25.01.2022 Tonight’s post is a bit of a personal update. I’m typing this post on the tram home just before midnight. I should feel pretty cranky. At present I’m working flat out and playing catch-up with a number of files. As a result of the sudden departure of a colleague my file load will probably go up by about 30-40%. I left the office tonight at about 11:40pm after settling the memo to counsel for a brief and the index for a court book for a looming worker’s compensation hearing.
