looking for a job?

If you're an attorney and looking for a job in Chicago, let me know because I just quit mine.

It was way too much work in an area where I have absolutely no interest. It was essentially document and data management to the absolute extreme. (I'll write about it in more detail later.) The money just wasn't enough of a motivating factor to make me want to spend a vast majority of my waking hours fully engaged in it.

I knew all of this going in, but I was so curious to see that I had to try it. Lesson learned.

So I am now unemployed and face to face with the question that I seem to want to avoid: What exactly am I looking for?

All I know is that it wasn't anything that could have ever come out of that job.

They respected me for leaving when I did. I could have hung around and milked some big paychecks for a couple of months before getting fired, but they really need help and I didn't want to screw them over, so I left on pretty good terms. They asked if I knew anyone who might be interested in the job.

That being said, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless they either 1) have a very serious passion for patent litigation, or 2) are in dire need of money.
