April was great, but May really slow with no prospect of getting better.

I am asking for work far and wide and not really getting much. And anxiety about it is unhelpfully making it extremely difficult to do the work that I do have. I'm trying to think of forms I could program in spare time...

Still busy. But we have scheduled zoom mediations with all the mediator openings this month. Lots of extra prep and billables.

I am slow as well and hearing the same from my l&e friends. It’s weird.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
