I find this amusing

I suppose this is a bit off topic, but I think the election season is indeed relevant to contract attorneys, since the election results will have a definite effect on our business. I will let you partisans argue which way would be better, but I find this sequence interesting.

First, we have a Barry website with this:

Then, it changes to this:

Isn't that sweet? Seems very peaceful and happy. Wonder why it changed? What happened in between? Maybe it was this (hint: it was)

I think it is sad to be embarrassed by your supporters. On the other hand, it is sometimes understandable.

Go West, young man

Perhaps you'll meet an Oklahoma cheerleader.

Thanks to Ace.

Actual communication from management

Sign in the bathroom, posted because of repeated problems with clogged toilets purportedly caused by people flushing paper towels or something:

Please do not flush anything other than toilet paper.

Needless to say, I have not yet figured out how to fully comply with that directive.

Well, how about that

For only the second time, traffic on this blog has topped 1,000 hits in a single month. Still growing, of course -- still four days to go in September. Figured it was worth it to blog from behind enemy lines to say thanks for coming by.

Something in the air tonight?

A guy I know took a gig with another agency when the last project we were on ended a couple weeks ago. That new project apparently sucks, so he was lobbying to return to this agency. As it is, we are adding people to the project I am on now, so he'll be back, which led to this brief email exchange:

Him: So, is there a lot of excitement about my return to [the agency]?

Me: Oh, yeah. People are building floats for the parade.

Another career hope dashed

Today at work I tossed out a potential career to take up instead of being a temp (or a lawyer at all, for that matter). Unfortunately, the consensus was that I would need a fair amount of medical training. So I guess kidney pirate is out.

Actual temp conversation, you pick the number

Having spotted a temp in the halls who bore a striking resemblance to one Pooh Bear, a contract attorney was led to ask:

CA1: When did Winnie the Pooh grow a beard and become a contract attorney?

CA2: Are you saying there's someone reviewing documents wearing a large red shirt and no pants?

CA1: I'm not saying I saw such a person, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he's here.
