Responsibility. Thats a word that some find difficult to understand. Some think it is a word that is meaningless. When people depend on you, it is a powerful word. I am working with someone who literally has no clue and does not seem to know what is expected of their position.

What am I rambling about? Well, I am on a journal at school and we all have duties and well..let me put it this way: If for some reason, we took all the letter "o" off the keyboard, this is how this phrase will look!!::: If fr sme reasn, we tk all the letter "" ff the keybard, this is hw this phrase will lk!! Okay, maybe it will have partial meaning if you are slightly intelligent butI hope I made my point.

To digress, I have a nasty cold and have been sneezing all day. I am either allergic to the above individual or I just really have a cold. Most people sneeze twice in a row when they do sneeze, I am averaging 5 sneezes per episode...now thats embarrassing when you are doing that in class. I wont blame my classmates who want to cover their nose. I would actually have loved to skip my last class but I am sure the professor wouldnt have bought it if I told him I was sick and trying to sneeze in his presence may seem like I am faking it!! Hmm, what to do, well I went to class and kept sneezing, I think I had 4 episodes for twenty sneeze. You think I can sell the DVD of that....yeah, me funny joke, me make you think you all wet....literally.

Did I tell you yesterday that whoever said that your life as a 3L would be easier lied...they lied through their teeth. I need to lobby my congressman to see if we can extend the day by another 3hours. On second thoughts, that may not be a good idea. Can you imagine what a law firm would do with that? You think you have to do a minimum of 2000 hours a year, well now, they would just increase it to 3000 hours if we extended the day any further. I am sure they would even advocate a day to make it 8 days a week. Now what would you call that day. For some reason, Zomday comes to mind. Wait let me ask Merlin what he thinks: Merlin has no idea, I will let him think about it and call him in 5 years after we have racked up approximately a combined 22,ooo hours at our firms.

Come to think of it, you know how the pollution problem was "solved" in the United States a couple of years back? You were only allowed to pollute a certain amount but if you polluted more, you could buy pollution rights from someone who polluted less...are you with me? okay, take that concept to law firms....If you are unable to make your firms 2000 hour requirement, why cant you just call up your law school buddy at another firm or better yet, within your firm and buy his extra hours from him or her. Now you may have to pay them the equivalent of their expected bonus for hitting their hours but at least you will have the hours to avoid being tagged as a loser-slacker!!!! Neat idea hmmm but will our egos allow it??? My hours are bigger than yours!!

Okay, my students should be coming back soon, so I have to pretend like I have been thinking about Negotiations for the past 75mins they have been negotiating. I love this class!!!
