And a note to nice senior partner man
Mar. 31st, 2006 02:24 pmYou are an evil monster who I will exact my revenge on, and yes, I have said this to your face.
I was not on call last night. I get to sleep, because I have been called out waaaaay too often recently. But I, as a HUGE favour to you, dragged myself out at 2:00am ANYWAY and did the whole police station thing for a few hours for an idiot who's selling drugs to the club kiddies. I am dead without sleep.
You knew this. You personally rang and asked me at that evil hour to turf out for you. You do NOT get to bitch at me being late the next morning. You do NOT get to bitch about me looking distracted. You do NOT get to bitch at me because I have cancelled all my morning appointments and you do NOT get to bitch at me because I scheduled a nap during my day.
I don't care how many clients we have. You've overbooked and taken on too many. Business is booming, yeah, it's great. But, and I speak on behalf of all the lawyers in this firm, we refuse to live in the office! And no, I can't quote 8 obscure legal cases in passing conversations. No, i can't recount any case if you just read the library reference to me. That's why I research.
Yes, I know you can quote those cases. Yes, I know you're knowledge of the law is awe inspiringly encyclopaedic. And yes, I know you do virtually live at the office. Yes, I know you have worked 7 day weeks for the last 2 months. And yes, I know you somehow manage to sleep for 2 hours and be alert and professional. And yes, you can even keep a sense of humour and a cheery disposition when going with no sleep at all. Congratulations, you're better than me. Have a cookie. Next to the Hound. Now stop rubbing it in and pass the coffee.
He's actually a great guy and very good at his job, but his standards and expectations are just too high for mortals
