As you have hopefully figured out, I am a legal secretary. I work for a mid-size law firm in a big city. Sometimes I think I'm too cool for school and then I remember what I do for a living. I work for the following people:
Partner 1: Senior Partner. Wife and 4 kids. Loves to complain about money, even though he makes 7 figures a year. Is generally cool, except when it comes to last minute decisions regarding pretty much everything. His catchphrase is "Uhhhhh...On second thought...".
Partner 2: Junior Partner. Wife and newborn twins. Sometimes I'm convinced he's a woman because he's not only more gossipy than a gaggle of gay men, he also likes to come by my desk and discuss his extensive footwear collection. His catchphrase is "What's going on?".
Partner 3: Between Junior and Senior Partner. Wife and no kids. Major anger issues. His catchphrase is "GO F--- YOURSELF!!!!!"
Associate 1: Fresh out of law school. Reminds me of Dakota Fanning. Very sweet and hardly gives me anything to do. I like her.
Associate 2: Thinks he's a partner. Likes to throw his weight around, literally. He gains at least 20 pounds every three months from all of the "important business lunches" he attends.
I am referred to as Secy, which is short for Secretary.
I also do not officially work for 3 other partners, but I might as well since their secretary claims not to speak English when given an assignment. Those partners like to approach me and say, "Secy could you help me out with this? Mistinguette (the name of their secretary) doesn't understand complex English." Fantastic.
