mojosmom: (Justice)
I went to a dinner tonight of a professional association of which I am a board member. We were giving a "lifetime achievement" award to a hotsy-totsy big firm white-collar criminal defense lawyer and former U.S. attorney who makes more in a week than I do in a year. Speakers included an ex-governor (one of the few unindicted ones). It was actually a rather pleasant evening.

And this made me laugh! I ran into a woman I know who is the colleague of another woman who applied for the job that I had applied for (neither of us got it). And she told me that I'd been Googled! Apparently my "competitor" had googled me and was all worried about me as competition. "Oh, she went there to college! [like anyone cares 35 years later]." "Oh! she's published!" It was pretty funny, and flattering in an odd sort of way.

The guy from my office who was a finalist for the job didn't get it either. I had mixed feelings about that. I think he would have been excellent, but I would have missed him! He's a good guy.
