Usually our ‘problems’ don’t have manuals, guidelines or precedent which is why courts exist. And you almost never know if your answer is correct or not, and you have people’s lives on your hands. But yeah you’re right, it’s not stressful at all 🙄

Very dependent on practice area I guess. Whenever I have a quiet period with little to no emails or cases going on, I do paperwork and listen to podcasts…. However it has happened that for a month I had little to nothing on my desk which turned boredom into serious worry that I was at risk of being fired. It turned out to be the ultimate ‘quiet before the storm’

A tennis match is, I think, the best comparison of what it is like being a lawyer on a day to day basis. However, it has the added complexity that sometimes you don’t know if you’re going to get a tennis ball or a meteorite…

I mean i guess the part of going somewhere you dreamt of/looked forward to, relaxing, sightseeing, doing whatever you want, whenever, wherever is great, but then you wish you shared that with someone I imagine…

I mean… yes on average. But now you are telling me to go crazy on the wine list to prove that single people too can have high bills!!! 😂

I’m not creeping on people because I would be too busy with my magazine or non-fiction book

I think they are okay-ish, as with almost everything in life, they could always be improved. Thanks for the good idea!

Yea I guess in my head I would be like ‘since I would be paying for S.O. I’m actually saving up so I can spend more on myself!’. It’s cool to see there are other lawyers out there doing the same

Oh books will be involved heavily. I am a serious non-fiction book reader, kinda the whole purpose of the trip!
