Type-Ho

Found a cool typing competition online via Twitter buddy @VPrelovac, here. So far, I’m ahead of everyone else. But does everyone else spend at least 8 full hours a day typing? Unfair advantage?

A Nip Slip

This was just too darn funny not to share. It happened at Big Law last night. I was given a project, a “dupe and revise,” which means take a document on the system, save it as a new document and make the revisions. In this case, we were taking one client’s document and modifying it […]

Comma, Comma, Comma Chameleon

Okay. Now I ask you. All of you people out there who have jobs. Do you know how your firm’s name is spelled? Do you know whether or not there is a comma between the firm’s actual name and its corporate designation (e.g., L.L.P., Inc., P.C., Ltd.)? Some secretaries where I work apparently do not. […]

Pardon Me, Sir. Your Insecurity Is Showing.

First of all, let the record reflect that I’m writing this on my lunch hour. I just returned from the Park Shops and grabbing lunch for me and Bossette. I rode up in the elevator with one of the new associates. (In Acidman-speak, I suppose he would be a young pup, but I have another […]

Daddy’s Girl, Esq.

There is a very high-powered female attorney at our law firm. She is amazing. A very successful litigator, author of several respected legal treatises, scaler of Mount Kilamanjaro, mover of legal mountains large and small. A woman who swims in the most elegant of social waters. You get the idea. Her office used to be […]

Productive Close to the Week.

Even though I didn’t wash my car this weekend, I did manage to get a few things done just sitting here at the puta. Updated my blog no end! A real Joni blogathon. Oh, which reminds me, I did sponsor Fluttering Moth‘s blog for the Santa Clara (California) Humane Society this past weekend! Way to […]

Something Reminded Me of This.

And its too good not to share here. My boss got stuck in the elevator a few weeks ago. And she is a partner in the law firm where I work, fully capable of suing the dogsnot out of anyone she chooses. What did our building management do? (I didn’t hold my breath, since blue […]

Hell Week.

I survived training. Actually, training was a piece of cake. Literally. We ate like pigs; I feel much like a spring hog right now. We had cookies, candy, doughnuts. I took an hour for lunch and we got to leave early. Was it any wonder, then, that I didn’t want to go back to my […]

Midnight Musings.

Tomorrow I start a Word 97 (2000?) training class for three days. It will be excruciating. I don’t think they grouped us according to our skill level and I know for a fact one of the women in my class is hard of hearing. This isn’t so bad in itself, but she refuses to sit […]

Busy Bee.

The past two weeks have been, in a word, rough! Started working for my new assignment right after the Independence Day holiday. Been working late every night just to keep my head above water and my sanity intact. (I’ll let you know if its working next week!) My birthday (July 13) came and went fairly […]
