Just had a perspective-bending conversation with my boss. Yes, yes...I'm thinking about and talking about work way too much. I have a huge case that is absorbing my mind. However, my boss noted that the person in charge of this family of cases just last year, based on the workload, seriousness, and complexity of the issues - was _only_ working on these cases to the exclusion of all else. I not only picked up the cases mid-stream when he went out, but have simultaneously maintained a full workload during that time as well. Oh. Oh. OH! Yeah, that's true...plus I'm our newest litigator, he the most Sr? Oh.

This says a couple things to me. I might not suck. It might not always be this way. I remember this job being easier, and that's when I was not as good at it. Imagine if I wasn't doing these wacky cases...this job could be manageable. So, I'm getting better at several areas of this job all at once (with room for improvement, but at least I'm above water) and someday this job might be a regular job - not one that eats my life like I was an actual attorney.

Pant pant pant remember when work was only 40 hours a week!?
