Is the summer really a “slow” time for you? It SHOULD be for me but there’s so much on my to-do list it’s never ending. How are you managing your workload? Feeling overrun or are things lighter for you during this time of year?

It feels busier in some ways and slower in others. There are so many end-of-the-school-year-related activities that I’m trying to maneuver around that it’s making my professional life seem more rushed than normal in an attempt to stay on track.

If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2.
