Chokeslam the first chair through a table, hit them with your finisher, then make the County Prosecutor’s Office 4 Lyfe sign.

I already told my references here I’m leaving but won’t tell my actual boss until professionally acceptable two weeks. Don’t tell your boss poo poo or feel bad.

Cool biglaw thing: stay in office until 1030 pm doing project A. Finish, feeling irrationally satisfied at completing the job in good time. Drive home, get email about piddling update to Project B during drive, go to bed without checking email (fatal error). Wake up to emails getting chewed out about Project B in the morning; apparently the "deadline" for piddling update was last night (the actual deadline for Project B is today, this deadline for piddling update was news to me). Spend all of today mad.

Roger_Mudd posted:And died at 52? I had forgotten some other crazy poo poo he did. One job he worked for a while capped his overtime at 20 hours a week. Hit that every week. Same job, there was a forced, unpaid one hour lunch break. He worked through that every day. So 13 hours a day on the clock, every day. What a nut.

Vox Nihili posted:Definitely heel but realistically we need more non-rear end in a top hat prosecutors so I think he gets a pass. I've done both - I feel like you can do more good overall as a prosecutor, while as a defense attorney you can sometimes be at the mercy of a lovely prosecutor/cop on a case. Though how good you can be is often limited by your management.

I've been doing this for over a decade yet it's hard keeping my Type A and perfectionist tendencies from taking over. If it weren't for my family I'd probably almost live at the office. I literally have to schedule free time on my calendar like any other appointment. This isn't bragging on how much work I do. It's seriously unhealthy behavior that leads to burnout and an inability to manage stress if left unchecked (which, ironically enough, leads to lower productivity and having to spend EVEN MORE time at work).

Yeah, but it was during a relatively slow time during the financial crisis. I studied about 2 hours a night mostly doing practice tests for X months, where X is around 3 as best as I recall.

It's seriously unhealthy behavior that leads to burnout and an inability to manage stress if left unchecked (which, ironically enough, leads to lower productivity and having to spend EVEN MORE time at work). I wish I had that. For me, it was the opposite. I did not want to be there. But then, I don't understand how you can want to live at the office, but be stressed by the office. Things that stress me I do not want. EDIT: Editing this to make clear that I am decidedly not trying to take your pain and say, "Pffft, I wish I had that problem." I do not mean it like that. Just that my experience was that the time I was in the office was torturous. It sounds like you would be in the office all the time but for your recognition that you needed to be with your family and maintain some balance. For me, I had to try desperately to make myself stay at the office in the face of an internal voice that is always screaming at me to get away.
