Does anyone feel weird if everyone else seems busy but you aren’t? This past week I’ve been having a slow 50% week due to deal flow, but still have things to do. Past couple weeks have been busy/busy ish (75-80%). If I go to resourcing and let them know, they’ll probably staff me on a whole new deal which I don’t have the capacity for. I have capacity for small tasks, but that’s never really the case at law firms. I remind myself to unwind while I have more time but can’t help feeling off!

Of course, totally normal. It’s nice to have a day where it’s slower but after that it gets frustrating. As long as you use what time you have as wisely as you can until things pick up - eg trainings, pro bono, self-review etc, the time will pass quickly until you’re fully busy again

Need Suggestion.

I am the only developer in my team and my manager has assigned me a project in which I need to create a tool from scratch although that is currently running in production build by third party and we don't have access to that code.

I am on notice period and I am 100% sure that project won't be completed before my LWD.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.
