I don’t get it

A female co-worker called my desk phone and when our call was over I said “Goodbye, I love you.”

I did NOT mean to say that. It was just out of habit of ending calls with family.

Thank god she was cool about it. I was so embarrassed. Yikes. YIKES.

Oh noooo this is my worst fear hahaha

I was excited to get dismissed from jury duty around 4p on a Friday, December holiday weekend before I realized I needed an attendance slip from the court. This was worth $200 and might’ve been the only money I made that month. I waltz back into the court room to interrupt the judge about this little quarter-slip of paper, and got a look for ruining her train of thought that could’ve put me in prison. I get nightmares about it sometimes.

I was having trouble with my computer mic on a very stacked client call with a very culturally conservative client, and of course my mic finally activates just in time to broadcast me loudly and angrily exclaiming “F*CKING HELL!” to the entire group.

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.
