Work to Live

20 minute lunch breaks; working till 7 plus; juggling between 3 lawyers.

There's only one me; I can't be at more than one place at one time.

And the challenge is to juggle the assignments of 4 lawyers. Show me which law firm has one, and only one, LA answering to 4 lawyers at all times.

At least one of them understands and has not given me any assignment yet but in the long run this is not feasible.

The workload can be adjusted, but that can't address the issue of being at different places at the same time. There are only 24 hours a day. And please, not all 24 hours are meant, or ought to be used, for work.

Speaking of time it's not as if life is just about work. Work is just the means to an end and not an end itself. "Leave" is called "leave" for a reason: what's the point of calling it "leave" if you cannot totally leave work while on leave?

If "millions are starving for my job", looking at the sacrifices demanded I say they can jolly well have it.

I work to live. Not the other way round.
