The party never stops...40 hours of billable and 12 client dev tags in 4 straight days makes for a doggone fatigued G. Spinach...and one who can't sleep.
Partner C thinks he's gonna get me to file a Chapter 11 commercial bankruptcy petition. Partner D has me locked into about four multi-million real estate deals. I'm supposed to work for Partner A, who's given up trying to ask how I am. And Partner B?? Oblivious.
The up-side...I'm headed West to visit Pop Spinach and push Granddad's estate ball up the hill just a little further. 'Til then, I'm gettin' by on peanut-buttered english muffins and applesauce. Comfort food.
Sisyphus Spinach.

Ugh!
Being leaned on as a commercial real estate associate and a bankruptcy associate, while at the same time supporting the litigation department and being ignored by my own supervising partner in the T&E corner....well, it's simply not my cup of tea.
I'm tossing around the idea of giving my notice tomorrow. I could take the remaining several weeks before the wedding, help plan it, and search for a job that I could start after the honeymoon.
Yes, it's better to search while employed, but I'm not going to have the time to do this right if I'm trying to meet the office's expectations.
Who am I kidding?

Post-free exam weeks
I'd like to say that the last two weeks of blog silence has been a gift to my law student readers who ought to have been crafting memnonic devices related to the application of Sarbanes-Oxley.
Truthfully, it's because I've been stretched a little thin.
The associate in our firm's real estate department announced his departure, and so I'm playing associate to two partners until his replacement is found. That's never a good place to be....if I pick up too much slack, there's no incentive to replace the guy; if I let too much slide, I'll get yelled at by partner and client both.
And Grandpa Spinach's estate has taken some extra attention now that there are interested buyers for his land. It's been almost three years since he died, and it seems to take more time each week now than it did in any of the first couple of years.
Don't even mention the 144 wedding invitations that my fiancee and I stuffed, sealed, and stamped over the weekend....thanks to my beloved betrothed for doing most of the work on those.
And I'm selling the G. Spinach law-school-mobile. Yep, it's been used mostly for courthouse runs, errand marathons and airport stays since I bought another car last year, but to free up space in the driveway, it's time to let her go. *Sniffle*.

Loose Ends
Sometimes, it's the little things that come to get you.
Despite my quest to tie up loose ends, I let one slide just a little too far, and now it returns.
I've gotta make amends, though fortunately, the client is a dissolved, bankrupt entity. There's no angry client, but all the same, I knew this was coming.
*sigh*
