Raquel Smith future (sexy, funny, adorable, and of course humble) Attorney at Law

Alritey, I'm new at this but I've been wanting to start a blog and am glad that the 3 of you did it, because clearly I was never going to get around to it! Anywho, I sent this email out in late September '08 (that's why info and dates will be a little off whack) while I was working at my old job in a corp. law firm as an "admin. assistant" which apparently is synonymous w/ phone answerer person that has to smile like a robot all day - besides the free wine on Fridays, a few really awesome people, and the opp. to be on facebook ALL DAY (literally!) it was pretty dreadful...so to give you all a little peek into my former miserable job (and we all know if you work F/T your job becomes the majority of your life so i guess i could insert "life" where the word "job" is after the word "miserable") please continue reading...

Soooo, I'm at work right now, dreadfully B-O-R-E-D and I have to pee but I can't until someone comes to my desk to cover for me. In the meantime, I thought "hey why not send out an email so that way you can stop thinking about having to pee?" So, until then I will be updating you all with my current situation... I'd like to start off w/ a quote to get me (and all of you) "in the mood" (hey! get your mind outta the gutter!!!)

"The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible."

(if you're thinking, "is this wat she does at work - 'google' inspirational quotes?" you're partially right) however i'd like to add that i also facebook, read people's blogs/news articles/trashy and/or inspirational novels, drink LOTS of coffee, eat fun size snicker bars & reduced fat cheddar sunchips (i'm on a diet), study for LSAT's, and say... "hi, how are you?"...."i'm fine thanks for asking" ohhh ummmm about 40 times a day, give or take - so, clearly I'm quite a busy girl...lol. I also walk by (on my lunch and/or 15 min break, numerous times a day), lawyers' offices who I think are cute!! (i kno...how pathetic can I get?!)

*side note*
(in my best ghettoJennyfromdablockvoice, ahem) ****u KNOW i work it out ladies - gotta get that hubby sooner than later! lol j/k....or am i?***** So far one of them is a chain smoker (and a "dirty dog" accdg to one secretary), the other one is on his honeymoon as we speak (I didn't know, I swear!), the 3rd turned out to be GAY, (dunno how i missed that) and now we talk about his puppy everyday, haaaayyy, it's like so frickin cute, haaayy! and the 4th is old, like really old (oops!)....sooooo to answer your question, NOO I'm not having a relationship at work, unfortunately (or any for that matter lol)

So, speaking of the LSATs, I am taking them this Saturday, October 4th (for the second time) and I am soooo anxious...My plan is, kinda related to that quote way at the beginning of the email - wow I got really side tracked - and I wanted to ask everyone to think of me at some point Saturday morning, I figure the more positive thoughts I have exuding from myself as well as friends etc., the more "positive energy" I will have coming towards me (make sure to send that "energy" all the way to UMBC, ugh!), and the better I will do on the test...and yes, I jus kinda made that up (I swear I heard it from somewhere before and now I whole heartedly believe in it, partly because it is my best hope right now). I'm also in the middle of looking for another job - so Daniela, thanks for all the emails you send out, and keep sending them - bc I've been applying to almost every single one! I have a call back interview tomorrow (woohoo!) and am telling the place that I work at now, that I have a "doctor's appointment" even though I just took off on Monday and now I gotta take the morning off Thursday - watever I plan to NOT get too stressed or get rid of my stress via eating and/or smoking ciggos (i kno, i kno i have YET to quit, but i AM working on it - just not this week bc it's tooo hard!). *Speaking of eating, I just finished, my whole bag of cheddar sunchips! dayum that was sposed to last until the end of the week too, s*** man* Ok, soooo I'm still waiting to pee, but writing this email kinda helped to relieve some stress! phew! Thanks for listening you all, lol!!
