I love my new boss

I started a new job last Monday. I'm working part time for an attorney whose office is about 50 feet from the square. I knew I'd like working for him because he still has his "Ben Masel for Sheriff" poster in his window.

Anyway, he feels his contribution to our fight in the Capitol is to make sure I can keep doing my legal observing during the sing alongs. So every day at about 11:45, he says, "you'd better get going, or you'll be late!" I didn't get back to the office until almost 2:00 today, because of the nasty arrests, and making sure people were available to do jail duty. Still, my boss took the time to ask how things went, and expressed his outrage at what had happened. Later in the afternoon, when I asked him what he wanted me to work on next, he said, "you probably should take a break and catch up on messages from people. Your phone is probably blowing up." He then let me leave early so I could be down to the jail in time for CJ's release.

If anyone needs a bankruptcy attorney, let me know. I can steer you in the right direction.
