Let There Be Chairs!

February 12, 2008 9:02 PM

es, after weeks of having a chairless office, we now have somewhere to sit. It's really pretty awesome--our office is looking more and more like a real office every day. We also had a networking event today where we handed out a bunch of our business cards (we have those, too) and met a bunch of the other lawyers in town. They all seemed pretty nice.

In fact, the only thing our office is really missing right now is clients . . . Oh, wait! We got a call today from the public defender's office assigning us more cases! So, actually, we have clients now, too. In addition, of course, to the clients we had on our own separately before.

So, all in all, things are looking pretty good right now. Assuming our appointments keep ramping up and we start getting some nonappointed cases, things should go just fine.

On a side note, I've never had business cards before. But now I do, and it's awesome. I basically want to give everyone I see my business card. I want to give random people on the street the card. I want to mail one to my mom. I'm dropping them in every free-lunch raffle I see. I'm going to burn through these things.

So, there you go.

The big upside of having chairs is that, conceivably, when we have downtime we can now have chair races. And the office is so big, we'd have plenty of space to race.

Also, all that talk about erecting a satellite on the roof has led me to this conclusion - I want to install a missile defense system. I think it is both a prudent response to these times of conflict and uncertainty, and it fuckin' rocks. We'd be like our own little autonomous nation. We could blow up Janesville. Finally.

Thoughts?

Great gravy, that's awesome news! I was afraid you guys would be having pow-wows, sitting cross-legged behind your desks with all your appointments. Not that I have anything against pow-wows, they just go really horribly with big clunky desks.

As an experienced chair racer, I caution you against racing chairs with plastic casters. When you race chairs having those wheels, the friction causes the plastic to expand and pop off of the metal posts that they're mounted on. If you're racing most efficiently, i.e. backwards like a hermit crab, you will go flying backwards and crack your head on the ground. Chair racing requires those chairs that have rollerblade wheels or old school solid rubber wheels.

I approve of chairs and chair racing as long as there are still many nice places to stand.

Mr. Vice,
I'm down with the chair races and the missile-defense system. And what's this talk about being "like" our own autonomous nation? It's right there in our partnership agreement, dude: we declare ourselves our own autonomous nation. Anyone who doesn't respect that is going to have to deal with the aforementioned missile-defense system.

Expat,
I don't do pow-wows. Mostly it's because my legs fall asleep, but also because sitting that way reminds me of traumatic duck-duck-goose experiences from childhood. Also, did you know that in Minnesota, they call it "duck duck grey duck"? What kind of retards decided to call it that?

Who,
It's yours for the asking.

Anonymouse,
Dammit! Our quest to procure the cheapest possible chairs resulted in us getting chairs with plastic casters. We might be fucked on the whole chair race thing.

RPM,
We know of many nice places to stand. However, if you want any pillows, it'll be $10 each.

Dee,
I fully intend to post pictures. It's just that there's not a lot to see right now--just a big empty white room with a few desks and some chairs. We're going to get some (fake?) plants and maybe do some painting soon, so I'll post pictures when that happens.
