Here’s a scene you probably never want to see at your job: When we got our computers upgraded, they opened up the ceiling and yep, down came the mouse crap, cradle and all. Then they just left the ceiling open like that. Are they nuckin’ futs??? When I went to see about contacting OSHA to…

No longer able to contain his emotions, he held me tightly and broke down crying. “There, there, everything’s gonna be…

Maybe. 18 months of soul searching, seeking, knocking, begging for clear direction, begging for signs, begging for ANYTHING that might give me an indication that I wasn’t making the mistake of my life by signing up for law school, and now here I am… one day before the deadline, STILL without an answer. I spoke…
