hated musical chairs when I was younger. What kind of a cruel fucking game is that, anyway? I mean, what's the point of having there be fewer chairs than kids except to say "All but one of you is good enough"? I sucked at the game. I was a fat kid, and fat kids just don't have the motivation or ability to get to a chair quick enough. Not to mention that my classmates' hatred of me made them conspire, more often than not, to have me lose pretty quickly.

So imagine how much I hate feeling like I'm in a bigger, more important game of musical chairs? Allow me to explain. Job hunting fucking blows. It's that simple. My resume is not unimpressive, if I do say so myself. And yet, shitty firms from Milwaukee don't even want to interview me. What in the hell is that shit?

In short, I have been freaking out all day that all of the lawyer jobs in the world, of which there are very few, apparently, have already been filled.

Look, all I want is to be a litigator in a mid-sized law firm in Chicago. Is that too much to ask? Apparently, it may be.

see, as a fat kid you could have been awesome at musical chairs by crowding other kids out. i am sorry to hear that the job search is frustrating. i doubt that you have already applied to all the firms in chicago--keep at it and throw your weight around, so to speak.
sorry if i am pollyanna-ish, life in a new country has forced it upon me.

it is utterly awesome. even getting a stomach bug was awesome, because i got it the night before i started teaching and was still able to make it the next day. i can order an iced coffee without humiliating myself. soon we will have a scooter, and then i will truly know the meaning of awesome.
