New job, New danger!

I'd been keeping it a bit quiet (!) but my current job is a bit shit. And secretly I've been yearning for something else.

So I applied at a law firm as an Administrative Assistant. What does that mean? Donkey work mostly, but I can walk to walk in less than 5 minutes, and I can see my office from my balcony.

The company specialises in being defense attorneys for insurance companies and Cities. Like if someone was suing Telford, Phil Homer (or whoever) would call us. The rest of the stuff is all Mesothelioma/Asbestosis defense.

Ethically, I have a bit of a problem with that. I edited a documentary about Mesothelioma, so batting for the other team seems a bit odd.

Money is better, prospects are better. I can't rent a nice apartment or buy a new car. Infact I'm not going to see any monetarial benefit! But this is definitely a step in the right direction.

I get health insurance, life insurance, child care benefits, pension. The full monty. and more importantly, a professional environment!

So, I am now going to hand in my notice. I have a feeling the shit is going to hit fan. I am going to take pictures of the people I work with, so you can see what I've been up against.
