I'm on episode 11 of the first season. Thanks.

Reading on this has certainly explained much of what I have been struggling with in relationships with other people. <BR/><BR/>I am a South African and we are a little behind in the Boston Legal series. I have been watching Jerry's story unfolding with interest and could certainly identify with the way he managed to not defend his bus driver client's rights. I truly appreciated Alan Shore's comment of him being an innocent in a very personal way. The apparent outcome of his behaviour modification in the episode was funny in a scary way. Luckily my therapist's aim seems to mainly get me to just be and not to change me in any spectacular way. Relief. <BR/><BR/>This week I stood up for my right to be heard and reckoned at work. A large part of my decision to do this was inspired by the memory of Jerry's situation where his performance reviews mentioned that he did great work but could not be considered as partner material. My performance reviews over the past 5 years have been spectacularly traumatic with a line manager whose comments would range from: “You sigh before presentations” (first perf review – made me cry all the way home) to “Your tendency to come over as arrogant detracts from success achieved” (after managing to deliver on an impossible project with 20+ people without much support from management – hard for me – I cried again) to “I shall give you a good reference but I shall mention that you are unable to work with difficult people” . (Manager one of the main reasons to start seeing the therapist. I shall probably end up being forever thankful to her.) So this time when I felt not seen in a restructure at work, I made my position clear in the best way I was able to. Afterwards in the euphoria of being able to consciously do this and not run away, I felt I had vindicated Jerry in some small way. This was important to me. Thanks Boston Legal.<BR/>MSAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794893825407092443.post-51819327218304429092007-05-09T23:14:00.000-04:002007-05-09T23:14:00.000-04:00Hey, write a treatment and send it in.
