You know that feeling. You wander into the office all relaxed and maybe even tanned. You have pictures ready to show your friends and the bosses. Maybe even you have a couple of travel horror stories to relate or comments about something funny that happened on vacation. Or worse, you return to work with the cold or flu you caught while on vacation (just happened to me!). You walk in the door and wham...it’s like you are hit between the eyes. Where is that file, did you talk to this witness, have you done this, have you done that, oh by the way how was your vacation, did you prepare this..... You start breathing shallowly (just like you did before vacation) and wish you could turn around and walk out the door. Well, maybe it’s not thaaaaat bad. But for paralegals our work keeping accumulating even in our absence from the office. Deadlines do not stop because we are gone. Hearings do no go away just because we are not there to subpoena the witnesses. How can a paralegal avoid the foregoing scenario? Some scenarios we cannot avoid because we work in small offices. If a paralegal works in a larger office you can ask other paralegals or support staff to keep an eye on certain tasks or be on the lookout for certain documents, letter, etc. Perhaps an arrangement or relationship with another staff member needs to be forged long before vacation so each has someone to pick up the slack when the other is absent from the office. For the paralegal working in a small office planning before vacation is key to a stress-free (okay, not incredibly stressful) return to the office and is much the same as one would do in the larger firm. The attorneys’ calendars must be surveyed for upcoming deadlines. Some documents or pleadings must be prepared prior to vacation. If hearings are scheduled then subpoenas must be prepared prior to the vacation and served. Prior to vacation start a list or notebook of what must be completed prior to vacation. If you think you will have time, include what must be completed the day you are due back from vacation. Work through the list. As you complete each task you might want to create a memo for the supervising attorney describing the action you have taken. Do not forget to include a memo for the person covering in your absence a list of names and contact numbers should contact be necessary. Clean up your desk. I know that sounds like the last thing you have time to do. But sometimes a document requiring attention has slipped to the bottom of the stack on your desk. You do not want to return, relaxed and happy from your vacation, to find a crisis because of that pesky document losing itself. We all complain about having to work twice as hard in order to go on vacation and then twice as hard when we return to catch up. Well, look at the positive side. Yes you have to work hard but you have a job you love (most days) and you get to go on vacation. Now get back to work!
