I worked more hours during the second half of this month than I have all year. I appreciate this for the money I have earned, but also for other reasons:
1. I billed more hours. I earned quite a bit of money for the firm, even if some of the people who wanted our assistance have no gratitude when the bills arrive next week.
2. I had several opportunities to show off my crisis management abilities. Further, the stress of managing them didn't follow me home.
3. I gained a greater appreciation for my co-workers. I work with some smart, competent people.
4. I accepted my mistakes, eventually. That constitutes progress.
5. My work benefitted the clients. Sometimes this benefit consisted only of reassurance, and other times more tangible things.
