Psychosis*

These are the capsule summaries of the ridiculous number of conversations I had today with a more junior associate, in trying to decide whether I should shuffle off a last-minute hearing onto him, or whether I should go myself:

Yes, sure, no problem, I'll go.
Oh, but wait -- no.
I think maybe not. I mean, it's far.  And easy. Good experience for you.
So, yeah, you take it.

(an hour later)
Nevermind, I'll take it back. I should.
But then again...
Well, what if....?
I mean, maybe I should. Yeah, I will.
No, it's fine, really, I'LL DO IT. GOD. stop doubting me!
...

(five minutes later)
Um. You know what? You're gonna go.

****

I think they might just revoke this woman's prerogative. And honestly, I don't know as how I could really disagree with them....

*Which reminds me: does anyone else remember how, in the trippy last six episodes of "Felicity," they kept insisting that Felicity's "I'm from the future" craziness was "psychosis"? Was that not just the oddest thing ever? I mean, I skipped a fair amount of psych classes, but I'm fairly certain that someone's entire diagnosis is not just "psychosis." And yes, I know that Felicity ended like five years ago, BUT THAT'S JUST HOW MUCH IT BOTHERED ME. shut up.

Mmm... Noxema. That's how much those commercials did NOT bother me. Wait, she wasn't the Noxema girl was she? Oh well, her curly hair was nice. That show was solid, a reason for the existence of the WE channel. Never caught the last season though, so can't offer anything regarding the psychosis stuff. Then again, I haven't really offered anything anyway.

Hm. Mostly true, although, the contribution of a new, exciting (albeit potentially litigation-inspiring) hiring slogan can't be overlooked...
