In Search of Floating Sheep
posted in The Kitchen Sink |Allegedly there is a site out there that will allow me to download cute floating sheep for use as IM icons. If anyone out there knows of the existence of such a site, please email me.
In other news, there is no other news. I’ve just been working a lot this week. But at least I’m really appreciated. The senior partner called my office the other day at 10:30am. When I answered, her response was a disapproving, “I knew you’d already be in!” When I reasonably pointed out that it was ten thirty in the morning, she replied, “Yes, but you were there when I left last night too [at 10:30pm]. You work too hard. I’m going to keep an eye on you to make sure you’re not stretching yourself too thin.” I love my senior partner.
Actually, I love all the partners. One of the junior partners explained a court rule to me a couple of days ago which he dubbed “the 45 day rule.” When I asked him a question today, he said, “Well, according to the 45 day rule, you can only do X.” Noticing my puzzled look, he gently inquired, “Do you remember the 45 day rule?” Here’s how the rest of the conversation went:
Me: (*Silence, crickets chirping*) “Ummm. Yes?”
Him: “What’s the 45 day rule?”
Me: (*Damn*) “It’s, umm, that you can only do X after 45 days?”
Him: “You don’t really remember the 45 day rule, do you?”
Me: “No.”
Him: “It’s okay. [Explains rule again]”
Me: “Okay.”
Him: “You’re not going to remember that, are you?”
Me: “Probably not.”
Him: (*Shrugs*) “Okay.”
