Well folks - when it rains it pours - My secretary found a better job - she is giving me 3 weeks notice tho and said she would still work on weekends if needed. She will be VERY hard to replace though. And I will have to work extra hours to compensate who ever replaces her until the replacement is trained for the job.
If anyone out here really knows how a law office works - it is not the Attorney that runs things - it is the secretary.
Oh well - life goes on
Deb I printed your 6 stages of MLC and am reading it now -
Deb and Laurie - thanks for your insight - it really hits home. Laurie - last Wednesday night I did let C know that the OG REALLY HURT me Big time. But even so. my goal was still the same. - told her that when we first met I waited til she was ready to move our R to the next step and that I would wait now til she was ready again. Deb, in looking at the six stages of MLC it seems that she has entered the 5th stage (withdrawal). Althought it seems that she went through the other stages a lot quicker than the times listed in your article, as I feel she started this journey a little over a year ago. The times listed in the article are very depressing though, maybe she will go through this stage quickly too.
