The Heavens Have Opened

So, it turns out that my office is reorganizing. Not the whole firm, just my particular office.

We're going to have, essentially, a bankruptcy group and a litigation-and-other-stuff group.  This makes sense, per the Main Office's edict that they'd like this office to branch out and develop substantive practices that are not bankruptcy.

We're going to be hiring a new bankruptcy para who has some experience. This will be a first for the office. My office loves to hire young kids out of college to whom they can pay beans (*waves*) and expects them to learn the job instantly.  Our existing para, plus 'boss' and wife's personal assistant, will comprise the bankruptcy group.

N and T (the other cool attorney) will be the everything-else group. With one dedicated paralegal. Me. I will not only be their paralegal, I will be their everything (paralegal/admin/secretarial). That's fine by me.

The process has already begun of the bankruptcy cases I work on being reassigned. I'm beyond cool about that.

My job from hell has now become tolerable. Probably. We'll see how things go. All I'm saying is that working for N and T will be great. They're brilliant attorneys, ridiculously fun to be around, have interesting cases and respect me as a person and employee.

Corporate Paralegal:
Great news!!! So glad to hear that things are finally working out for you.  Well deserved.

Momalegal:
Congrats!  That sounds awesome!  :)

Things are going great so far. I have done interesting legal research, read cases as to pertinent arguments, met with attorney to discuss said research, had an hour-long strategy session, and walked away tasked to do a rough draft of a complaint for the attorney to play with.

Oh yeah, and been thanked for putting in the time to read the cases and given the opportunity to do something challenging for an attorney I respect.

It appears I forgot to mention that 'boss' is no longer managing shareholder of the office, but has been given a new title to salve his ego. Thus, he's no longer my boss. Best of all? When 'boss' tried to rope me into doing bs work on one of his cases, N (a partner who is now on equal footing with 'boss') said that if it continued, he'd be having words either with 'boss' or the new managing shareholder. T, late today, said to me "We're going to fix this" (as in, boss's attempt to use me just because I happen to be there late doing other work).
