So I have about 600 or so pages of legal research in a Microsoft word document. I sometimes go up to 1400 or so, depending on the subject matter. Anyhow, the damn thing froze and I'm freaking terrified that even if autosave or my last save kicks in, I'm gonna be losing about 200ish pages of stuff that I worked on for like a couple hours or something. This fits nicely into the bad things category.
Also I just realized I sometimes compose 6000 pages a day of legal crap. Though admittedly on average we're looking at something like 3000-4000. Some days it's only 2000 and other days it's 1000. This of course assumes I'm not in trial all day or something. Though if I am, I'm usually penning out notes by hand (because the judges won't let you have a laptop on in the courtroom) about what the crap is going on in trial etc.
Wonder what would happen if I printed out and bludgeoned my client with these 6000 pages. He, like many people, say I don't do anything. That would be the stuff I've done today... in the past [looks at watch] 17 hours or so.... about the civil rule violations of opposing counsel and the motions, and the case in general... I'm typing up preemptively plus the research for them. Did I mention opposing counsels hate me? They do as a rule.
200 pages gone and I've lost the train of thought I was using to write them (because I had moved the hell on. I do the job of three (3) lawyers with the snarkiness of ten (10).
