I know I post about my irration with work more often that I should but allow me a moment to go at it again:-

I've been at my present company for some 8 months now and for the initial period, it was mostly good (or as good as working in a law firm can get I suppose...). I was all happy and convincing myself that perhaps coming back to law wasn't so bad and it was just a matter of finding the right law firm with the right balance of having a decent boss, lovely colleagues and good working hours. I was pretty sure I had found a combination that worked for me and perhaps it's still true. But I think my general moodiness and unhappiness has been back on the brew in the last 2 months. I reckon its just because I am tired, especially with the manic back to back deadlines I've had and having to deal with overly demanding clients. It also doesn't help that I've been preggers and my body just gets tired and need more time to rest that I did before. I feel mentally drained and it feels like the only respite I'm gonna get is when I go on maternity leave at the end of March.

I know I need this job and I'm not going to quit just coz I've been having a rough couple of weeks. But sometimes its hard to remember the good things about it when I feel like my boss just doesn't appreciate the work I'm doing or have any clue with whats going on with a particular file only to jump in and give instructions for soemthing that isn't wholly relevent. I don't know how to raise it with him either without getting emotional (which is highly likely in my present hormonal state) and I just feel like I don't give a crap anymore about my clients or this job.

I need to figure out my life.
