Work, work...





Work, work...






Life
is, well, strange. After getting married, moving to California from
Texas, going through all the Hell involved in a move like that,
changing careers, my Mother passing away, and countless other smaller
things, I'm hoping that life will settle down just a bit.


Working in a law office is quite a bit different than doing
engineering. Engineering is based on an exact science, and is
therefore governed by unchanging sets of rules - predictable patterns.
Although Law is based on as logical and objective a thought process as
humanly possible, the things in life that make laws necessary are not.
Human emotion, which is what always gets us into trouble, is
tumultuous. Actually, it's not the emotions that are the problem, but
how we allow ourselves to act and react when we're under the influence
of emotions. It seems that over the past few months, I've seen more
stupid behaviors, more irrational decisions, than I have seen in many
years.


It is interesting, however, how even the most rational people become
when they are under the stress of a divorce or facing jail time.


Life is indeed, well, strange.
