So lame, sorry AAE's. I work with a lot of different offices and I'm stretched thin as a lot of people know so I guess that's why they are checking in. I don't have a habit of being late though and if I ever need more time I ask as far in advance as possible.

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.

How do you approach collecting documents from a client in response to discovery requests? Particularly with broad and vague document requests that leave you guessing about what the other side is looking for, even after you meet and confer.
