Observations

1. I am an assistant for a lawyer. When I answer the phones, I always say he's busy, as if they called him directly, they would be billed for his time.
Nobody ever wants to talk to the receptionist.
I'm very friendly! You should want to talk to me!

People ask me all the time if I'm a lawyer, that I'm not qualified to give them information.
People always say

"He's always busy! Why can't I talk to him directly?"
and I say
Yes, he is always busy. Hence why... he hired a receptionist. Sdfsdfsjdf

AND DID I MENTION that we're taking a firm field trip next week to watch the new Michael Jackson movie for lunch?
YEAH, BEST LAWFIRM EVER.



2. When people get all freaked out about 2012, thinking the world is going to end..
They think, well the Mayan calendar ended December 21, 2012, so that's when the world is going to end too, right?
Or
Maybe?

They just got sick of writing the calendar. I mean, the same 4 seasons over and over for a thousand years, I think we can predict this patterns well past 2012.


3. Now I've mentioned it on facebook, but I think its worth mentioning again:
Last week my boss was trying to find a file that apparently went missing. He didn't know what happened to it, and in a moment of exasperation said "This is madness!"

Larissa, the ever mindful movie quote-er, couldn't resist the chance to yell "THIS IS SPARTAAAAA"

Pause for silence.
Has he not seen that film?
He doesn't say anything, just turns around and walks away from my desk as I quickly look back at my computer screen and look busy.

We must never speak of this again.
