I became a lawyer to help people. Now, if you’re snickering under your breath as you read that, well, I don’t blame you. Lawyer jokes? Trust me, I’ve heard them all. Heckling due to my chosen profession? It’s happened. Actually, it’s happened more than once, to the point where I sometimes don’t tell people what I do. And in all fairness, there quite a few lawyers out there that give us a bad name, but honestly and truly, helping people is why I went to law school.
Of course, there were moments when I dreamed of being an attorney at a big name firm with an expense account to match…and I even came close once – working for large corporations and insurance companies, flying across the country for lunch or dinner (often on only a few hours notice), and some decent size bonuses – but when it came down to it, working for corporations wasn’t where I wanted to be. And after a few years of working for companies after law school, I found a job representing people.
The problem with working for people, is that there are a lot more of them than there are of me, and each one has a very specific situation that I need to remember on little or no notice. This is what my desk currently looks like:
You want to know the worst part? I cleaned up a little for taking that picture. Because I couldn’t possibly show you what it looked like without cleaning up a little. I just couldn’t.
Each of those files and pieces of paper represents a person. Someone who may live down the street or clear across the country (or the world) who I represent. Needless to say, I keep pretty busy when I’m at the office. So busy that I often have to eat lunch at my desk or at my laptop on the rare occasions when I work from home. There have even been a few times where I look up at the clock and realize that it’s 3:00pm and I missed lunch altogether. For those occasions, I’m thrilled that I keep Cambpell’s Slow Kettle Soups in my desk. Because the only thing worse than figuring that you’ve missed lunch, is realizing that you need to go out and get something to eat. That trip is easily 20-30 and ends with drive thru food that I often don’t even want.
Ready in just 3 minutes, Campbell’s Slow Kettle Soups make the perfect lunch solution. Although stove top is the recommended heating method, they can be microwaved in the bowl that they come in with just a little bit of plastic wrap on the top (or paper towel when I’m in a pinch), and with flavors like Tuscan-Syle Chicken & White Bean Soup, Fiesta Chicken Lime Tortilla, Texas-Style Angus Beef Chili, and Roasted Chicken Chardonnay, there’s a flavor for each day of my work week.
Of course, if I’m being honest, I do have a favorite…the Roasted Chicken Noodle Soup. Mmmm. Full of large, corkscrew noodles and tons of carrots (my favorite!), it’s a hearty meal all by itself.
And just enough to fill me up quick so I can get back to that huge mess on my desk. No doubt it’s doubled (tripled?) since I started writing this post.
So if you’re looking for an easy lunch solution for your busy days at the office or at home make sure you look for Campbell Slow Kettle Soups in the soup aisle at Walmart. And be sure to print this Campbell’s Slow Kettle Soups coupon to save a little money in the process!
