I have to admit, as much as I moan and groan about work, there's something about wearing a black suit and a string of pearls, paired with some pointed stilettos, that makes me feel incredibly powerful. I feel like I can walk into any room and make people cower at my feet.
Well, perhaps with the exception of the Judge who I'm probably cowering before.
But still. This morning as I walked into the courtroom, I could feel my confidence oozing out of my body and into the surrounding area. I felt young, hot and professional. With my shoulders squared, I went in to see the Judge, pleaded my case and lost but still walked out feeling like a million bucks.
I must admit, there are days when this whole Law Business doesn't seem so bad. Being the only girl on my team also means I seem to end up with the random female clients that the men don't want to handle. Like today for instance, I had a client come to see me about a fairly small matter. Her ex-boyfriend and her still co-habited and she wanted him out while she got to keep the place (Anyone seen the Break-up with Jenn Aniston? That was the first thing to pop into my head). Although the matter was small enough to be dealt with over the phone, she insisted on coming in to see me. The Boss wouldn't have touched the case with a ten-foot pole so he threw me into the deep-end and told me to advise her.
So off I went. I walked into a room that reeked of expensive perfume to find an incredibly attractive woman sitting before me. She was dressed to the nines (complete with a frou frou looking hat!) in a low-cut black dress and perfect make-up and I couldn't help but check out her fantastic cleavage. I mean, the woman was hot! The boys had no idea what they were missing when they dumped this one on me.
I listened to her for half an hour as she ranted about her Ex and her house, nodding empathetically as she spoke. She wanted to know what her legal rights were. I hadn't a clue. Frankly the whole thing just sounded like a nasty couple squabble, certainly nothing to get lawyers involved for. So I told her to change her phone number and change the locks and not to bother litigating. Then I sent her a bill for the "consultation".
