well, the divine is continuing with her latest cold, however, she is back at school today and seems to be feeling better so hopefully, we're on the downhill slide. it's very difficult to keep a toddler who is in child care well in the winter. which actually just makes me feel guilty.

i came in to work on saturday trying to get caught up and all of that effort was for naught b/c all the judge had to say was how i made a careless mistake on one of the recommendations i submitted to him. i'm not saying that there is any excuse for careless errors - but do you have to only acknowledge the negative. i'm putting forth quite a bit of effort here to get caught back up and the only thing you can say to me is to point out one silly mistake - and the better part was how he said that he noticed "several" places where this thing was done and i looked it over and there was ONE place i did that. hardly several. i'm not discounting my error - it was a silly thing to miss but there is a reason no-one ever lasts working for him but i suppose that is neither here nor there.

and it isn't as if i hadn't heard of his reputation as a boss prior to working here - no attorney ever lasts longer than a year and what i'm complaining about today is very, very mild in comparison to his norm. sometimes i feel like helen hunt in as good as it gets and think i should look up to the heavens and ask, "why can't i find a normal boss?! i just want a normal boss." and a little voice from behind me will say, "everyone wants that, dear, they don't exist." it makes me wonder though of what is even the point of trying so freaking hard.

on a lighter note, the divine was very cute this weekend when she handed me the jeans that were on my bed and completely unprompted said, "i'm a good helper to mommy." which i, of course, agreed with immediately. i love her so much.
