You Know You Work For a Law Firm When:

 

 

You know you work for a law firm when:
>
>1. Your resume is on a flash drive in your pocket.
>
>2. It’s dark when you drive to and from work.
>
>3. When your boss says, ” We have a brief we need to file tomorrow – I need
>you here early, ” it means: ” Come in early, wait all day, skip lunch and
>plan to stay late because I won’t give you the first draft until 3:30 pm
>and we really have until the last Federal Express leaves the airport to get it
>out.”

>4. You get really excited about a  2% pay raise.
>
>5. Your office closes for a holiday and all you can think about is the
>hours
>
>you’ll have to make up for taking that day off.
>
>6. A partner comes into your office and wants you to work on a project,
>saying: “make it perfect, but, don’t spend a lot of time on it because we
>can’t bill the client for this.” You’re left wondering what the hell you’re
>supposed to do. You do the work, and get absolutely no credit for it in the
>end, since it wasn’t “billable” hours.
>
>7. The fire alarm goes off in the building, and no one in your office
>moves.
>
>
>8. Your biggest loss from a system crash is that you lose your best jokes.
>
>9. Your supervisor doesn’t have the ability to do your job. Most days, you
>have the ability to do your boss’s job.
>
>10. Salaries of the members on the Executive Committee are higher than all
>the Third World countries’ annual budgets combined.
>
>11. Free food left over from meetings is your main staple.
>
>12. You’re already late on the work task you “just” got.
>
>13. You “get” just about all of the above.
