vacation prep

It is always hard to get work ready for a vacation.  I must plan ahead.  I must consider deadlines.  I must prepare clients and inform the attorneys and other paralegal of where each case is.  It takes some time. 

This time was a little easier because of the 8 business days that I will be out of the office, the office will be closed 5 of those days.

It was a little more difficult because at the end of last week this is what my desk looked like...

There was a lot of work to be done.  And on top of all my work, the other paralegal in the office was on vacation all week.  So I had her caseload to keep track of.  But by the time I left work today this is what my desk looked like...

And now I am on vacation!
