I’m still shaking my head at this one. Dirty LAWndry reader, “Sam”, wrote in to tell us about the drama that unfolded at his firm earlier today.
“Today was one of the craziest days ever. I’m not a lawyer, but I just sat for the February bar and I’m waiting for my results. Anyway, I’ve been working for a small personal injury firm since August of last year. To outsiders, our firm may appear to be pretty conservative. However, there are a bunch of people here that act to the contrary. The boss, who’s married, has been having an affair with one of the paralegals. Everyone pretty much knows about it because they’re so obvious. They are constantly complimenting one another and giggling at inside jokes. Yesterday, the paralegal had a bit of an attitude. No one knew why until the s**t hit the fan today. Apparently, our boss and the paralegal went shopping together during the day. Our boss asked the paralegal what she wanted, and instead of buying it for her, he bought it for his wife. Just now, the paralegal’s boyfriend comes storming into the office wanting to fight our boss. And get this, the boyfriend wasn’t even mad that the boss was sleeping with his girlfriend. Rather, he was mad that the boss had stopped giving the paralegal gifts. Apparently, he had a little gig selling the gifts on e-bay. It seemed to take a long time for security to get to our suite (which is another concern of mine). During that time, our boss and the paralegal’s boyfriend are duking it out. When it was over, the office looked like a tornado had passed through it.”
