Honestly, how busy are you?

Last fall and winter and the first few months of 2022 were quite the grind, but now it's a complete 180. Instead of working past midnight all the time and rarely having free weekends, I'm able to leave at a very reasonable hour every weekday and now nearly all my weekends are practically work-free. It's all a bit surreal. I am really enjoying this newfound peace and quiet, but can't help feeling a bit antsy about how much work has scaled back. Curious to hear about how other groups and banks are faring in terms of WLB.
