Orientation is underway and I am working on the first assignment: Learning how to read and brief cases. You would think it would be simple.
After all, I’m a smart man. I have worked as a writer, editor and publisher for years.
Not so simple. I just spent two hours reading forty pages after an 14 hour day and four hours of sleep. There was a time when I could run for weeks on four hours of sleep per night.
First lesson: The old man needs more sleep.
Second lesson: Briefing cases isn’t very difficult, but it does require a lot of concentration.
The take away:
Take breaks when you need to and don’t try to force yourself through the pages. Right now, I’m going to get a milkshake before hitting the briefs again.
