You know what's worse than being bored at work? Getting an "urgent" project the Friday before a long weekend at 3pm. Friday night until Monday night taken up with research on obscure issues in areas of law I have barely even heard of, much less have familiarity with.
That, and spending all day in the office on Saturday, only to come home to do some work from my couch and find that my laptop has an LCD issue, rendering it unusable. Sitting at the mini desk in my kitchen chair to use our home computer is not nearly as comfortable as the couch.
I know I should be glad that I have work (and therefore billable hours), but the fact that I "should be grateful" to be working on a three day weekend just kind of irritates me. Something tells me I'll be bored again come Tuesday when I am actually supposed to be working.
I miss law school.

Hmm, this story sounds strangely familiar... :)
The life of a corporate biglaw attorney. Well, it's what we picked. But I miss law school too.
Ugh. My sympathies. That is really irritating, for sure.
I know, it sucks how you always get something URGENT on Friday at 4:00 when you've spent an entire week searching for something to do. It happens to me all the time and it's beyond irritating.
