At this point I am lost in class. So I am going to keep on not paying attention. I have been thinking about what it will be like if I actually one day get to be an attorney. One of the interesting things about the possibility of being an attorney is that I might one day have a secretary. The idea of having a secretary is one that is the category of "too good to be true." I don’t know why I feel like this, but I really can’t imagine having a secretary. Or I can, but it just seems crazy. While I am thinking about it – these are the things that I would love to have some else do for me:
1. Follow me around and pick up all the stuff I drop.
2. Keep track of where the stuff I need is locates. That is the greatest thing about my laptop – I can always find things in the computer. I have a little more difficult of a time with real, hard copies of things.
3. Make sure I am in the right place at the right time. Today was the first Monday of the semester, and true to form I went to the wrong classroom. I was setting stuff up, and all these first years were coming in the door, and I was really confused, and then I realized my mistake.
4. Remind me of things that I need to do.
5. Make lists for me. I will follow a list, but I can’t make my own and I will probably lose it, so it would be great if someone else had a copy of it and could help me out.
6. Make cover letters. I hate cover letters.
7. Actually, it would be great if they could take care of all things that required a certain format, I could give them the information and they could format it for me. I’m not real good with formatting details. Actually, technical details altogether escape me. Other details I can handle. Like details in movies and real life. Visual details. Details regarding the substance of things. Otherwise, I’m at a loss.
8. I would love it if someone would bring me lunch everyday. This would be nice. Or at least call and order it for me. Deciding what I am going to eat next and how I am going to get it during the day is not fun as far as I am concerned.
9. Take care of mailing things – making sure things are addressed correctly and stamped.
10. And last but not least, I would like to have a secretary that enjoyed being around me, and did all of these things because they liked me and not just because I was paying them. I would like it to be someone that I enjoyed being around and someone for which I had a mutual appreciation and respect. Yes, that would be nice.
the thin line between optimism and delusion...
