I've been working with attorneys for six years now and like rhetoricians, two-year olds, and drunks, they say the darnedest things.
~ "I don't like to sit in jeans"
~ "My signature looks fat"
~ "Never book me in a middle seat, that's where poor people sit"
~ "HR doesn't need to know about this"
But as the old adage goes, actions speak louder than words:
~ I once worked with an attorney who, despite being a completely upstanding family man, would roll into the office each day dressed like he'd just come off a hard drunk. Tie-dyed T-shirt, acid washed jeans, three day beard. Closing that day? No problem, just stall the client while he shaves in the bathroom.
~ I once worked with an attorney who developed a dependence on Mirado Black Warrior No. 2 pencils. He couldn't use anything else. He'd special order boxes and boxes of them and stash them all over his office. It was the cedar wood they were made from, he'd claim. I guess it's true what they say, "Once you go black..."
