I got a mail out of blue from a lawyer in Toronto to my wife saying that he has a deceased client dies 4 years ago from Covid who has a multi million dallor from an “permanent life insurance policy” and no one claims it and he wan't able to find any of the cliant relatives. He said due to we have the same last name as that client, he asked us to take on the unclaimed money from the policy with him, spliting the money and donate 10% to charity.

This sounds very fishy, so I looked into it...

Phone addiction. I truly feel like I have one now and I hate it. Is anyone feeling the same or possibly improved your phone addition? I am constantly on my phone and my usage is averaging 5.5 hours per day. I wake up to my phone and it's the last thing I see before bed. On it between meetings and any moment that I don't have to be focused. I will say that my phone doesn't get touched when I'm with people. Almost at all. It is a cycle of insta, snap, and FB. With LinkedIn and this in between.

Low billable, low pressure work in privacy law? Slowly realizing that as my boys get older, the money isn’t worth what I’m missing out on.

I have limited privacy experience despite being hired for that reason… Have my CIPM and CIPP/US /E and /C. Remote preferred; hubs is pilot with cool intl transfer opportunities. Money isn’t issue.
