you have to accept what i'm about to tell you if you want to be happy in big law. destroy the weekend. i don't mean get fucked up on it. i mean destroy the concept of the weekend entirely look at ppl's faces next time you're walking around NY on a friday: their smiles are tired grins, and by saturday they're climaxing. but by the end of the weekend, the miasma of the Sunday scaries makes the line at Trader Joe's feel like the procession up to the casket at a wake it's already ridiculous that ppl live for 2 out of 7 days. but it will absolutely embitter the big lawyer who doesn't even get those 2 destroying the weekends will make you less of a baby when you have to work on them. and will allow you to enjoy the staccato rhythm of leisure moments that bounce the big lawyer's way. maybe you work all weekend, but suddenly you're free on tuesday and wednesday. well, guess that's your weekend. go fuck off in Midtown. strut around in your fancy law duds for the tourists. they're paying good money after all there's also work weeks and months and weekend weeks and weekend months. three months out of the year, you're only going to get a couple of days off. but three months out of the year, you'll be a Midtown flaneur when you're billing 70 hrs a week, it's not hard to work 14 hrs a day on blind adrenaline grinding thro your inbox like a wood chipper. even boring tasks are bearable when you're riding the dopamine bumps of producing but then when you're gifted a treasured weekend month, your childhood self comes out of hibernation. your personal life resumes, you start going to the gym, lighting candles, and looking at wabi sabi designs on Pinterest. that person is your outtie, and you need to be hyper aware that your outtie fucking sucks at big law. when your weekend month is suddenly transformed into a work month by a single email, you have to kill your outtie. but don't worry, it won't be long before the workahol kicks in maybe this sounds mordant, but remember that ppl w a lot of leisure time are taking pills to get thro it. leisure only exists relative to hard work, as light exists only relative to darkness
