Back to school

Or work. Whatever.

I went back yesterday, and I'm exhausted. Not getting at least one nap a day has been tough on me for the past two days. Not to mention, I'm feeling completely stupid and out of it around the office. Yesterday, I did something really stupid, and I'm pretty sure the boss was really annoyed with me about it (though he didn't actually say anything to me...he's not the type). Luckily, it wasn't anything significant, but I'm still annoyed with myself.

Today, I got back a decision that the boss seemed to think I really effed up (side note: I didn't necessarily eff it up. There's no authority that deals with the exact criminal code sections and legal issue that the motion I'm working on does. The courts around here are pretty evenly split about whether my decision was right or the decision should go the other way, depending on which angle of reasoning they use. Now I just need to know how the judge wants it to come out, and I'll write it up accordingly. Blah, blah, blah, I'll stop with the legal talk now). Although this is the second time the boss has taken me on as sleep-deprived new mom - and he didn't fire me the first time - I feel like he expects more out of me now that he knows what my normal work product is like. So I'm feeling pressured on top of feeling super tired. Blech.

Regardless, the first couple days back went well, and I'm mostly glad to be back. Hell, it's almost like I never left. Except for the 300 new messages in my e-mail inbox. And the fact that I'm completely behind on my office gossip.
