Work Anger
by At my firm, we've got a list of all our cases by our file number, docket number and plaintiff name. I had to use this list for a huge project that I'm doing. One of my co-workers told me to be sure I didn't include any closed cases. I thought, "How can you tell if a case is closed from the list?"
After certain numbers in the list, there are asteriks (*). Then, at the bottom of that section, there is this type:
* CLOSED
That signaled to me that every case with an asterik after it was closed. Is that logical?
That is not the case, though. Every asterik does not mean that the case is closed, it's the beginning of a certain group of plaintiffs. I now have to re-do about 30 hours of work.
I think I feel a sick day coming on.

ouch.....i'm so sorry about that!! is there a way around doing the extra hours???
Nope. I'm not going to come in overtime or anything, but I absolutely HATE doing this, and now I have to do it for twice as long.
AH!!! GOTTA LOVE LAWYERS!!!
Ugh. That's terrible. Do you have to start over completely, or just find the ones that you though were closed but really weren't?
I've got the ones that I thought were closed. Someone else brought it to my attention. I have to add the missing information to about 150 separate letters and analyze where it should be and what it will change. I'd be better off just starting over.
demand triple overtime!!!!
i put closed on all of my letters i send to people huge red stamp, this way they know im the boss and they cant alter what i say, it must be done
Whenever i see a lawyeer i'm all like ' hey lawyer man can you lawyer me a car '
and he'll be like " yo , you need fiber son "
so i pull fiber out of my pocket and eat tons of it, in front of his face until he says " ok ok no more "
