Meetings
This past Friday we
closed the doors and hung up the phones a little early so that we could have an
end of the month meeting. Everyone here
at Rice, Amundsen & Caperton works very hard but they also knows how to
have a good time and actually enjoys being around each other. These meetings
are some of my favorite times at work.
There is always a purpose to the meetings (this time it was bonuses)
which is nice. However, my favorite part sitting back with everyone and telling
stories, jokes and just having a good time.
In my opinion, it’s a
rare thing that staff in an office is willing to stay past five on a Friday for
anything, much less an informal meeting.
The fact that the majority of the staff was here and laughing along
until past six is a good indicator of what a fun place to work this is. Prior to becoming a law clerk, I always
assumed that law offices were the types of places where everyone was very upset
and no one liked each other. I guess,
somewhat juvenilely, I expected something similar to Scrooge’s office in A
Christmas Carol, maybe without the ghosts. By working here, I got the exact
opposite. Normally, everyone is in a
good mood and, even though they are working hard and getting a lot done for a
lot of clients, they have time to tell a good story or make a joke.
I feel very fortunate
that I get to work at an office with such fine, hardworking, and interesting
people.
