Yes- zero regrets about the down time

like

We are primarily closed, but I also handle some work for some out of state attorneys also on a contract basis, so I’ve just been doing their depo transcript summaries and earning money, while also doing any work needed at the firm since I’m completely caught up on my case load and also not required to work during this time, really. I’m just the managing paralegal so I ensure I’m able to assist with all other paralegals and support staff. I also work from home too, so it makes it easier to juggle.

I am so busy I could cry.

Consistently busy

It’s been pretty quiet for me but I can’t enjoy it because it’s messing with my billable hours. Not so great when you have a requirement.

Ain’t that the truth. Best of luck to you

To those with too much work, it’s a problem I wish I had at this time (currently unemployed). To those with not a lot of work right now, enjoy this down time. As we know, it all ebbs and flows. Whatever your situation, have a happy and healthy end of the year, folks.

Nope. Was hoping for some down time to take care of some of the less urgent tasks that pile up, but so far no luck.
