fuck this job.com

I'm starting a public defender's office on August 1st. It felt so good to put in my two weeks. And the funny thing is that they are still trying to give me crap at my office. But I don't care--I won't be there and since I have a new job, what are they going to do, fire me? I know I shouldn't burn bridges, but I'm not going to grovel at this point. F them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I have to learn as much as I can about criminal law and look for a new apartment. Not only do I have a new job, I get to move to a cool new town by the ocean.

Hopefully, I won't be posting here so much any more. Hopefully I won't be so miserable anymore. To everyone here, I know how much it sucks to have a job that you hate, but just keep sending out your resume and things will get better.

i've dug myself into a hole at work. i've missed deadlines and there are a number of tasks sitting on my desk from back in february that i haven't completed. i am so afraid to talk to anyone about it--i'm already on such thin ice. i don't know whether i should just not say anything about it and gamble that i'll get this new job in a few weeks, or whether i should own up to it and take responsibility for what i haven't done yet. i know i should--i should just go in there and say, look i've messed up, i have a bunch of stuff that i've never done and i've been so afraid to come and talk to you about it that it has compounded and what do you want me to do with it now.

there is just no way that i can win with this job. everything i do is wrong. i think i am expected to work too much. i don't want to work 50 to 60 hours a week. especially doing crap that i don't care about and is pointless. my job responsibilities are not outlined, i have no idea what i am supposed to do. file aren't mine unless something has gone wrong and i really can't take it anymore.

Like many others on this site, I hate my job. I have been working at my firm for nearly a year now and I find the work meaningless, overwhelming and unrewarding. I really want to leave--I've sent out resumes and I have gone to a few interviews. My only problem was that I was in a nasty car wreck the summer after my first year of law school, so I never really had time to work over the summers and because I missed nearly a semester in school, I wasn't able to do all of the clinics and other classes that give you practice experience. So I finished school having no idea what type of law I wanted to practice.
