To piggy back, why do say this to me when I ask you a question that doesn’t require a deliverable? I started in house and my only firm experience was boutique, and we have used a variety of outside counsel. It’s always the big firms that say these weird colloquialisms to me that make me 🤦🏽‍♀️… and I HATE it when they get me a draft of something and say “just a few nits” - dude, gross- stop conjuring up lice eggs to me on my document!

How do you deal with burnout? I’m just not feeling it anymore. I keep thinking time off will help but I’m not so sure because it’s winter and not as nice outside up north. I’ve been working for 16+ years with the longest break between jobs at 7 weeks. Never take more than a week off at a time. Any tips? Should I say anything to the partners I assist? Should I say anything to my supervisor?
