My Next Move

Its been a while since I have posted anything on my blog. The past two weeks at work were hectic and the end result was our homicide unit being disbanded. Unfortunately we received a lot of negative press that we did not deserve, and to add insult to injury, it was negative press behind a case the office should have never accepted from the police department. There is no evidence whatsoever in that case, and if/when the defendant file bar complaints, I don't want to be named and accused of prosecutorial misconduct. I have tried to look at this from different angles, and the fact is I am not adapting well to my new assignment in the office. I have been made a "super senior" in a section of court, and it appears to be okay. I think the division superiors will allow me to pick cases in the section that I want to try, and not have to deal with court on a daily basis. That's not a bad gig I suppose. However, I think I am really beginning to see that maybe its time for me to look for other employment outside the office. Somewhere inside of me I know I like what I do, but with the chain of events that took place last week, I have a totally different respect (or lack thereof) for the leadership in the office. I find it difficult to even say I like the people I work for and represent when I go into court. Maybe in a month things will change in terms of my attitude. But today there are people in that office I want to avoid seeing altogether.
