Update on My Job, or Lack Thereof
September 24, 2009
Dear Blog That Nobody Reads, I quit my job! Well, technically, I gave notice and my last day at work is October 6, 2009. It felt good and scary and exhilarating all at one time. I’ve been at my large law firm job for almost four years, albeit including 7 months of maternity leave, and it’s been a total of six years since law school. I was ready to move out of the large law firm. Initially, I wanted to take time off from work completely, but then I got scared at the prospect of being a Stay At Home Mom. (Can I really do it? I don’t know how to be a homemaker? Will I get lonely? What about my legal skills? Etc. Etc.) As a result, I’ve been working with a placement agency and looking for something about 20 hours a week, which would be great… if I can find it. I’ve been on one interview, where we were clearly not a match (he was a solo practitioner looking to farm out his urgent projects and already had another part-time attorney for the steady work). I’ve got a few more prospects and I’m hoping, otherwise, I’ll have to take on all those fears and just jump in to being at home full-time.
