Sometimes attorneys do deserve their bad reps

[Prudence]

I consider my years as a secretary and personal assistant to be one of my greatest assets. I know the power staff wield and the strings happy staff can pull on one's behalf. Plus, if I mistreat my future assistants poorly my mother will kill me.

Well, today is Number 7, lucky number 7. The temp is an ex-Marine, which gives me hope.

SL, I appreciate your views, not to be snide, but I am leaning toward the head trauma.

In any case, contrary to my previous posting, the temps have been slightly behind the 8-ball, they sit down in a new environment, they get general here is X and here is how you save X, but that's pretty much it. Problem is, said attorney expects everyone to sit down and pick up where the previous temp left off and get her briefs filed with attachments and exhibits through osmosis. She is not good at communicating everything all at once, all the instructions come in pieces (or not at all) and then when A-B-C and Z are not hooked together properly, she has a melt down.

Perhaps one of the qualifications needs to be the ability to do a Vulcan mind meld? I think in this case, my head would really hurt, a Vulcan Migraine.
