Sigh. Just got an email from potential other job. Something came up, trying to reschedule. Hopefully she can fit me in later enough in the day on Friday that I can just sneak out early. Oh well. Gives me time to relax getting home and do some housework before window guy comes. And gives me a bit of a buffer too in case bosses come up with last minute shenanagins.
I've started a new project...they seem surprised at my insistence on doing this lol. I'm setting them up a read-only precedent folder - full of documents they will be using but need to change on a regular basis - things like retainer agreements, certain irs correspondence etc. I kind of put my foot down and said dammit we NEED to do this after a bit of a bs morning in which technology was eluding me and I couldn't find the documents big boss man wanted and wanted right then and there. They've had issues where the documents they've used as precedents got saved over or altered when they shouldn't have been. So I said f it. Let me know what documents you want in there - find me hard copies if that's all you can find I'll work off that! And let's get it done! I've only done two documents so far - retainer agreement and a fax cover page lol but Boss Lady is pleased (and happily surprised) with my use of forms and setting up the files as read only so you can't save over them easily.
I've tried to convince them of other digital "best practices" but i think that plea has fallen on deaf ears due to the way boss man works. Hey, what he's doing works for him so...*shrug*
Joys of life in big law. You learn the data management quite quickly.
Anyway. Should head off to sleepy land soon anyway. All my peeps, hugs to y'all!
