Please Mop Up This Mess

posted in Lawyering and the Like, WOTWIFLI |

This is not a tidy job.  It frequently spills over into other aspects of my life.  As much as I try to keep it contained, things just keep spilling over.

I was thinking earlier this week that (1) I complain entirely too much about my job (which I actually oftentimes enjoy) and my life (what little I can squeeze in between my work), (2) I am going to be more efficient and not kill all of my weekends, and (3) I should post about things I’m thankful for (believe it or not, I’m generally a very happy, almost irritatingly upbeat person). . . but then I got a load of work yesterday (all urgent), a request (albeit a very nice one) to work this weekend from a partner who does not realize I’ve been working virtually EVERY weekend, and a gentle reminder to keep my hours up (despite the fact that I work all the time, I think I’m particularly inefficient because my hours are average at best).  So yeah, no warm and fuzzy post today.  Just more ranting.  

WOTWIFLI:  Myrmidon.

    well, life sucks and then you die. j/k i need to stop allowing everything i do to revolve around work as well (though mine requires a few less hours than yours). though i love work (most of the time, except for my horrible evil boss), i refuse to become a myrmidon to the man! look at me using big words….i used it correctly, yes?

    G – You are brilliant, both in your use of myrmidon (love the alliteration btw) and in your observational skills! You’re the first to notice yours and KQ’s changed cyber-status. =) And I don’t know, judging from what KA tells me, y’all work as hard as any lawyers I know! We probably just complaint more. =)
