Re: The Dress …
My advisement as to why it was important to get the quirky dress: in case you end up wearing it for someone else instead. ;-)
JUST KIDDING.

Research
Peter,
John and I need you to come with us to Florida to interview Dr. Murray and Dr. Williams next week to see if they would be strong expert witnesses for our hearing in December and corresponding motions. Please prepare detailed research on their biographies. Read everything there is to read on them. I don’t want to miss a thing. I need to know every single detail of their lives, professional and personal, ahead of time. I don’t want to arrive at these meetings unprepared. Be thorough, Peter. Have my secretary book your flight, hotel, etc., same for me and John.
I also need you to draft a motion for a protective order for those documents we discussed in my office this morning. This motion should be tight but lengthy. Leave nothing unsaid, no stone unturned. You should be spending every waking hour on this. We cannot afford to lose this motion. We cannot afford to let the plaintiffs get their hands on these documents as they contain highly sensitive and privileged information.
Please also look into the possibility of a venue change for the Dr. Cannery matter. Removal could be an option. We need to pursue it if it is indeed a viable one. Research not only the possible alternate venues, but also the judges from each district. Have the library run cross-checks on each judge from Westlaw. Read every case each judge has ever ruled on. I recognize that this may be a lot of cases, hundreds perhaps, but the judge we are assigned will be a critical issue. Judges decide cases, Peter. Research every judge.
Last thing for now: Have opposing counsel in the Drug 5-D matter call me. It is better if you have him call me than if I call him directly. I need to appear to be in control at all times. Have him call me. I don’t make phone calls.

That’s a lot for one night. Is there any way to get a short extension? I know that I could do a much more thorough job with another day or two to finish these projects.

Double Date
Hey Hot Stuff,
So, we’re all set for tonight’s double date with Jen and James. I am so excited about this! I made a reservation for 9 PM (that should give you plenty of time to finish your work as it is Saturday and you shouldn’t even be working, hello? ;-). Try to be home by 8:15 PM so we can squeeze in some much-needed alone time, OK?

Peter,
I need you to look into something for me. Need it immediately. Check Drugs 9A–25D. I need a chart comparing and contrasting all relevant factors as they relate to liver and heart disease. Please also draft a report detailing your findings. I think this will ultimately be very useful for our hearing in December.
Need this by tomorrow AFTERNOON. Let me know if you have any questions, John, thanks.

Um, OK, but how can I go on a double date with Jen and James if I’m flying solo? Sorry for being grumpy about it, but you’re working more than you’re eating or sleeping these days. I’m sorry you have to work again. I’ll leave your dinner in the microwave.
Don’t work too hard.

Re: Memo
I do need something very important though. I need you to summarize the nine depositions I took last week and the week before in New York. They should be detailed summaries. Sue has the transcripts of the depositions on her desk. Have her makes copies of them for you. There were nine days of eight-hour depositions. Each deposition generated approximately 380 pages of text. That said, it should take you about five hours to summarize one deposition. This means you should have them done in three days, assuming you work fifteen hours a day.
After you summarize them, please create a chart with relevant tabs for all major issues that were discussed in the depositions.
I need this by Monday. That gives you over the weekend to work on them. Should be plenty of time. Like I said, five hours per deposition, working fifteen hours a day, you’ll easily finish them by Monday. In fact, if you are diligent, you’ll have them to me by Sunday.

Wedding Folder
Hey,
Did you ever get a chance to look over the wedding folder I put together? I need your input on the venue. If we want to do this in February, we’re going to have to make a decision sooner rather than later since these places book up really, really early (I know, hard to believe, but lots of these places are already booked up through the end of next year!!).
Are you coming home soon?
Love,
Me

This Weekend in Kiawah Island
Hey Baby,
Rose just gave me about forty hours worth of work to finish by Monday. Unfortunately, this means that I will have to work this entire weekend again. However, I am not going to give up our trip with my family to Kiawah Island. I’ll just work all day while you hang out with my parents and sister on the beach. I’ll still be able to have most meals with you. I may even be able to play one round of mini golf. I’m really sorry about this. There was nothing I could do. I didn’t have a choice.

Mother,
Unfortunately, I’m going to have to work this entire weekend. But, I’ll still have my evenings free to do fun things with the family and Izzy. I wanted to give you a heads-up so you’re not disappointed. It’s a really busy time for me at work. I’m assuming it’ll pass soon as this can’t last that much longer. I’ve been told things get busy in the legal world and then slow down. I’m really sorry about this weekend. I’m still going, and it’ll still be fun. Promise. I’ll just be gone during the day.
See you in a few hours.
Flight gets in around 7-ish.

Hey,
Are you on the beach with my folks? I just e-mailed Rose the first three deposition summaries (and I think I impressed her by drafting the outline for our motion to dismiss early and on my own initiative). I’m taking the rest of the day off! I’ll do the other summaries on Monday from the airport and when we get back. I’ll stay up all night on Monday if need be. E-mail me back. I’m walking on the beach as of now. My BB is with me.

You need to be more thorough. For a law firm of our caliber, this is unacceptable. Please redo them and make sure to include ALL relevant portions of my depositions. Also, where are the corresponding charts?

Re: Deposition Summaries
Peter,
I just reread your last e-mail. Do you realize that you had a glaring typo in it? You misspelled “Motion to Dismiss.” Unacceptable. We covered this issue from Day One when you joined the case—you must read every e-mail over and over again to ensure that there are NO typos in them. These e-mails, Peter, are how we, as the firm, communicate with the outside world—our clients and other rival law firms. We do NOT ever want them to think that we are sloppy. We are NOT sloppy. Unacceptble. Please re-draft your last e-mail to me again and omit the typo.
