That feeling when you are reviewing the file of a recently departed senior attorney and realize that the statute of limitations on his case expires Friday, and he didn't tell anyone or calendar the deadline. 😭

We had this one attorney who didn’t tell anyone he didn’t have Adobe on his computer… I found out when I cleaned out his laptop. Wtf was he doing the entire time?!

Same attorney wouldn't use his electronic signature or let the paralegals apply it for him. Instead, he'd print the ENTIRE DOCUMENT (usually 20+ pages), sign it and then give it to the paralegal to scan and file. We told him countless times to stop printing everything, or at the least, just print the signature page.

Random question for anyone who has ever exchanged/gotten a replacement away travel suitcase. Is there any flexibility to get a different color? My interior zipper broke and I stopped in a store to ask if they do repairs and they said to bring it in and they’ll just replace it. I wouldn’t hate switching the color but feel weird asking for some reason

I’m interviewing for a Director of Marketing and Communications role. Although it’s a little bit of a stretch with things I’ve never done before, I think I could do it. However I’m having a bit of imposter syndrome due to my age (27).

I’m worried they’ll take one look at me and assume I’m too young to handle it. Same goes for anyone I’d be managing.

Any advice/tips?

The manager interviewing told me that for me to get promoted so fast in just a few years show that I must be exceptional worker & have great skill set. Yet was being offered low.
