work drama.
another fck-up with the brief. minor. the postage meter was set for the wrong date on the papers served to opposing counsel. which is minor since the court was correctly served. and the actual proof of service sent to opposing counsel had the correct date. I'm no lawyer, but I don't think it should be assumed that the person issuing a proof of service is lying under oath. I though the default is honesty, not perjury. anyway, I didn't change the postage meter, and don't know who did, though I should have double-checked it. however, i was too busy running to the post office with a box of briefs at 5:55pm -- couldn't one of the attys done that in the meantime?
so anyway, now i'm stressing about how this is going to fall on my head.
(why don't they just fire me and get it over with? why don't I just quit?)
apparantly I'm not good enough to be 100% perfect in every detail the last hour before deadline with the two of them breathing down my neck and rushing because they're still revising and drafting at 4:30 pm the day it's due and won't give me a final copy so I can complete production accurately. and I DONT CARE. it's unreasonable. because I know that's impossible. Or unpossible. (yes, I still make Ralphie jokes, even when I'm fuming. I have to keep my humor somehow....)
I haven't been officially addressed regarding this matter. maybe I won't be. though last time it took nearly a week, so who knows. And one of the attys was already all pissy to me -- I knocked before coming into her office to get a file and she was on the phone. I didn't knock that loud. I didn't know she was on the phone. And besides, if I come in without knocking I get dirty looks. Or I get a funny anecdote. It just depends on her mood. (Her moodiness is not very sexy, I might add.)
{rant mode off} now i feel better so i can enjoy my lunch break.
