I'm right on top of that, Rose!

I've been watching a lot of The Good Wife on Hulu. I'm trying to catch up and I'm finally on season four. It has the guy from 'Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead' -- he played Brian who worked at Clown Dog. Sue-Ellen (the main character) worked there for about a minute before she quit. Not that I blamed her, her manager was obnoxious BUT he was probably better than her bosses boyfriend who kept sexually harassing her once she got a different job.


I guess I should back up. If you've never seen the movie, let me give you the run-down: Sue-Ellen is a seventeen year old girl played by Christina Applegate whose summer plans were ruined by her (in my opinion) neglectful mother. Her mom decides to go out of the country with her boyfriend leaving her FIVE children (Sue-Ellen, Kenny, Zach, Melissa, and Walter) with an old-ass babysitter who seems really sweet at first. I don't use the term "old-ass" lightly, y'all. She. Was. Old. 
       This old lady ends up being a tyrant so when she dies in her sleep, the kids don't mourn her. They seem alarmed but barely. Instead they do what I imagine all kids would do in this situation -- they wrap her up and decide to put her on the steps of a funeral home -- unknowingly leaving all the money their mom had left them for the whole summer with the old woman. 
       Once this fact is discovered, fight or flight kicks in and Sue-Ellen gets a job at Clown Dog -- a local chili dog fast food place. She meets Bryan there but she ends up quitting because she hates it. Since this is pre-internet, pre-credit checks to get a job, she completely fakes her resume and applies for a job as a receptionist at "General Apparel West"  but gets a different (awesome) job instead because her resume is so impressive. 
       She lives a double life of working mom/teenager for a while until it all ends up blowing up in her face. But they all live happily ever after -- except the babysitter. 

Now that you're all caught up, I have to say that I dream of a day when a seventeen year old could make up a completely fabricated resume and land an awesome job that probably paid like a real adult job and nobody blinked an eye (except David Duchovney - who was also in this movie). Seriously. I miss the '90s. 

RANDOM BUT TRUE STORY: I have this project I'm doing at work that involves a huge book and anytime I hold it, I imagine I'm holding the QED Report. And then I laugh at myself for being so awesome.

ANYWAY, I've been watching a lot of Good Wife and staring at Bryan from Clown Dog - AKA "Will Gardner" (that's his name on the show) and feeling like, "I could totally be a lawyer..."
I'm crazy like that though. I watched "Orange is the New Black" and thought, "Yeah... I could totally handle prison..."
NO. NO, I CAN'T! I seriously can't handle prison. What is wrong with me that I get these ideas in my head and then I think these things?
Perhaps I could go to law school. Am I smart enough? Sure. Is it likely that I'd get halfway through and give up? Sure.
And anyway, I'm living in this law school/Good Wife fantasy where all the lawyers are as attractive as the ones on the show.
I present to you EXHIBIT A:

Matt Czuchry as Cary Agos -- and apparently he's 36, Ladies and Gentleman... chew on that. 

EXHIBIT B:

Get him his Clown Dog uniform.

I'm sure I could find some legal trouble to get into if real life lawyers looked like this - and I'm sure more women would be in law school instead of acting.

-SIGH- Alls I'm saying is, it's hard to get job in this economy.
