Who f**king Cares?
Readers, Friends, my new Taiwanese Manager, Fat Spinsta is going through an existential crisis. I am not entirely sure what that means but I need a big word to express the depth of my despair.
I have been writing case summaries for hours. It is excrutiatingly boring. I will give these case summaries to a partner. He (they are almost always he - and judging by my sexist fans who suggest Fat Spinsta become a lady of the night I understand why) will put the summaries in his brief case and perhaps put them on the podium when he goes in front of the judge. He will almost certainly not even look at my summaries.
When he returns from court, he will no doubt ask me to do something unnecessary with the summaries. He will likely ask me to summarize the summaries.
I have do to stupid sh*t like this all the time. And the truth is I just don’t care. Who cares about case summaries? Whenever I get frustrated with my job (i.e. every few minutes), I talk to my sister for advice. She will analogize our situations and offer the advice that has gotten her through residency: when you get frustrated with the menial stuff, just focus on helping your patient. And then she will make me feel bad for making a lot of money doing menial things while she makes no money and actually saves lifes.
Her analogy fails though. I don’t have a patient to help. I suppose I have a client but he/she/it is so far removed I cannot see how what I do helps the client. I guess there is the partner but I don’t really want to help him. He is, after all, the dumb jerk making me summarize summaries.
So how do I go on?
Now, some of you may be thinking, Fat Spinsta, you make a six figure salary when we are in a recession. You self-indulgent ass. Well to you I say, perhaps you have a point but what about the summaries??? He wants me to summarize summaries. Injustice, even in a recession, cannot stand.
In summary …
