More News From The Office
posted in Friends, Family, Et Al., Lawyering and the Like |Since y’all seem to like the work stories, here are two more funny exchanges. One’s between another associate on my team and the other junior partner, JP2 (he’s below the SP, but more senior than the other JP), and the other is an email exchange between me and JP2:
JP2 and Associate
Associate: Did you get a chance to look over the objections I emailed?
JP2: Yes, it looks good.
Associate: So I can just print them out and give them to JC to file?
JP2: Yes. I generally find objections are more effective if they’re filed with the Court. Those silent objections don’t seem to work as well.
An (email) exchange between me and JP2
JP2: The letter is excellent. Let her rip…
Me: Thanks. I am so lame for asking, but by ‘[l]et her rip,’ do you mean forward the letter to X and ask him to review, sign and deliver it?
JP2: Yup.
[Followed promptly by this email]
JP2: FYI – ‘yup’ signifies my agreement with your statement.
Me: I’m only mildly lame! =)
[Followed seconds later by a phone call from JP2.]
JP2: Don’t be offended!
Me: (Still laughing hysterically) I’m not offended! The smilely face was supposed to signify that I thought it was funny.
JP2: Okay. Just checking.
