Work-life balance is still a dumb-ass issue.

Republished here from an October 20 WAC? post. Our sitemeter says that people love to hate this post. But, hey, don’t strain yourself–if you are a new lawyer, it can wait until Monday, maybe. Who cares if a few young dweebs are working in your shop on Saturday, or Sunday? All lawyers are the same, and equal, right? And learning how to be a useful lawyer shouldn’t be that hard, probably, should it?

Man, you have a law degree–so you already made it, sort of. Have a drink. Smoke a big doobie–one that looks like a super-giant cigar and makes the whole room crazy. You are an elite person. You’ve got some great ties. Tell the waitress you’re a lawyer. Time to be somebody…it can all just wait.

Relax. Don’t suffer. Coast. Mail it in. Get by.

Have a good weekend.
