ALCOHOLISM is my favourite -ISM

I've been working at [local law firm] for a little while now. It's supposed to be a short term thing so it defies reason why these guys act as though they actually care that I'm properly exposed to real work. When I started there I believed that they would just throw me a bone every week or so to keep me from complaining (no-one wants that). But no! They insist on giving me real work. Who would have guessed?

They have also given me an office with a fab view. This place is growing on me despite my insistence that smaller law firms are not where I want to be as I'll never make partner or rule the world. And I'm shocked they have not thrown me out given my pathetic, naive attempts at rebutting their legal arguments (read: my belligerent attitude when back-chatting and arguing against every point they make).

But the best part about my new job is that not only are they all alcoholics, a non-so-secret stash can be found in every office (including mine) but the cafe in the building is licensed and does deliveries. If there was ever a doubt in my mind that I had made the correct career choice it's gone now. Bring it on.

YES! I am so happy I decided to go into this profession. I'm discovering new perks every day! I havve a sudden inexplicable urge to visit the Liquor Depot over lunch.

I though about it, though not for long 'cause it's really easy: I think my 2nd most favourite ISM would have to be narcissism....yup, definitely a good one!
