(no subject)

I don't know if some of the people at work have been drinking crazy juice, but the past two days have been awful.

The highlight, though, had to be when one of the lawyers told me that someone from one particular team has been working their way through all the lawyers who're at work this week (three so far), apparently trying to get them to give a certain piece of advice about a particular situation. Because apparently the lawyers need to be advising that rather than do something the easy, quick(er) and most cost-effective way, the worker in question should instead be doing something which requires much more effort, is more complex and will take three times as long. And they're going to keep asking till they get told that's what has to be done. Uh huh.

I think tomorrow's suggestion will be that when anyone from that team phones, the first question the lawyers ask is "Are you asking about X?" and if the answer is yes, then they should just tell them they'll send them an email, before zapping off a stock response that says exactly the same thing as the three lawyers they already consulted are saying.
