I have this client at work that is... to be blunt getting screwed by his ex. Screwed big time. And the file frustrates me and I get upset about it.
Today, court was delayed for the 50 millionth time by the other lawyer as a stall tactic. This other lawyer is widely known to delay everything as an attempt to get the other party to give up. Well, I'm not giving up. I took the file home and put in 6 hours getting ready for court this weekend.
So I call the client and let them know, and hes super upset (understandable) and I had no answers for him. So I get bossman to call and try to calm them down, make things make sense.
I get back from lunch - the client sent me flowers, and a voicemail that essentially said sorry if he seem unappreciative, but he knows how hard I work and he's happy to be dealing with me.
My day is happy.
What has made your day today?
