As I sit here on day seven of quarantine, I started to think about what I wanted to write about for this article. After being away from the office for so long, I realized how much I missed my work, how much I actually enjoy what I do and how much like my colleagues.

I then started to reflect on my 10 years of practicing law. I have worked at three very different firms with three very different bosses. Being home from work with my children for so many days, I keep thinking of the fairytale “Goldilocks and The Three Bears” to describe my work experiences to date. One environment was too soft, one was too hard and the last one was just right. Yet, I realized that even if my previous places of employment were not the right fit for me, I still learned important lessons from all three of my bosses, my colleagues at each firm and even from myself along the way.
