You got what I need

There’s a feeling I’ve always been envious of, let me see if I can explain it in writing.

When I’ve worked for attorneys, which I’ve done before, I’ve always been envious that they know exactly what they’re doing. When they try to tell me what they’re doing, I get confused, a lot of times when I’m working, I don’t have the full knowledge of what’s going on.

I have to ask questions all the time, doing work and wondering if I’m doing it right. And there’s the attorney, typing away, all quiet-like, working on a brief or a piece of writing, researching, whatever. And their wealth of knowledge seems so relaxing to me. That no day is going to hold a total surprise, that they always have a full in-box and know exactly how to handle it.

My day is filled with questions, how do I do this, how do I do that, etc. I realize that this is all a learning process, and I should have all those questions, I’m not denouncing myself for that, but I just kinda wish I had all the knowledge I need to get my job done.

Today though, today is one of those days where I’m cruising, making phone calls, demanding paperwork, typing, writing, working with the assurance of someone who knows what the hell is going on.

It’s rainy, thunderstormy, I have all kinds of cozy beverages to drink, a full in-box of work I know exactly what to do with, it’s quiet, I hear giggles here and there, there’s cookies and answers.

And folks, that’s all I need, cookies and answers.
