Fiscal Year

Well, Friday at work was just about one of the worst days at work I've had in a long time. No one single thing was disaster, but a bunch of annoying and unpleasant things added up to one bad July 9th.

But fear not.

It was the end of my fiscal year, because, see, on Sunday I had a birthday. So, July 9 was my last day as a 28-year-old lawyer. Today I started anew. A new fiscal year. A new settlement; a new kind of hearing (fighting to get my fees paid after winning the substantive case); and then wine with Brianna.

I don't do New Years resolutions much, but I do feel contemplative at my birthday. I like to think about the year ahead- things to change and ways to grow. Or whatever.

Here's what I've got so far for age 29:

- Stop fidgeting. This include clicking pen tops and unraveling paper clips. Immediately.

- Get regular pedicures. Shallow, you say? Then you haven't seen my feet. This is $40 well spent.

- Do new stuff in my practice. Done! What? On the first day of the fiscal year 29, I already did it! I had an attorney fee hearing which is a Work Comp hearing I'd never done before. So, now for the next 363 days, it's time to try out some more. Go.

- Teach Johan to write his name. (that might be in the 4th quarter of my current fiscal year.)

Let's vamos! Time to seize 29.
