Anyone else having a really quiet work week? I am billing but it feels like it’s not real life right now between COVID and the holidays.

Right there with you. I’m new to my firm/practice area, so I’m using the time to read up as much as possible and get familiar with my cases. That being said, the next couple days are going to be a struggle!

I’m new to the firm and it’s just a slow week in general. Just over here paranoid as hell though because I left my last position because there wasn’t enough work 🥴

If I had gotten more hours in at the beginning of the month I’d have football on one of my monitors. But alas I did not so I do not.

My GC told me to relax for the rest of the week. Don’t have to tell me twice!

Has anyone just been feeling pretty sad and down these past few months? I’ve never really felt this way pre-pandemic but now no matter what I do (workout,talk to friends, yoga) I still feel waves of sadness. I live in a cold city with strict covid lockdowns so I know that that is contributing to my sadness but just wanted to see if anyone else feels like this and how you are coping? I also haven’t traveled or gone on many social outings since last March so Ik that is taking a toll on me as well

I’m in my 2nd year of practice, never heard such a thing. I’ve actually split the cost before! Curious for insight on this…
