I sometimes hate my job. I studied my ass off to become a lawyer, and I really like the lawyering itself, but my job is so fucking annoying sometimes. It's just too much responsibility, and too many cases at the same time! I have an average of one thousand running cases. ONE THOUSAND files, and I am the only one responsible for them.
So in this one case I missed a court deadline. I didn't really miss it because at the time when it was set, I was on vacation in California. No one noted the deadline for me, and no one ever reported that the court set one. So I hand in the writ to late, but the court fully regards it in the later verdict, and the fucking client files a complaint about how this case was worked to my boss! Great! I didn't even do anything wrong, but BAM! Eat this.
Then the other day, I got a verdict where my claim was dismissed, based on an expertise saying that my client did something wrong so that he cannot claim payment. An expert said that my client did something wrong. And now the client goes berserk, claiming I misrepresented him, that he wants to see all my writs, and that I didn't fight enough for his position. Hello?? AN EXPERT FUCKING SAID THE FRIGGIN' CDs HE PRODUCED WERE SHITTY, meaning not my fucking fault. Now I have to confess to my boss tomorrow that I am scaring away clients because I work so shitty.
Seriously, this is really bad. I have a low self-esteem anyway, and now everyday someone seems to rub in my face what an incompetent attorney I am. Thanks a lot.
On a lighter note, I am thinking about spending this years' vacation in New Orleans. <3
