Deep breaths

Who gets lost on her way to work?

That'd be me. I took a shortcut. The same one I take home every single day... except this time.. I took it going to work instead of going home. I end up getting lost!!!

I get to work and we're blocked in front of our building. Truthfully, I don't think they're doing any road work. I think they take pleasure in seeing me stomping from 5 buildings down in my jessica simpson unreasonably tall heels shooting daggers at their direction the entire way.

9:00 AM Co Counsel arrives to drop off some evidence that he has been making. He doesn't ever leave it with me because he likes to keep it within his possession. Retains control of it that way. Princess Pearl (one of the lovely legal assistants in the office) takes off running toward the breakroom where I'm discussing who knows what happily with Madame Hearsay (my boss). She's flustered and spits out "Co Counsel is here.. hide!"

9:05 AM Princess Prima Donna (legal assistant to Madame Hearsay) comes stomping into the break room. "Where are the depositions the court reporter brought yesterday. Co Counsel would like to see them."

Are you kidding me? Normally, when you get depositions YOU look at them so YOU can determine how to question those witnesses and what evidence you have received from their responses... or in his case the lack of responses they gave.

"They're in my office where they belong." This was my snippity response because I'm sick of his freakin' interference!

He leaves them where they belong. Probably because he overheard my response.

Here's the kicker

Princess Prima Donna: "He'd like you to send all the finished questions when you're done."


If it weren't for my cute new springy J Crew white dress with it's little pink flower pattern ... this day would be shot.

Time to go work on Co Counsel's questions so that I can send them to him. Would it be terrible if I sent him fake questions?
