More than a lawyer
As a lawyer, my off time is the sweetest – the only thing I enjoy more than my work as an attorney, is my time away from my work as an attorney. For me, off time is all about indulging in the things I love – caring for animals, large and small, going for a run, or trying out a new recipe in the kitchen (though, some would argue I am better at making a mess than a meal). Sometimes, I'll even get really wild and spend hours deep-cleaning my house or planting myself on my couch re-watching episodes of Seinfeld on Netflix. Overall, my off time is a strange mix of laziness and productivity, but hey, at least I'm keeping things interesting!
