When one decides to take the day off, for no other reason than mere convenience, there is always a feeling of giddiness, or so I have found. It is not that I don't have the days to spend, -and believe me, I do - but there is also this slight feeling of guilt - that I should be at the office, that I should be working on the number of cases that I am in the middle of...
Despite this feeling, I am also giddily aware that this is a sort of freedom, I have not had in quite a while. Waking up late, not leaving or dressing for the office... it is a good feeling.
Of course, that I can spend a good portion of my day with my love helps. That I will be seeing friends this afternoon and tonight also helps. And that it is Friday... oh yes, that most certainly helps.
Being in the workforce after ~20 years of being a student has been an illuminating experience. I am glad for it, but I will not be disappointed to see it go, when I start law school next year.
