Working late

This was an expected occurrence.

Moving into a law firm was always going to mean longer hours and less time for myself.  I knew this was going to happen, so much so that I even talked about how I knew it was going to happen in my interview.  I had acknowledged this to both myself and the world at large.

Yet when you are finally confronted by the terrifying reality, all your mental preparations seem to be for naught.  The steel of self assured confidence that you have used to brace yourself starts to bend and you start to break.

Sitting in the office starring out the window, you see the world go from lively to dead in less than an hour.

I wonder if it's something I'll ever get used to?
