Edinburgh

[raven]

I'm in Edinburgh! It is very wet! I am still alive! My shoes are possibly not! Everything is ridiculously picturesque! I saw Mort! Death wore an apron with "Harga's House of Ribs" on it! There have been elephants! (Well, not real ones.) And books! And bookshops, and pubs, and extinct volcanoes, all with dogs!

Oh, and, the interview I just had was all right. Not great, not awful, but all right. And I had a horrible horrible realisation in the middle of the night that I will never be the sort of lawyer who makes any money. More later when dry.

(Also, I am being read to in Martian, and I got to the next stage of the GLS, and I think I may possibly have another interview post-August-17th. Life is chaotic. But good. I wish I had better shoes.)

Y'know, as long as that goes along with being a happy lawyer, then that's one of the best ways to be. Making it all about the money is very much the wrong way round, so try not to worry about it or being a particular type of lawyer (largely because all the ones who will be joining The Firm same time as me appear to be, well, dull. Decidedly not geeks :s)

The interview I just did was for a really rather notable firm - certainly the most notable of the ones I've applied to - and I thought the other applicants were... well, dull. And then my brain kept right on ticking over to legal aid and civil liberties and things I would be happy doing, dammit. Which is all a long way of saying yes, yes, you are absolutely right. :)
