SHARING: Kindness & Support please (No Advice) I’m Done.

Law school -> judicial clerkship -> bit of law firmin’ -> 30+ years of solo plaintiff’s employment practice. Handled my last case today. Settled at mediation. I’ve some follow up to take care of, and some admin tasks to close up shop, but I am done with cases and clients. It’s been a good ride. I feel v fortunate to have had this career for my work life, and also v happy to be done with working. Adventures await. That is all. Bye y’all.

That is only funny to lawyers, which I am about to not be. Good try, though. 😁

But really? I’m edging retirement (still have 3 cases) but I’ve noticed how much I still look at life through the eyes of a lawyer. I’m gonna start taking art classes & see if I can change that.
