Still At Work

10:20 pm: Still at work. Helping out (how did I mixed up with this?) with a high profile project. We had to put together a large packet of papers, multiple sets, each attachment coded with a letter-tabbed sheet. 40 in all. Then, we had to rearrange all of them.

This is what “we” is defined as: three attorneys. Rearranging paper. And trying not to f*ck up the order. Almost half of a million dollars of legal education, plus another quarter of a million dollars in college education in one room. Dedicated to rearraging documents. And trying not to f*ck up the order. We ultimately settled on a “caller” system, where one of us would call out the document, say where it was and then where to put it. Lather, rinse, repeat. Forty times. $750,000 well spent.

They certainly don’t show this on Law & Order (or at least, it’s sexier on Law & Order)

Addendum: At 10:30, I was released on my own personal recognizance. I was allowed to leave without posting bail, but have to be in court tomorrow.
