I can't, I can, I won't, I will, I should, I shouldn't

So I saw this over on Colby's blog and for the first time actually felt the urge to do a meme. So here goes:

I can't:

• Work for someone I do not respect. It ends badly for all.
• Extend courtesy to someone who refuses to do the same.
  
• Call someone by their first name until they actually tell me that I can. Until then, everyone is a Mr., Ms., Miss, or Mrs. (as appropriate).
• Forget that I participated in two executions. I was not in the room, but I helped make sure that they happened.
• Forget how amazing it was to see my daughter emerging from Mrs. Angrybell.
  

I can:

• Work on being more tolerant of people who do stupid things.
• Work on restraining my Irish temper when confronted with said people who do stupid things.
• Return phone calls within 24 hours of getting them, even from my that client I just can't stand.
  

I won't:

• Sell out a friend. I will however make fun of them endlessly when they deserve it.
  
• Root for the Dodgers.
• Forgive a certain person. You know who you are. You know what you did.
  
• Turn my daughter into me (or at least a female version of me). She should shoot for better.
• Drink coffee. Its icky.
• Eat squash. I know its good for you and all, but I can't eat it. I figure every adult is allowed one food that they can always say no to. Squash is mine
  

I should:

• Work on being more understanding of Prius and BMW drivers. Its not their fault they were born with a gene that prevents them being considerate on the road (with the exception of my mother, aka Grandma Angrybell. Not Lil Grandma Angrybell, she doesn't drive a Prius).
• Drink more. Seriously, I should, but only with other people. Because drinking alone is just sad.
  
• Rediscover that discipline that I've let lapse since I became a solo.
  
• Finally finish training for an Iron Man and do it. Of course, that would mean starting again. The training that is.
  
• Stop being so damnably fearful.
• Find ways to make more money. Not because I have a particular need for something. Because I know my daughter needs some things. Things she doesn't even know yet.
• Develop a way to market myself that is effective and I can live with. I am so bad at selling myself.
• Not feel guilty about asking to be paid what I am worth.
  

I shouldn't:

• Enjoy certain news items so much.
  
• Enjoy cheese steaks so much. But I do. Especially at the place over on Divisadero.
• Take as many pro bono cases as I do. G-d I sound like Hoskins (bonus points if you can identify the character and the series).
• Take such joy in making other attorneys miserable.
  
• Expect other attorneys to show the basic courtesy that I was taught. Its not their fault they were raised by wolves and educated by hyenas.
