Well, the next 48 hours should be interesting. I'ma feel like a real lawyer by the end of it methinks. And for a change I'll actually get paid like one.
One of our firm's biggest clients (all our clients are in fact lawyers) wants me to go to an exam review proceeding with him in Tampa from 8-5 on Friday. Since our firm only does consulting, and the other person the Florida Bar will allow in the room is the examinee's "counsel," I'm officially taking the day off from my regular job and being this client's lawyer, for a day. We're going to be reviewing his answers on a specialization certification exam to see if we can't squeeze a few more points out of it so he doesn't have to take the test again.
He must really not want to take that test a second time, because he's paying me to drive down (2 hours away), and for a room at the Marriott (where the review proceedings take place) tomorrow night, and for a rental car. Should be a bit of an adventure. I never get out of the office or travel. Heck, on Friday I may even wear a suit. (Today at the office, as per usual, I'm wearing cargo shorts, a t-shirt, and slaps.)
Plus, even at my bargain rate of $135/hour, if I'm there from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., well, you can do the math. And instead of it going to the firm and me getting my usual paltry salary, it all goes to me, baybee.
Send lawyerin' mojo!
