and it worked!

it was that one darn preferences file, that’s stored somewhere completely different than every other file related to the blog. But all of my settings are here – the revised datelines, the custom borders that I actually learned how to edit in html in order to insert manually, and, of course, the orange. This makes me happy. I just have to remember to back up everything whenever I’m done making new entries on one computer so that I don’t accidentally overwrite something. This is definitely cool.

OK. enough about that. This week at work was kind of crazy. We’ve actually all been joking about how much work there is to do (because, really, when you’re all there at 10:30 every night, including the partners, and there’s no end in sight, there’s not a whole lot you can do to keep your sanity in check except laugh about it). The thing is, I’m one of the few people I know who actually really likes there job. I like the work, I like the people that I work with, and I can’t complain about the money. Sure, there have been plenty of nights recently when all I’ve wanted to do is go home and go to sleep, but even then, I don’t develop any overwhelmingly bad feelings towards my job generally. I just think, "gee, it’ll be really nice when Saturday rolls around and I can sleep late."

I suppose it’s good that I feel this way, but sometimes I feel like an oddball because most people I know don’t feel this way about there jobs. And also, I’m a corporate lawyer, so most people I know think that it’s just weird for anyone to enjoy doing my type of work (and honestly, before I got into this line of business, I had abstract thoughts about how boring and horrible it would be, based on nothing more than a "corporations, eww!" line of logic). I’m glad I gave myself the opportunity to prove myself wrong, because otherwise I’d probably be jumping from one litigation job to the next, trying to figure out why I hated my job when it was all I ever wanted to do.

I’m going to try to plan another vacation for April. At this point, I haven’t figured out anywhere to go, and given some timing issues at work, I’m not sure exactly what week I’m going to be able to take off. I’m thinking I’ll just pick a week and then see what e-savers are available to somewhere beachy.
