hay girl haaay

What are you up to these days?

[vella_amor_dm]

just lawyerin'

i've been living in sydney since 2014 (and loving it). no major developments, just working a lot, exploring the city, brunching, that sort of thing haha

how about you? enjoying the teaching gig? :D

[alexi_lupin]

What kind of stuff do you do as a lawyer? I know there are different roles or areas of the law to work in and stuff?

Yeah I am, though I've been having a lot of trouble with migraines lately and at the moment I'm on unpaid leave from work. Which is...crappy.

i'm a corporate mergers and acqusitions lawyer. it's basically a 'help companies buy and sell each other' gig :)

oh god, migraines are a horrible thing to have to deal with on a regular basis. has something set you off, do you think?

[alexi_lupin]

That's such a grown up job ;P

Yeah it's work-related stress and that exacerbates existing anxiety issues I have. The school s very supportive but first year teaching is a stressful gig.

hahaha thanks

yeah working full time on some one else's schedule and knowing you have KPIs to hit is super stressful. i think its why so many people from our generation are launching themselves into startups and such - more control over your own destiny. huge risk though, and i am quite risk averse lol
