Personal
Jeff is constantly amazed at how things change, and yet remain the same. For example, he vividly remembers as a first-year associate having to "redline" a document, using a red marker and a ruler. Now, with a few quick "clicks," he is treated to a perfect electronic redline. Yet, despite the improved technologies, there remains a constant as a transactional attorney: solve problems by developing solutions that make clients happy (and hopefully successful). Fortunately, Jeff loves problem-solving, whether it involves assisting clients in resolving complicated business/financing/acquisition issues, figuring out how his new electronic "toys" work or understanding how to work with his children with their "new math" assignments. He does sense that he should keep his day job, as he tends to have limited success with electronics. His wife and five precocious children would probably eagerly concur.
