My Day Thus Far

This is an interpretation, often with what people meant rather than what they actually said.

Me: "Hello there, trial court clerk. Can we have copies of some exhibits?"
TCC: "No problem! I'll get them scanned and send them--Oh. Wait. I guess the trial attorney designated them all, so we sent them over to the Court of Appeals."
Me: "All of them?"
TCC: "Yup."
Me: "Okay... Um, when did they get sent over?"
TCC: "January."
Me: "But we weren't even appointed until Feb--Nevermind. Thank you. I'll call the Court."

*I freak out with Boss for a few mins and Boss agrees to take charge*

Boss: "Hello, case manager. It appears you have our exhibits. Can we have copies?"
CM: "I don't have time to make copies."
Boss: "But we were hoping to file our brief by Friday..."
CM: "Why didn't you order the exhibits earlier?"
Boss: "Because your new system is stupid and we never had any problems with getting exhibits until you changed everything for no reason."
CM: "All right. Well, call the trial court clerk and have him fax us a request so we can send the exhibits back to the trial court, and then he can make copies for you."
Boss: "...Can't I just ask you to send the exhibits back right now?"
CM: "No, it has to be all official and stuff."
Boss: "Okay. Great. Thanks so much for your help. *hangs up phone and turns to me* "We're asking for a thirty-day extension on the brief."
Me: "I figured. Wax poetic in the motion about injustice and bureaucracy?"
Boss: "Yup."
Me: "Excellent."
