Legally Rambling (November 19, 2009). As a practicing lawyer and CPA, I have been employed by a few professional firms in my time and that means professional office buildings. One of the things that strikes me as odd about professional office buildings is that they always come with a professional loiterer. You know what I am talking about - "that guy" who is always hanging out by the front door, or hanging out in the parking garage, or the guy that has his truck open and is practicing his golf swing in the middle of the day. Where do these people work? Who do they work for? I mean isn't there a job description for what they do? Hello! - Building Security! Where was this guy when my car was broken into a few weeks ago!
I mean - I own the place and I don't get to screw around this much - ok so I screw around - but I always pay for it later by working late or on the weekend - but these guys always look so relaxed during the work day! Kinda like they have found the secret to hiding during the work day and not getting busted by the man!
As a lawyer, who is always measured by either the billable hour, or by client expectations, I kinda wonder if these guys are subject to a performance measure at all! But, I just know that I am so type A+ that I could never do this and feel good about it. Or, I could probably loiter perhaps even dawdle for a while, but I could not pull it off - I would look like I was waiting for a cab! Yes, and I am the guy who knows the night cleaning crew by name and gets startled by the security guard walking through the suite at midnight!
Well, I guess they are not as bad as the smokers standing at the front door (#$%^%$@!) - OK, I'll save that for next time ... Ramble on!
