This Was Sent To Me With "High Importance"
You know you work in a law firm when......
1. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different departments.
2. You've worked at the same firm for 6 years and worked for 10 different attorneys.
3. Your resume is on a CD in your pocket.
4. You get really excited about a 3% pay raise. (Ain't this a kicker)
5. Your biggest loss from a system crash is that you lose your best jokes.
6. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your boss' job.
7. Most days, you have the ability to do your boss' job.
8. Salaries of the members on the Executive Committee are higher than all the Third World Countries' annual budgets combined.
9. It's dark when you drive to and from work.
10. Communication is something your department is having problems with.
11. You see a good-looking person and know it is a visitor.
12. Free food left over from meetings is your main staple.
13. Being sick is defined as can't walk or you're in the hospital.
14. You're already late on the work task you just got.
15. You work 200 hours for the $100 bonus check and jubilantly say "Oh wow, thanks!"
16. Your boss' favorite lines are "when you get a few minutes", "in your spare time", "when you're freed up", and "I have an opportunity for you."
17. Vacation is something you roll over to next year or a check you get every January.
18. Your friends and family describe your job as "works with computers".
19. When your boss says, "We have a brief we need to file tomorrow - I need you here early," it really means: "Come in early, wait all day, skip lunch and plan to stay late because I won't give you the first draft until 3:30 and we really have until the last Federal Express leaves the airport to get it out."************************
20. You can comprehend just about all of the above.
Boy, the grandma sitting down the hall from me sure is having a different experience than I am.

You could also make a bumper sticker that says, "Please don't tell my mom I work in a law office, she still thinks I'm a piano player in a whore house"
Just trying to give you encouraging words(?)
Oh man do I hate the forwards.
