	So as not to threadjack with personal details.... Increase Your PM Length

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my lack of input into the team recently. As you may know I've recently taken a new job with a local firm. I expected to have more night time, as my wife is away at Michigan for a summer institute, but man this job is killing me. Basically the boss is trying very hard to not be an attorney, so I am worn out picking up his slack and trying to avoid being sued for malpractice

Anyway, today was my first solo trial. Only 2 witnesses, but fairly bloody (child support and attorney fees at issue) and my client was a dirtbag and the opponent a money grubber. Fun stuff. Crazy to be doing that after being an attorney for 3 weeks, but I survived. Too bad I won't get the results for a month


Again, my apologies for not pitching in. I do have time to shoot a diplo message around here and there, but not enough for any detailed analyses (which I am always hesitant to do, as others here are much more qualified than I)

Congratulations on the job and the use of your education.

Expect to work your a** off. They make new graduates every year so that more experienced people have someone to chew up. Expect to pay some dues. Just don't let him make you pay your dues for too long.

I'm feelng that. The guy before me only worked 6 months but parlayed it into one of the big injury firms in indianapolis. Granted, I would hate doing personal injury work, but the experiene of being made to do verything is great, if overwhelming.

Luckily I can slip out this weekend and visit my wife, I need a bit of a break.

Good luck, Sleepy. If you can do that job and not grow to hate it, good for you. I couldn't.
