Feeling Overwhelmed

I haven't blogged in a while because I've been swamped. The nature of temp work is that it's either feast or famine, and I've been blessed with steady regular temp work for the last few weeks. This is in addition to the weekend job that I hold down to give me health insurance and tide me over during the dry spells. Oh, and I'm still in law school. Needless to say, I'm exhausted. The company I've been temping at is considering hiring me on full-time in the HR department. (Of course, if I had a dollar for every company that has told me that, I would be able to take you out to a nice dinner...)

So, I need to make some choices and changes, and what better way to base major life decisions than by taking a poll of anonymous internet people?

Update: We're going to do this low-tech because I couldn't get the polling software to work properly. If you want to vote, please leave your answer in the comments.

Trudy should...
a) Keep things the way they are. It's only for 2-3 more years, and who needs sleep anyway?
b) Stay in law school part-time and work full-time as Catbert's minion.
c) Switch to full-time law school and graduate with a mortgage sized student loan debt load.
d) Stay in law school part-time and work full-time as a Biglaw paralegal.
e) Forget law school and join the circus.

Ooh...that's a tough one. Because a) you DO need sleep, b) and e) would be fun, and you could use your high school diving team skills in the circus, but probably not good long-term goals, and c) no one likes a mortgage-sized debt load. I guess that I vote for d. Either way...good luck and I hope that things get a little less crazy soon!

I agree with Elisabeth, cuz I know what a) has been doing to you the past little while...although, b) is a good idea if they actually offer you the job, considering how hard it's been finding paralegal work, and c) is a scary, scary prospect...and e) would involve clowns. =(
