Received another call from the lawyer friend in Muar. He says he urgently in need of a legal assistant for his legal firm. He asked me whether I would help him out by working for him. He sounds desperately in need of a few legal assistants. Seems that one of the LA is resigning, another one is going for further studies and another one is going for maternity leave in December.
Last July, he made the offer to me and I declined it. Now, I have another day to pray and consider the second offer. My mind is a bit more open to the offer now compared to the previous time. I say "abit" because of various factors involved. Firstly, I have not been getting any salary from the business for the past 2 months. Secondly, I do not like the feeling of living on my wife earnings. Yes, my wife earns and supports the family all these time.
Of course there are many factors that are against accepting the offer. These are (not in priority order) distance to office, traveling everyday, old car, different body clock, learning back the law, going back to the court, dressing smartly, no time for the family, children had to be with MIL and SIL (not a conducive environment), no more interest in law, and others lah.
Oh ya, I have already gave out the news that I would like to sell the business if there are interested buyer at a reasonable price. The business is doing okay, the only problem is that I do not have a salary. The income is enough to cover all expenses (including a staff's salary). Hoping to sell the business at 80K. If there are people who is willing to buy, then I will sell it.
If this happens, the chances of me be more willing to go back to practice law is higher. But the business is not sold yet, the children's babysitting arrangement with MIL should not be changed within the next two months, and I still not ready yet to be a lawyer again. Well, I still enjoy doing computer stuffs, hopefully with a salary lah.
p/s.. any of you knows anybody who wants to work as a lawyer (legal assistant) in Muar, do let me know.
