Loving What You Do

Someone told me recently that you if you love what you do, then it's not work. Well, I can't say I love what I do everyday, but I do love the challenge of what  I do. I get asked what kind of law I practice, or what my specialty is almost everyday. Newsflash: I'm an associate, I practice whatever law the partners give me, but that is what I love! When someone walks in my door to give me an assignment or task I never know what I'm going to get. (It's like the law grab bag in my office).

Walking into my office is like going through the salad bar of law: a little wrongful death here, a helping of discovery requests, sampling of insurance defense, the little taste of business transactions, and the odd research assignment thrown in for pizazz. Do I necessarily love all these helpings, no, but who can honestly say they love everything, everyday of what they do. I do love, however, that I never know what I'm going to get. Each day brings a new project, challenge, and learning experience. I have gotten to explore so many avenues of the law in such a short time. So, as much as I may not love drafting discovery, I do love the feeling when I come up with the perfect RFA that gets to the heart of the element of the cause of action (without copy & paste).

So, while you may not love every single thing that you do everyday, I do believe that if there is something about what you do that you love, its job work! ~The Illegal Blonde
