At Least We're All In The Same Boat Slowly Sinking.

I ran into a classmate I graduated with yesterday. I don't know him very well, but we were in a few classes together. We chatted a bit and the topic that naturally come up was "Do you have a job yet?" Nope, we are both underemployed. He was a waiter at a downtown restaurant (Hey lawgeekgurl I can't spell the blasted word too.). He kept in better contact with numerous classmates than I have and told me, "A lot of us are having problems finding a job." I'm oddly comforted by the fact that so many of us are struggling to find legal employment. At least I know it isn't just me having problems.

Professional Development keeps saying jobs will open up after the new year. The beginning of the year is when budgets are known, needs are known, other personnel are back from holiday breaks, and people simply desire to start fresh. I certainly hope so.
