To lighten the Monday blahs, here's a list we can all relate to (I did not create this, although I wish I did, I found this years ago on the internet):
1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4pm and then bring it to me - the challenge of a deadline is always refreshing.
2. If it's really a rush job, run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going - that helps.
3. Always leave without telling me where you are going - it gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.
4. If my arms are full of papers, boxes or supplies, don't open the door for me - learning to open doors with my arms full is good training.
5. If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is a priority - let me guess.
6. Do your best to keep me late - I like the office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do.
7. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret - leaks like that could cost me a promotion.
8. If you don't like my work, tell everyone - I like my name to be popular in conversation.
9. If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down - in fact, save them until the job is almost done.
10. Never introduce me to people you are with, especially clients - when you refer to them later, my shrewd sense of deduction will identify them.

This list always makes me smile, Patti. I think that's because every member of the legal team can relate! Vicki
