What a life! Do we really all have to work???

I have survived the first half of my probation period and submitted two tenders just on time (four minutes to spare) and am totally exhausted! What a feat to try and understand a business in record time and write a submission involving all practice groups and all lawyers. Nightmare! I must have done ten days of 16 hrs in the office trying to get my head around it all. Not happy! But hopefully it will be worth it.
Even though it all feels very random and chaotic, I do feel quietly positive about the role. There are some very nice and talented people in the office... It will hopefully only get easier now.

This is my office building and the fantastic view from my desk...
