You can always tell when it's Monday.1. Your client calls you from court where he is waiting for you at a scheduled hearing in order to find out where you are and you are sitting at your computer in your jammies (and the hearing is 2 hours away).
2. An attorney calls to threaten that if the settlement check that was due in their office by the 18th isn't made available today that they are going to file a motion to set aside the settlement agreement, in which you had gotten the best deal for your client of all parties.
3. A client comes in and wants to discuss PERCEIVED problems with her deposition transcripts, with which there is no problem, and all the while you are sitting there thinking about the deadlines that are looming as you try to explain to the client that they are over-thinking the deposition, as the client goes on and on and on...
4. A new client comes in and tries to find ways to eliminate the fees he will ultimately be charged for all the work on his case but spends so much time doing so that he actually increases the amount of time for which he will be charged for that particular meeting.
5. At 7:00 p.m., after you have changed into sweatpants and a stained t-shirt, you hear a knock on the office door and open it to find a new client who didn't call to confirm his appointment (so you thought he wasn't coming) who has decided he wants to retain you and wants to discuss his case, ad infinitum. (Thank God I hadn't poured a martini yet.)
Thank God tomorrow is Tuesday. Let's pray that God didn't decide to extend Monday by 24 hours.
Amend. I mean, Amen.

I'll pay her the equivalent per week of her weight. At the rate she's losing, I should be able to get her for free.
