Ah, the exhilirating life of a paralegal! Makes my accountant worklife seem pretty mundane. Oh wait, that's the definition of an accountant's worklife. Anyways, have fun in Indianapolis!
Ugh - I'm sorry hon, it does not sound like you are going to have a fun few weeks out there. But hopefuly everything will go well and you get to come home soon!
I don't know what to say. Your life as a paralegal could fit into a movie along the lines of "The Devil Wears Prada," where the little guy knocks herself out to make the big guys look good! You do have a way of making others look good. That's not a bad thing. Enjoy Indianapolis, if you can!
The newly crowned Miss America is from Indiana. I just threw that in. :>)
I once felt your pain. I am most sorry.
Hope everything goes well...
Sweet hotels are good and can sometimes make up for all the other crap. And a change of pace can be good sometimes, right? And by the way, I forgot to tell you that I love your new hair!
Ummm...what's a war room?
