Sigh...

I simply was not built for law firm politics.

I am slowly and painfully learning this.

I'm not built for corporate politics myself. I'm finding out the same as we speak. Maybe we should start our own non-profit and make...absolutely nothing :( But we'd be happy!

LF,

Get out then. Law firm politics suck. I was at a "lifestyle" firm in Chicago, in the plaintiffs' class action group even, and still the office politics were ridiculous and made people gross.

I'm now in a satellite office of a NY Plaintiffs firm, and it rocks. No B.S., but probably not as much access to the uper echelons in New York either. A trade off I'm all too happy to make.

Just remeber, there are other options out there. My best friend from lawschool is practicing at a boutique litigation shop in Aspen. He has a pretty nice life. And gets every other friday off during ski season.

roonie -- if only I had an ounce of entrepreneurial spirit, that just might work ;)

lou, yeah, but as roonie notes, there are politics everywhere, even in smaller firms or boutique firms (which are still firms, anyway). And I'm never going to like them. So instead I will complain to anyone who cares to listen. So thanks for listening :D

drew, I think you should feel good about yourself just because you're you. Hum, I guess I'm in a good mood today. I don't *usually* talk like Stuart Smalley...

drew, indeed! :)

special, glad you're still alive and kicking! ;) No worries, most of us in the blog world take the occasional hiatus (some intentional, some not). Good to have you back. As for me, things are a bit better this week... last week was a mishmash of projects I despised and a horrifically sexist remark/attitude from an extremely powerful male partner (a remark regarding which I still haven't decided what to do/whom to speak with, or to do anything -- and, frankly, I'm still scared shitless but at the same time pissed the fuck off). This week, however, I have the promise of potential new, interesting projects on the horizon, and my Thanksgiving vacation is a short three weeks away.

sixer, seriously. Why are lawyers the most obnoxious bunch of people in the world? Seriously. I can't be that annoying to other people... can I?
