Soooo.... - Page 1996

So, I've got my desk cleaned off, almost all my personal crap is in the one bag I need. I'm ready to be outta here.

When I told the client that I work very close with I was leaving, he was (1) upset and (2) told me of a conversation he had with my soon to be ex-boss at lunch 2 days ago (before I gave notice of resignation). My boss related that he was worried I was going to get PO'd and leave as he was approached by two co-workers (S & J) who had gone in to speak with him to trash me and told him that he should request S as his sole secretary and get rid of me. I knew dirty work was afoot since S&J have been in closed door meetings with our interim office manager, and shortly thereafter we had a meeting in which 1/2 my bosses work was assigned to S. I should explain, that with the departure of a bunch of people from VA in January, S's current assignment has no work, so neither does she. I understand she wants to ensure her job and not get laid off. But, throwing me under a bus is a pretty crappy way to do it.

I thanked the client, told him I thought this did not reflect well on my co-workers and felt bad but was glad I'm on my way out the door. The IP community is small, but the chances of my running accross either of them is nil since neither will willingly work in SF.

The kicker is this, when an attorney leaves a firm, typically his clients go with him. Well, this client called me and told me he wants to transfer their work to where I am going, following me. That's a twist. I exepct they will be conflicted out from my new place for representing them. But, a conflict check is being run, just in case.

Sooooo... 30 Rock and The Office are back! With a vengeance. They were SO EXCELLENT last night. "TV: teacher... mother... secret lover... Urge to kill... fading... fading..."

Did Ugly Betty come back on last nite!?!?! Must check ABC.COM at lunch for full episode!

That's good to hear because the pre-strike episodes of The Office were pretty flat (while it has improved 30 Rock still doesn't do anything for me).

OK god bless Wikipedia. April 24th begins the last 5 shows of the season for Ugly Betty. Desperate Housewives, on the other hand, is back on Sunday.
