This is exactly what your agency is counting on. Work twice the hours for a fraction of the pay.

I mean you can be at home. Meal prep. Watch a movie you've always meant to watch. Catch up on sleep. Go to the gym. Go people watch in a cafe. Show yourself some self love in a bubble bath.

Self-care is important, and even more so if you're trying to find that special someone.

How are you going to find someone to go home to that way? Think about your hobbies/likes and find a group in your area to join (i.e. social sport leagues, gardening clubs, etc). You’ll make friendships for sure, and may meet that right person as well

I work small (tiny) law. I make mid-100s, so not great salary, but my firm is so laid back. If I bill 1000 hours, that's fine (we were a remote firm before COVID made it cool). Compared to all my peers getting crushed under 1800+ billable requirements, I've got severe imposter's syndrome. Did I do something right or have I set myself up for failure by avoiding the pressure cooker? (I was at a firm for 2 years that was 1800+.) Curious as to thoughts/experiences.
