Don’t sweat the small stuff.

I would rather not think about it. If I don't think about it, the problem doesn't exist, right? That's how it works?

305. Had a two-week trial and immediately had to defend six depositions in two weeks. Not great, Bob.

People at my firm do this all the time. As someone who has taken 0 depositions (second chaired a few though) and has never had a witness at trial, I am in awe of this schedule

Mine are low for Jan and Feb but (~75-80%) but I’m sure the rest of the year will make up for it!

I am at 130 something (150 requirement) and suffered a miscarriage this month so was out a day. Trying to not feel bad about it if that shows how messed up this profession is 🫠 Also had a low January.

like

Please take time for yourself. Having a low Jan/Feb Is nothing to panic about, especially in your situation. I have had several low 100s Jan + under 100 Febs and made bonus anyway. You have plenty of time to catch up to not fret over this.
