Sr assocs say no

My nonbillable stuff (about 90 hrs) doesn't look bad I wrote articles and whatnot

Also I never turned down work and always went around looking for stuff to do when I got slow

People noticed that I think

Also I just finished yr 1 so less is expected of me

Hopefully it's 1950 and not 2000 so you don't have to bust out a 245 hr month

That would come out to a 9 hr day if you took a mere 4 days off so it's doable

1928.05 as of tonight. Back on track for over 2000 for the year after billing 83.25 hours the week of Thanksgiving

No billable requirement, either, so it's not something to "celebrate".

It is if 2000 was the unstated requirement

Generally speaking, what's the ratio of billable hour to actual time? As in, is it average to bill 45 minutes on the hour (therein 3/4) or something to that extent?

I don't think there is a ratio. You've got junk shit that doesn't count, like billing the hours, getting coffee, lunch, posting on TLS, CLEs and the occasional meeting. But if you bill 0 hours or 15, the amount of the junk doesn't increase.

So you've got the junk + 100% hours that actually work.

No real ratio but if I'm losing 15 mins of very hour I'm comin up way short for the day

Edit maybe not way short but def short of the 8 billed per day I aim for

for me it's more like fuck around on TLS for an hour and then grind relentlessly for two to make it up
