Huh?

Yesterday I realized there is a fundamental difference between me and other people I work with. The girl who does reception buzzed me for a weekly case status meeting. So, I come downstairs and I'm standing there waiting. She says, "I hate case status meetings..."

So, of course, I ask, "Why?"

"Because then I have things to do and I have to update the calendar to reflect everything that was assigned and it just makes work for me."

Um, that's weird. Cuz I was under the impression that having billable activity means the firm makes money and we all get paid and can eventually maybe get paid more. I actually look forward to case status meetings because I start working my way through my running to-do list and when I start running out of items, I start envisioning the unemployment line. New stuff to do means job security. Plus, being busy makes the day go so much faster.

Just sayin'.
