It should be noted that I hit my billable requirement yesterday so everything today and tomorrow is just gravy. #AssociateLife

On Monday people will ask, "How was your weekend?"

I'll respond with "Fine."

I'll desperately want to say "It sucked. I worked full days both days." But I can't. #associatelife #lawyer

My goal today for tackling this motion to dismiss? Get rubbish on the page then deal with it later... that's future me's problem. #associatelife

I have to keep reminding myself that putting in a lot of hours in the first half of this month means that I might actually be able to take time off around the holidays.

Here's to billing 6+ hours today.

Well I was just shy of billing 8 hours for the day when I logged off today...got an email that will make me log back on. I really want to have 2 full days without having to work so that will require me to work some more tonight. Yay for the billable hours I guess. #associatelife #lawfirmlife

Santa checking his list twice, but this time he's calculating billable hours. "Naughty or nice? More like, 'Did you meet your Q4 targets or not?'” #LegalChristmas #BillableHours #LawLife #AttorneyLife #AssociateLife #CorporeoHorn #BigLaw #HolidayStress #LegalHumor #SantaClaus #ChristmasInChambers

My Monday night tap class is usually an appointment I rarely miss...you know work is rough when I admit defeat and skip it. #TooManyDeadlines #AssociateLife

After averaging 8.6 billable hrs/day for the last 8 days (including Sat & Sun), I decided I'm working from home in my sweats. I'll probably bill 9+ hours today, but I'm going to be comfy doing it. Being in the office to wear headphones and draft briefs seems silly. #associatelife #flexibility

Being an associate is "hey thanks for doing this great work, here's 4 more things I need you to do at the same quality." Rinse and repeat. All while saying "if I can get past next week I'll be fine." #associatelife #lawyer #workingthrutheweekend

After today, I get two full days of no work! This is how most people operate, but when you're an associate behind on hours, this is an absolute luxury. #associatelife #lawfirmlife

I was planning on working part of yesterday so that I didn't have to spend too many hours today working...yeeeahh that didn't happen. Time to lock in for some billable hours. #AssociateLife #FirmLife
