I'm not appreciated in my own time.

Law Practice

So we're moving my firm from a small space to a much bigger space in the building —- about 3 times as big. It's come a long way since there were just two lawyers and a secretary.

Today we realized that we need to have some sort of name or designation for the three conference rooms (small, medium, and GINORMOUS). Something classy, you know.

So I emailed around my suggestions to the attorneys and staff.

The CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES room, the SEE THEM DRIVEN BEFORE YOU room, and the HEAR THE LAMENTATIONS OF THEIR WOMEN room.

I think this is perfect. Imagine showing up to have your deposition taken, and the receptionist says "Ah yes, Mr. Plaintiff, you're in the CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES room. They're expecting you."

So far all I've gotten is awkward silence.

I get that a lot.

    My suggestions are: "The Choppah", "Mahs", and "The Pahty".

    How cool would it be to say things like:

    "Excuse me Mr. Plaintiff, they're ready for you now if you will please… GET TO THE CHOPPAH!"

    "Get your ass to Mahs."

    "See you at The Pahty, Mr. Client."

    I'd say the ginormous room should be called the 'green room'- cause this one's gonna land you on TV.

    I think you should call them the "small", "smaller", "and "smallest", to give the impression that the first has REALLY big conference rooms for all the big important meetings you have.

    That's incredible at how well your firm is growing, Ken. Congrats, that's really tremendous. Next stop? A functioning website…*grin*

    Do you have to get Union men to help you move this time?
