Breaking The Law - Part Two

Not that anyone keeping up with this blog has been waiting with baited breath... but I apologize for not staying more current. Mt latest gig, also located in DC, has taken a lot of the slack out of my evening time so that if I do get online, I don't have the concentration to put together a couple interesting, let alone coherent paragraphs.

If you haven't guessed by now, my client company is involved in the legal profession (hence the title) which just absolutely warms the cockles of Cathy's heart. In the interest of company privacy, I can only say that some dishonesty by a prior employee resulted in a massive cash loss. So my main duty is to help clean up that situation in preparation for an upcoming annual audit.

My boss has instilled a lot of faith in my abilities which in turn has given me a lot more confidence in my decision making and ideas. Also, having to create accurate results from spotty if not also intentionally misleading information went from being from a frustrating endeavor to a growing experience. So I feel like I've gotten a lot out of the experience already.

Both my boss and recruiter have each said to me separately that the company would probably want to hire me if not for the lack of available funds. I'd say that I wouldn't mind either... but after my previous rush to judgment at the wind joint, I'm hesitant to make a similar declaration of enthusiasm. I do know that I intend to make more of an effort to find something permanent when I return from the Summer of Love tour. While I'd like to go further in my transition to other careers, the reality is that I need to make a decent living, especially if I'm going to invest in further education to accomplish those career goals.
