I got to do some work in my friend's law office yesterday. It was my first experience with document review - looking through boxes and boxes of documents that may be useful evidence in the client's case. It's not glamorous work, but it is necessary. And something that new attorneys usually end up doing a lot of, since their hours are cheaper than other lawyers'. Anyway, my job yesterday was to go through a disorganized box of documents the client had provided in order to establish some sort of organization so they could be indexed for discovery. I didn't like the indexing part, but otherwise I actually sort of liked the organizing/review part. There's a forensic quality to going through documents and seeing how they tell a story.
Anyway, there I was, working on that for much of the day. At some point shortly after lunch one of my coworkers said, "You know, I could really use something sweet right now. Maybe chocolate." And then, just a few seconds later, another coworker walked in the door and said, "There's cookies and cupcakes in the lobby."
Then later, after having eaten said cookies and cupcakes, I felt thirsty. "I wish I had something to drink," I thought to myself. And immediately thereafter in walked in the water-delivery guy.
Nice office... One I'd really like to do more work in, so of course I made sure to say that...
