I think last year was filled with so many highs in your life that this year (since the honeymoon) is normal and you're not used to that. Most people have insecurities about their job, I know I have tons about how I will handle my new job. If it is bothering you, though, do what mother is suggesting and what sister did when she was having her insecurities - ask for a review of your work. I'm sure they will tell you that you are brilliant, but they will also tell you what areas you need to work on so that you will be asked to go to trial with Senior Name Partner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33489167.post-13868348720791952152006-12-01T05:45:00.000-08:002006-12-01T05:45:00.000-08:00I am a 6th year attorney, and I find that the more...I am a 6th year attorney, and I find that the more years I have "under my belt," the more I realize that I don't know about various aspects of the law. I recall having spoken to your father about this a while ago, and he said something very similar about his own experience. This is a profession where nobody, including the partners for whom you work, knows all there is to know -- everyone is learning every day in this profession. That's my first point. My second point is if someone is making you feel like you are inadequate, well, that's just ridiculous -- as a 2nd year attorney, you're not supposed to have all or even most of the answers, and that should be universally understood and accepted in a law firm. If there is a partner whose expectations are different or who is making you feel inadequate, etc., I think it's time to have a talk with a trusted partner or mentor in your shop -- that should just not be happening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33489167.post-82422904583336278362006-11-30T21:55:00.000-08:002006-11-30T21:55:00.000-08:00People are talking about you my dear.

I hate people who think that those who went to Ivy Leagues are smarter and more capable than the rest of us. Taking a test well (LSATs are evil) means bupkes.<br /><br />I'm not sure what else to say except that we all know you are awesome and I'm sure that your employers get that as well. In the meantime, enjoy the reasonable hours!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16279999850117456433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33489167.post-75827393156644378602006-11-30T18:26:00.000-08:002006-11-30T18:26:00.000-08:00Oooh as a (relatively) new lawyer I am filled with...Oooh as a (relatively) new lawyer I am filled with insecurity. I really think it's the profession - filled with hyper-competitive people (which isn't my personality at all) and the job itself is largely about second guessing things (no, the case stands for that, or no, that case doesn't apply here, or yes, it does). If you find the solution let me know.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887803142491240945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33489167.post-34282594370741452222006-11-30T16:39:00.000-08:002006-11-30T16:39:00.000-08:00GEORGIA TECH IS PLAYING IN THE ACC CHAMPIONSHIP GA...GEORGIA TECH IS PLAYING IN THE ACC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME ON SATURDAY, and you're writing and insecurity at work... priorities, sissy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33489167.post-56591204657601792052006-11-30T12:09:00.000-08:002006-11-30T12:09:00.000-08:00It's hard to know what to think in a situation lik...It's hard to know what to think in a situation like that.<br /><br />I would say just make sure (in a subtle way) that others know you're still around...check in with them and ask if they have follow-up questions or concerns. <br /><br />Beyond that, I don't know.<br /><br />This is my first time here - I'm a blogging chick like you.
