Management 101

My management problems began with my drinking. I did something when I was crazy drunk at the age of 18, and I didn't stop running from the memory of it until years later when I took the 4th and 5th Steps in AA. At the age of 20, I decided that I needed to get into a profession where people wouldn't laugh at me if my past became known. An added benefit of being in the legal profession was that I thought no one would ever again tell me what to do. The only real problem with this management decision was that I detested doing just about everything a lawyer does. One time a family member brought me a Bar Association magazine. It was so dry and uninteresting that I couldn't stand to read it. In undergraduate school, I refused to take optional pre-law courses because I disliked the ones I did take so intensely that if I took any more, I wouldn't go to law school.
