I haven't been writing lately.  It is not that I don't have anything to say.  Rather, much of what I do have to say is acerbic and ungrateful.  So - as they say - if you can't say anything nice......

I am struggling.  I am spending a whole lot of energy trying not to hate my job - and then trying not to hate myself for those many moments lately during which I hate my job.  I have been giving it 100 percent lately, but I still don't love it.

I used to live to work.  Now, I work to live. 

It is not my clients.  It is not my opposing counsel.  It is not court dates or deadlines.  In truth, I don't know why I am dissastisfied.  I have no reason to be. 

Yet the fact is, I am dissasitisfied. 

Maybe I am just bored.

So, I have made a decision to shake things up.  I am closing my office.  I am moving my practice into cyberspace, so to speak.  I am going to do my work from home.  I am going to scale down the size of my practice.  I am going to take fewer cases and fewer clients.  Maybe I will, one day, leave the law altogether.  Maybe you will find me at a corner convenience store near you ringing up your cigarettes and Bud Light beer.
