Just for Fun - February 18 Earlier this week I had one of the most fun conversations I've had in a long time. It was a short one, with an attorney from another law firm with whom I have spoken on other occasions. It took place around 4:45 p.m., and you'll have to put in the Southern accents for yourselves. Attorney: Could I please get Associate 1's telephone number? Me: Well, this is her office number... Attorney: I mean her e-mail. I'm brain-dead this afternoon. Me: That's all right. Her e-mail is Associate 1 at our-service-provider dot com. Attorney: That's an easy one. Me: Yes, it is. Attorney: Is she there, by the way? Me: No, she's already left for the day. Attorney: You know, in my next life I'm coming back as a lawyer who keeps her kind of hours. Me: All right, but you have to be at the office at the crack of dawn. Attorney (using deadpan voice and not missing a beat): I don't want her hours. Me: Nice talking with you again! Attorney: Same here. Goodbye! Me: Goodbye! Of course, the next day I repeated the conversation to Associate 1, and to everyone else in the law firm. Our days are often deadly serious, and when there's a chance for some fun, we have it.
