Undisclosed Superhero


When I started working at my firm, there were three positions, two paralegals and a receptionist/marketing coordinator.  They were three full time positions.  The other paralegal who worked here used to call me Wonder K because she said I was able to do what the paralegals before me had found impossible. 

Since then, I have not only had to do my (impossible) job, but I have also had to absorb the other (well at least half of it) and since the third position has been made part time, I do a quarter of that one too.  This week, I have had to do that AND cover for the only other person in the office.  Let’s just say I had worked 42 hours before I came in today.  It has been a very rough week.  It got me thinking though.  Being a superhero is really hard without your sidekick. 

However, apart from doing three peoples jobs, working 10-12 hour days and keeping up with my workouts, I also applied for my dream job, made dentist and doctor’s appointments, did my taxes, paid my bills, turned in some law school applications and read a book.  Not too bad.  Man am I grateful for the 3-day weekend!
