Last-Minute Stress

Sometimes I love being a lawyer. This week has not been one of them.

The baby is due June 6, although looking like it might come a bit later. My primary goal for this week was to prepare for that arrival, and give myself time to breathe next week. Unfortunately, litigation can be as unpredictable as childbirth. I have at least three major cases which demand my immediate undivided attention, and of course my attention is divided among them and my personal life. One of these cases has proven to be enormously stressful, with my sole consolation being that my clients on that case understand what kind of superhuman effort I've put in for them so far, and are highly motivated to pay their bills on time.

Oh, yes, did I mention I've got another Fourth Circuit brief due by the 16th?

Thank goodness my trial for that week canceled.

It may be time to hire someone.
