Star_Bright Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I just wanted to share some good news with my fellow LS OM/OW forum friends. Today at work I had my first trial, as in, I argued the entire thing myself, and I won. :bunny: I really needed this because I've been so down and so focused on ex MM. Well, I lost my job because I was with him and now my new job is going great... I actually love my new job even though I don't make as much money as I did working for ex MM. It makes me feel good to think positively and focus on something else because for the past few months I *swear* my life's been allllllllll about ex MM ex MM ex MM. Not today; today it's about me and I kicked some butt, woo hoo.
UntoldStory Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 YOU ROCK, SB!!! Seriously, congrats. That has to feel doubly great after all the stuff you've been working through in your personal life. Own it and love it!

You lost a job because of him. That is really bad. You lost your livelihood because of him. Wow. I am so glad you found a better job (and you can always work your way up in salary!!) and I am very happy of your accomplishment today. FOCUS on that; focus on the GOOD things coming into your life and recognize and celebrate the positives!!! Yea SB!!! :bunny::bunny:

donnamaybe Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Good for you! Isn't it wonderful how, after having one's life unraveled over some other undeserving person, we can have a great day like this that WE created ALL BY OURSELVES and realize how truly AWESOME we are?! ROCK ON SISTUH!!!!
2sure Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 See?? You already Remarkable. You are SO above this shyte. Continue to rise.
KarmasTestDummy Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 See?? You already Remarkable. You are SO above this shyte. Continue to rise. I think she always was. But these losers have a way of taking what makes us fabulous on our own two feet, and turning into what Makes us unfabulous by their side. Yay Sb!!!! No way did you do all the prep for the case if you were distracted with wallowing in mm misery, which means you're getting your head back in the game! HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT!
Author Star_Bright Posted October 15, 2010 Author Posted October 15, 2010 Thanks everyone. I'm taken aback by all the responses.... LS is a great place!
Author Star_Bright Posted October 15, 2010 Author Posted October 15, 2010 That is great!! Congratulations, what a way to wash that man right outta your hair. I especially like to hear when people say they luuurrrvvvveee their job. I look forward to the day when I can say that as well. It's funny because when ex MM's wife found out about us and it was pretty clear I was going to lose my job, I was questioning everything, including my career. I thought maybe I'd hooked up with ex MM (my former boss) to subconsciously sabotage my career or something. I didn't like the way ex MM and his partners practiced... too aggressive/ bullying and too deceptive. I thought I wasn't in the right career and I felt stuck because I have student loans and bills etc. and there is no other job that would pay me nearly as much. I was seriously questioning just quitting my career all together, and perhaps moving back towards my family/ home state, where I'm not licensed to practice, and just doing something totally different (which I sometimes think would have been a good idea because as soon as I got back from visiting my family I hooked up with ex MM again... and it was back to the same pattern that had already nearly ruined me! So I probably should have stayed far away!) The only reason I didn't is that I found out that a firm was hiring and I knew one of the main partners from having worked with her in a case at my former firm. I thought she was smart and knew her stuff and it had always seemed like she liked me and my work. So I called her and she was happy I was looking to work at her firm and got me in as soon as I got back from visiting my family, for interviews and to meet the other partners. So it just felt so good to be getting a job based on my own connections and work, rather than having to rely on ex MM. And although I sometimes still question my career field and wish I had the means to do something totally different, I really do like this job and this firm. The people are nice, and smart, and they know their stuff instead of just spouting BS and saying "We'll kick their a$$" without even knowing the issues or facts. And everyone here really likes me and gives me good opportunities like trial and hearings. So if I can just stay focused on work and my positive accomplishments I think I will start feeling emotionally better. I feel down about the past but then I think about what's happening now in my life and I think, well, there's always a silver lining... Thanks LisaLee.
lilbunny Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Do you know that has really made my night. I'm really glad you are feeling positive and have some good news! We'll get there girl, slowly but surely. :bunny:
TaraMaiden Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 This is absolutely awful, I don't know how you can sleep at night. Only kidding. I thought I'd be the one sour lemon and put a damper on things, but you know what? I have to add my 'well done' to everybody else's!! Good for you - in every sense of the word. This has obviously been so good for you. Are we turning a corner? I do believe we are! Hold on to this - you are so worth it!! Very well done!
Fight4Me Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 May I join the ranks in congratulating you?!! I think this news is absolutely fantastic and you should be immensely proud of yourself! :bunny:
Author Star_Bright Posted October 15, 2010 Author Posted October 15, 2010 Aww thanks everyone. TaraMaiden your post was funny and made me laugh.
