Dear Diary,
I was walking through Central Park today (unfortunately, I live too far to walk there so couldn’t bring the dog and large dogs aren’t allowed on the subway or buses) and there was a young guy selling water for $1. He didn’t look like the “regular” vendors and his cooler wasn’t one of those large red and white plastic ones the regular vendors tug but one of those small cloth ones that frat boys keep in the back of their car for beer picnics. There was also something odd about the way he was yelling out “cold water, one dollar!” He seemed a little embarrassed every time someone turned him down.
I have a feeling he was laid off or just graduated college or even law school and had his job offer revoked or just couldn’t get a job.
This market really sucks.
For everyone.

whenever i interview the first thing they want to know about is my former law firm. when i'm put on the spot i feel like there's a secret agenda. since i'm not hired yet, the votes stack against me. i fear i have been blacklisted.
there are too many laid off attorneys for you to really be worried that you're blacklisted unless you did something outrageous…even then, it's still questionable. Temp agencies, on the other hand, enjoy blacklisting people (I've blacklisted myself with Update Legal and it was fun doing it)
