A bit of bragging....

I don't often include stories on our blog about John's work. I guess most of it is completely irrelevant to our family, and lets face it, once you have kids your whole life revolves around them. But there has been a noteworthy event that I thought I would blog about even though it will take a bit of an explanation for the news to seem that big.

Friday was John's last day of doing misdemeanor work. On Monday he will begin working on a felony team! Why is this news big you ask...because no prosecutor (as far as I know) has ever done that in his office before. Being a true government job any ladder climbing is almost always based solely on seniority. First you are on a magistrate team (handling misdemeanors), then you advance to a juvenile team, then you get put on a prelim team (a felony prep team of sorts), and then finally you work your way up to a felony team.

Needless to say everyone that John skipped now hates him. I'm just assuming that they do because I think I might. But I'm just excited for him. This whole thing is also kind of comical because ever since John started he has felt like he would never get to a felony team because there were just too many people that had to quit or advance for him to ever get there. And here he is starting on a felony team less than a year after passing the bar! (Now we are just hoping they remember how much they love him when raise time comes around this fall).
