because i feel bad for complaining.

things i love about my job.

1. i can get away with constantly gchatting, facebooking, blogging, and reading the nytimes.  

2. i work just a couple blocks away from central park. when the weather is nice, i spend my lunch hours on a bench, with a book and a sandwich. 

3. i work with some genuinely nice people. the other day when i was getting ready to leave, i overheard eduard telling sophie that i was going to make some guy very happy one day. 

4. i work with some genuinely attractive lawyers. 

5. everyone loves when i bring in baked goods. it makes me feel appreciated. even if, according to mckatie, it means i'll never get very far in my career. 

6. i love when someone comes in with a question and i know exactly how to find the answer. it always makes me want to call my mom and say, "guess what? i've got mad research skillz!"

7. my boss is always helping me network. after spending several decades working at the new york city bar library, he knows most of the law librarians in the city. and everyone loves him. so, by default, all of the old law librarians ooh and ahh over me as well. (until i open my big mouth and remind everyone that i am 40 years younger than they are. suckas.)

8. if the worst thing that happens to me during the day is that some silly newsletter doesn't get delivered and a lawyer yells at me, than i am much luckier than most people in the city. my job is not stressful at all. no one dies if i make a mistake. economies do not crash if i make a mistake. 

ah, i feel much better now.
