to fix it.  So until then, I guess I will have to post here.

I haven’t been in a very good mood lately anyhow so I just really haven’t felt like posting in the first place.  It just seems that whenever things seem to be falling into place and getting better that something always has to throw a monkey wrench into it and screw it all up.  And that’s what happened last weekend BIG TIME.

First of all, I got let go from my job.  No real reason given except that it just wasn’t working out.  After talking some with friends and thinking about it, I’m fairly sure I know what happened.  I was hired to help out the real estate paralegal but when I interviewed, I didn’t interview with her, but 2 of the real estate attorneys.  She and I didn’t click too well.  She was always frazzled and stressed and gave out those vibes all the time.  She had too much work and that’s why I was there.  The only problem is that she was too busy to take time to show me how to do what she needed, and if I asked questions, she’d either snap at me or tell me she didn’t have time to answer right then.  I never talked to anyone about it because I was afraid she would get angry at me if I went over her head, so instead I tried talking to her.  I thought things were better for a week or so, but then she was right back to not having time to show me anything or answer questions.  So I think she ended up talking to the attorneys and telling them I wasn’t working out because I didn’t have the commercial real estate experience and she didn’t have time to train someone.  They specifically hired me because I had not come from another law firm and they felt that they would not have to untrain me from a different place and then train me on how they wanted things done.  

So it sucks and I’ve been very depressed about losing that job.  The place was great and I was excited to be working there.  I do feel that they are going to have a problem with anyone that has to work with that paralegal because she isn’t much of a ‘team player’ in the first place.  And even someone with commercial real estate experience from another firm will have to be trained on the procedures at this firm.  I hope they don’t have to ask her too many questions because if she snapped at people like she did me, I’d be surprised if they stuck it out as long as I did.  

Well, there’s more than just the job, but I have to fix dinner now so I’m going to post this and perhaps I’ll have time to write another entry later.
