Week 8: Spring Break!

24 March, 2008 This week: 0 hrs. Total: 56.0 hrs.

I didn't go into the office today, as I am away on spring break.

There indeed seem to be both pros and cons to the investigation business. If you enjoy it, and are good at it, it might be a really interesting career to have. Certainly more interesting than your typical desk job. There is a certain romance to it, and there is a reason so many TV shows and movies are based on it. On the other hand, you still have to deal with all the garbage that all working people have to, that screenwriters can conveniently ignore. I remember driving around with Kurt on my first day, trying to find a parking place, and thinking to myself they never have a problem finding parking on Law and Order... And besides the obvious stuff like that, there are the facts of running a small business; keeping the books, and payroll and all of that. And of course it's not all cracking cases and stakeouts and investigation 24/7, you still have to deal with people and their problems and mistakes (including your own). Not to mention the inherent slowness, inaccuracy, and bureaucracy of the legal system and the government. But all in all, if you enjoy the work, it seem like a pretty interesting career.
