You Know You Work For A Law Firm When...
1. Your resume is on a diskette in your pocket.
2. It's dark when you drive to and from work.
3. When your boss says, " We have a brief we need to file tomorrow - I need you here early, " it means: " Come in early, wait all day, skip lunch and plan to stay late because I won't give you the first draft until 3:30 pm and we really have until the last Federal Express leaves the airport to get it out."
4. You get really excited about a 2% pay raise.
5. Your office closes for a holiday and all you can think about is the hours you'll have to make up for taking that day off.
6. A partner comes into your office and wants you to work on a project, saying: "make it perfect, but, don't spend a lot of time on it because we can't bill the client for this." You're left wondering what you're supposed to do. You do the work, and get absolutely no credit for it in the end, since it wasn't "billable" hours.
7. The fire alarm goes off in the building, and no one in your office moves.
8. Your biggest loss from a system crash is that you lose your best jokes.
9. Your supervisor doesn't have the ability to do your job. Most days, you have the ability to do your boss's job.
10. Salaries of the members on the Executive Committee are higher than all the Third World countries' annual budgets combined.
11. Free food left over from meetings is your main staple.
12. You're already late on the work task you "just" got.
13. You "get" just about all of the above.
