Using my powers for good
Today I evaded the gravitational forces of evil. For a couple hours, at least.
Through one of my firm's pro bono programs I got to help finalize an adoption today. It was me, actual lawyer, helping my client file all the paperwork and making sure she understood everything and got everything taken care of in a timely manner.
It's not technically billable time but I get a kind of credit for it.
But even more importantly, I did something good today. I helped make a real live family's life better. There's very little in the world that can match the feeling I got today when my client legally became the girl's mom.
Man, I wanna do that again.

Warm and fuzzies!
Law firms...pshaw! Who needs 'em! :)
well, they do come in handy with the bills ;)
Now if only I could build a machine that could turn warm fuzzies into net monetary profit...
I see that Ol' Uncle Law School has taught you well.
Now go be evil.
aw yay, sweetness and light for the whole family!
Remember, it's our profession that makes these things happen.
The More You Know :)
odderie -- you really should have followed that up with a "MWAHAHAHAHAHA" :)
micah -- two steps ahead of you, my friend!
jca -- I'm changing your initials to nbc. As in "nbc public service announcement" or "nbc after-school movie of the day" :)
That's the key: "I did something good today." I'm proud of ya.
:) Thanks!
I'm kinda proud of me too :)
Lean on your firm to let you 'bill' pro bono.
