I have a really elderly friend who because of his age is close to death. I’m forty years younger. We are good friends and he provides emotional support but at the same time I don’t like that he’s so much older. I would rather have a friend around my age plus or minus ten years. I see his age as a big negative and sometimes I feel like it’s not wise to invest too much me emotionally so I kind of need him. I’m trying to make other friends but it’s a process and to be frank the people I’ve met don’t take the same interest in my life as he does and talk mostly about themselves which bothers me. So in that respect he’s a better friend but he’s so old. Sometimes when we are in public I feel self c

Also please say what it’s about thank you

How do you guys manage the deadlines and workload? I am drowning with more work than time and we’re not allowed to work over. I have several things due on Friday with a massive deadline next Friday looming over me and several other projects to do. I’m doing a good job of prioritizing but there’s just so much work everyone wants a piece of me and I can’t keep up. I can’t afford to say no to work I’m behind on my hours and I say no a lot which I think they hold against me. I think the attorneys I work for are happy with me but upper management wants me to take on more. I’m doing the best I can but I’m struggling keeping up.

I need to get work out. I wish I were faster. I’m new so I’m slow. T

I have been at my job for 3.5 months. I’ve been worried I could get fired this whole time because I am significantly behind on a quota. No one has said anything to me about it and I’m not going to bring it up myself because I want to maintain a low profile. But nonetheless I live with the anxiety that I could get let go at any time. Well today I finished another day. The learning curve has been almost vertical at this job. There is a ton I don’t know and I often feel out of my depth so every day is an accomplishment. I feel good about finishing another day. I hope you stay at this job long term so I’m hoping that I can build my future one day at a time

I have one elderly good friend and a few acquaintances but I feel really alone. I wish there were someone that could understand what I go through and my experience. I would love to meet another single woman my age or one I could identity with in some way. I do so many things alone. My parents are getting older and my elderly friend could die at any time. I’m worried I will be totally alone in the world. I would love to have some companionship or someone who understood my every day experience

I am behind on my annual quota at work so have been worried that I could get fired. It’s like a constant worry in the back of my mind and I’m not sure what will happen. They sent me an automatic notification that I am behind but no one’s talked to me yet. It’s kind of stressful.

Because of this, I’m always worried I’m going to get fired but something good happened. Yesterday was my three month anniversary at work so I made it past the probation period. No one has warned or reprimanded me yet so I figure no news is good news. I feel good about this accomplishment because even if my job ends tomorrow I think I have a lot to be proud of. I didn’t know anything about this area of Lee m law when

Kill me now.

For full disclosure I am a paralegal but could really use your advice. I’ve been at my current firm for three months this coming Tuesday and am significantly behind on my billables. Our annual is 1650 but I’m currently on track to make 1254. Sucks I know.

I try the best I can but for the first month and a half or so I wasn’t getting many assignments. I’m busy now but I can talk they want me to take on a lot more than I do. How I got the job is I knew someone who recommended me. I mostly with with her and one other attorney and I think they’re both pretty happy with me.

Am I toast? No one has brought up my hours but I did get an automated notice yesterday that I am badly behind. Do you thin

Propounding

1. How do you know what to ask?

Responding

1. What is the process you usually go through responding to discovery? Which documents from claim file give you the answers you need to know? How should you proceed if you can’t get a hold of the insured? Can you give me a step by step of how to do the document production

I’m a homebody and recently I’ve had a few weeks where every work week I think you myself I can’t wait until the weekend but when the weekend comes I have nothing to do. Yesterday I went to a movie and walked with an acquaintance so felt like I actually did something with my weekend. It felt great to get out of the house. I enjoyed the movie too.

The scale has not budged and my doctor told me it’s harder to lose weight during the transition to menopause. How can I get my metabolism up? I wonder if I’m not losing weight because I’m sedentary and older 51

I’ve struggled in my career as a paralegal even tho I’m a really smart person. Unfortunately, I think way too much of my self-worth is tied up with my work. Like when I’ve gotten fired it’s really traumatic and causes a lot of pain. Intellectually I know that who I am as a worker has nothing to do with who I am as a person but it’s hard feeling rejected by your employer. I long to work somewhere I’m appreciated or valued. I feel bad because my last job was at a small firm and it had kind of a family feel. The partners sometimes took us out to lunch and I don’t know. I guess that I was naive I thought they were my friend but they weren’t my friend. They fired me and it really, really hurt. It

I’m in the middle of writing my first motion and I’m really proud of myself. I did the notice and the memo of points and authorities. I have never written a memo of points and authorities before. Next I have to do the declaration and proposed order but I think that should be pretty easy. I’m pretty happy with hope it turned out so I really hope the attorney likes it. I’m eager to get his feedback. I hope he tells me if it’s good or bad so I can learn from it. I guess I’ll be able to term from how much he changes it. I’m proud of myself finally something good has happened
