Drowning…
posted in Lawyering and the Like |One of the hardest things about being an associate, at least in a big firm, is gauging and juggling your workload. One minute you’re happily swimming along with a relatively manageable load. Nothing due for at least a week, a couple of projects on the backburner, and you’re heading home at 7:00 every day (and yes, it’s an odd, odd world when leaving at 7:00 prompts twinges of guilt and entails sneaking past all the other people still working). Suddenly, everything picks up all at once and you’re drowning in a relentless deluge of paperwork, fighting the currents and wondering if you’ll ever make it upstream to spawn. (Sorry, got caught up in the metaphor.)
It’s been one of those fighting the currents week.
I hope everyone else’s week has been better. I’m heading home to SJ for a much needed break tomorrow…although I’ll be bringing some work home with me…
