Do you ever feel like the dumbest of all dumb asses?
I had a really sucky day at work today and am feeling quite incompetent. Some days I think I've got this attorney thing down; on days like today I feel so incredibly stupid, as though I'll never catch on. I survived law school and passed the bar exam - you'd think I could handle any challenge now! But I just feel really dumb and am having to fight to maintain some semblance of self-confidence.

SIGH.

2. I'm sorry.
I feel that way too sometimes. But mostly because I took a few years off to stay at home with my daughter. I feel like my brain (and 7 years of college) are leaking out my ears. Look at it this way: how many people are smart enough to pass the bar? How many people have the fortitude to stick through that many years of college?

I think some days we just have run-ins with people who manage to make us feel like shit. Period. Its not you. Now go watch Scrubs and the Office and laugh.

3. Often, and I don't even play a lawyer on TV!
You, on the other hand, shouldn't worry about it - you're just having some unjustified but completely normal worries. You'll be fine - if not, sue me!

4. being new in a job will automatically make you feel like a dumbass
even really mundane stuff like where the ladies' room, or where the coffee supplies are, or when you should go to lunch can be very intimidating

When do you want to grab supper after work?
