What did you do at work today?

Cloud · 03-12-2010, 12:10 PM

So far today I have:

1) Talked to my boss (who's at his second home in Austin) 3x
2) Revised a federal pleading and filed it with the court online
3) Retrieved a file-stamped copy of a pleading I filed online in state court yesterday
4) Had a conference with an associated attorney about the status of a case
5) Ordered public record documents from the Secretary of State
6) Found a document that my boss wanted and emailed it to him
7) Received a faxed pleading, scanned it and sent to my boss for review.

And it's 10 am here. It's a slow day (bosses all gone), and later today I will attend a one-hour webinar on keyword term searching (fascinating, I know); and probably do filing and summarizing deposition.

OK. I wrote an article about the EPA and lead. Fascinating stuff.

But I have officially performed one work-related task. I'm done!
