My job is really annoying in that when I spend a day in Court, people still write letters to me and when I get back to the office all exhausted, I still have to deal with the correspondence and other ongoing work when all I really want to do is go home and sleep. Same with when I spend about a week rushing submissions. After I finish writing the damn submissions, I still have to spend another two to three days dealing with all of the other matters that have piled up and / or exploded while my brain was away rushing submissions. Leaving work every single day is a risk-management exercise: abandoning work and risking it exploding in your face the next day.

Sometimes you wish that time would just stop when you are in hearing or when you are in court or rushing submissions, that you would come back to real life after the time out with a desk as clean as when you first started out.

But that’s just wishful thinking on my part.

Oh well. Please ignore me while I feel really sorry for myself staring down a bottomless pit-ful of work.

I have newfound respect for my stupid office computer. I wished I could run more than 100 processes at one go without hanging. So believe me when I tell you that even my mobile phone is smarter than me.
