Staff Appreciation Week

This week, I found out today, is staff appreciation week. I was delighted by a trip out to lunch and a gift of wine by my esteemed patron and boss. Office luncheons always bring out the best in the attorneys, particularly when stories of childhood memories involving electricity come out. A sample from one attorney: My aunt used to iron and, especially on hot days, would stand in a large bowl of cold water while doing it. Once, -- I was about six -- I found a long wire in my apartment, and decided to try to stick it in the light fixture in our bathroom. The whole floor lost power.

Anyway, electro-therapy aside, make sure you appreciate whatever staff you can tomorrow. And if you're not appreciated, I say walk. You don't need 'em.
