Its on.

Word got around about the fight I had with troll ho. Of course they all took her side. Now they are calling me Paris Hilton. It seems that one of the lawyers, most likely the beeyotch who rejected me blabbed about my trustfund.

It like all of a sudden like high school with the clique who choose a girl they do not like. ] Its noticeable because they all went to lunch without me. Usally one of them asks if I am interested in going to lunch and we end up going to Hale and Hearty.

I am going to try to ignore this and hopefully it will all go away.

PP, since you are the low person on the totem pole (until another intern arrives!), I would suggest that you swallow your pride and try to smooth things out. This job is not about learning the law; it's about learning how to deal with an office environment, which is a tricky place. Many people spend their whole lives trying to figure it out and find themselves at the wrong end of feuds, squabbles, and general misery.

As someone who learned gradually how to deal with work life (after many years of bumbles and mistakes), I would say that you can never go wrong being the sunniest, most charming person on the block. It works when you're at the entry level and it continues to work as you rise. If you are the person who not only gets things done but does so in a way that makes others happier when you're around, you will benefit. I'm not talking about being a patsy or a pushover; I'm talking about trying to surround yourself with a kind of good-will aura that says, "I like it here, I like working with you." People really respond to that. Keeping a candy jar on your desk (if you have a desk) is also good, as long as you have the willpower to keep yourself from dipping into it - something I am only intermittently successful at.

My best suggestion is to try to figure out where the communications breakdown occurred. Go to the paralegal and say "I'm sorry that we got into a fight. I was upset because I got into trouble, and I can see now that that happened because we got our wires crossed. What can we do to make sure this doesn't happen again?"

Stop giving her advice! It's funnier when we can just watch her flounder...

Who wants to bet PP is blowing off steam by plowing through a few gallons of Ben and Jerry's right now? Any takers?

Wait, that's no different then any other day.
