More and more, I dread going to work and dealing with the gazillion cases on the docket. I always somehow muscle through, but I feel an utter dread creep up the night before and morning of. Do you feel that way? It's becoming more common. I have some cases I am really passionate about that are set for jury trials, but the overall grind is killing me. I just took a long vacation. I love this job, but I'm tired. I'm tired of the whining clients (not all of them are whiners, and some are downright delightful people), the arrogant, rude prosecutors, everyone blaming us for everything. I'm just tired.

I always feel like I take too much time away from other cases but not enough time researching the motion. For example, a motion to suppress fruits of a search incident to arrest where there was no PC for the arrest. And how thorough are you? I feel like the more thorough motions always lose, but the short motions win every once in awhile.
