Had to take an impromptu weekend call and one person was on the line from a softball game, not watching a softball game but literally playing in the outfield 😂

Bravo for juggling priorities and multitasking, but I would have been even more impressed if they were batting.😂

I am now gathering a mental sound image of being on the call, hearing a loud “TINK” followed by a lot of huffing and puffing, a grunt-filled scraping sound, and a loud and different voice yelling “SAFE!” Yeah, that would be a memorable meeting call!😁

He had the courtesy to mute after we gave him a hard time for panting running for a foul ball 😂 Really takes the seriousness out of the meeting for the weekend so it was kind of nice!

Would be really great if they were at the Bada Bing 😂

My client wants both parties to list assets & liabilities as an exhibit to their prenup without values, but waive the right to know the actual valuation of those in the prenup itself. My initial thought is this is a terrible idea & would probably make the prenup easily voidable since a main requirement for a prenup is for both to understand the nature and value of the other’s assets. I will research in my jurisdiction to confirm, but has anyone ever heard of/done this? Thoughts?

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out. Should I start panicking or simply start looking elsewhere? They even they even told me if I was looking elsewhere or planned on doing so also. I found it weird in a way.
