Stop it, Ygrec! Take your wife out for a drive, spend a bit more time together if you don't have cases to work on? You are not your cases/caseload. Maybe have a little cookout at your brother's house with him? My stepson was out yesterday, and a single guy friend of ours who just found 6 months of work up in New York State (we all live in Maryland) and is commuting on weekends. My stepson is an insurance broker so having some of the woes with the economy too. But we had burgers and hot dogs, lots of good conversation. It was very cheering.
