Shhhh Don't Tell My Partners (JAH)

Friday, March 19 (Day 8): This will come as no suprise to those who know me, I am a very difficult person to work for. I have been practicing law for 20 years and have had 34 secretaries. That says a little something about what a "joy" it is to work for me. I contend it is b/c I am misunderstood. Others suggest that it is b/c I am impatient, stubborn, controlling, rigid, hard-headed, etc., etc. Well, I have two people working for me right now that somehow manage to cope with the difficulties of working with me. My paralegal has been doing it for almost 15 years. My secretary has been doing it for over 2 years. Both are pretty remarkable for making it so long. They are excellent at what they do and I am very fortunate to have them working with me. My gift today was to let them know in a very small way how much I appreciate there work and dedication. I let both of them leave about 3 hours early today to enjoy the first real sunny, semi-warm Friday that we have had this Spring. [I ended up having to type a 2 page document myself via the old hunt and peck method. It was quite humorous.] Susan and Belinda, thank you for all that you do AND all that you put up with. You guys are the best!!
