You just walked out of Court where the Judge chewed you up and spit you out. As a result, you are ready to tear up your Bar Card. Instead, perhaps you should get a pet!
You just concluded a meeting with your "Client from Hell." It reminded you (again) why you gave that client that label. You are ready to "jump off a bridge." Instead, perhaps you should get a pet!
You just finished a Meeting Of The Firm where every decision made was contrary to your best judgment. You're ready to quit the Firm. Instead, perhaps you should get a pet!
The State Bar just called to inform you that a client has filed a formal Complaint against you and, to make matters worse, it was your "best" client. Now you are really ready to call it quits. Instead, perhaps you should get a pet !
If you think the whole World is against you and wants to do you in, perhaps you should get a pet.
A pet will give you "unconditional love." And, who doesn't need (and long for) that?
Whether it be a dog, or a cat, or a gold fish, or even a rat - - a pet is something you can talk to without talking back; something that will listen to your every complaint and (you will think) sympathize with you all the while; something that will love you unconditionally, and accept you for what you are.
As bad as your day at the office (or in Court) may be, your pet will be waiting for you at home, and be happy that you have come home. And, as you walk through the door, your pet will visibly demonstrate its love for you (unless, of course, your pet is a gold fish or a rat) - - certainly a lot more than those SOB's back at the office or in the Halls of Justice.
But, bear this in mind - - just as you have to "clean up the messes" created by your clients, you will also have to clean up the messes created by your pet. However, cleaning up the messes created by the latter will not cause you to lose sleep at night.
