I generally focus on the oddities (or frustrations) of being an attorney and the irony in my workplace here. But I truly believe I work in the best firm in my city. Why? Because of this:
RJ: Hard of hearing attorney, client just informed me that I cannot begin the MSJ due Monday until Wednesday. I’m in arbitration on Thursday and need to stay home with my kids on Friday.
HHA: Well that’s ridiculous. Of course you are going to start now. No one is going to be working until midnight or on the weekend on this. You have two kids you need to be at home with. Just get started now and I will deal with the client.
And because of this:
RJ: What time do we need to leave for the arbitration on Thursday.
Partner: Well I was thinking about leaving at 7, if that works for you. I know you have two kids that you have to consider in the mornings.
Yes, I do work for the best firm!
