It looks like I've been "tagged" by fellow mediation blogger Vickie Pynchon to disclose something personal about myself in her "Five Things You Don't Know About Me" blog tag posting.
First, I am the middle child (and only daughter) between two brothers evenly spaced at 3 years younger and 3 years older than I am. There's something about this dynamic about being the middle child and wanting to foster harmonious relations; that may be one explanation for my gravitation toward mediation.
Second, I was the opinion editor of the newspaper produced by the community college I attended (Cypress College) prior to matriculating to UC Irvine. I had a column titled "Paula Logic" which was a forum for me to write about politics, life and whatever else was interesting to me, kind of like this blog!
Third, I was a private investigator for several years before and during law school. The field of law was a creative way for me to combine writing with the work I enjoyed as an investigator. Luckily for me, private investigation work paid better than many of my law school classmates' bartending jobs or free clerking positions.
Fourth, I'm not a workaholic by any means, but if I won the lottery, I would still work because I love what I do. But I would probably only work a couple days a week. Also, I would have to play the lottery for this scenario to work - but I don't.
Fifth, one of the great things about living in a city like San Francisco is that we do not rely on our cars as much as we would if we lived in the suburbs. Although I have a car and love driving, I love the freedom of not being tied to my car. So I walk and take BART, and even MUNI trains on occasion and, yes, I even wear tennis shoes with my suits and break out my high heels once I'm where I need to be.
I will update this posting when I think of some other bloggers to tag now!
