Here is a transcript of what is heard in this episode:
Where are you from?
I am from a lovely seaside town about two hours from here.
Do you work or study?
I work as a lawyer in a large law firm.
How do you feel at work?
Usually, I feel very stressed. It’s a demanding job and when you know that someone’s freedom is at stake it can be very overwhelming.
What do you usually do at your workplace?
I spend a considerable amount of time on the computer, writing briefs, researching laws, precedents – anything that is relevant to the case I am representing. I also have meetings with clients and other lawyers.
Would you change anything about your workplace?
I would change the pace of the work. For some reason, when it rains it pours. By that I mean that some periods are very slow and during other periods the workload seems insurmountable.
Do you prefer to call a colleague on the phone or send them an email?
For work-related issues, I do both. I call the colleague to discuss and then I follow up with an email so that there is written documentation of our conversation. It is a bit tedious but absolutely necessary in my line of work.
