What do you do when you have down time at work?

Texas drivers…honest question. Why, why in tf do people just camp in the left lane? I’m talking doing maybe 5 mph over the limit in the left lane when people want to go faster and they can get over?? I can’t always see around and sometimes on hills I can see that one jackass is holding up a line of cars. What gives???

Hi all, new-ish associate here at a Virginia firm - quick question: if a pleadings filing deadline for a GDC case ends up being on a Saturday or Sunday, does that mean that it can actually be filed by that following Monday since the court and clerk's office will be open then?

Worst email accidentally sent to the wrong person? Yours or anecdotal...

Managers - do any of you have the ability to check in on your direct reports’ webcams without them knowing to make sure they’re working? The green light next to the camera keeps lighting up on my company computer and I’m getting paranoid haha

Just got turned down for a job I really wanted. No interview. I even had a referral, but they didn't even look at my book! Feeling empty and worthless right now.

Here’s to the introverts finally getting a chance to have a little control over how and when interactions happen with others.

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old. What I’d be interested in hearing about are the stories of how people have overcome the challenges. How did you sell that big idea? How did you fix a relationship? The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?

If you could ask a partner of your firm any question anonymously, what would you ask?
