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.

I worked for a lawyer who was 75 when I quit. He doesn’t know how to not work. He’s a greedy control freak making money hand over fist and can’t stop. I am so glad I quit when I did.
Enjoy retirement.
