lawyer: copy this text into a new document and make sure the doc ID number is in the footer
me: okay we can do that for you, what matter number does it need to be saved to. i can't get a doc ID number for it unless it's saved on the system
lawyer: just copy + paste it into a new document

me: ...okay here's a LOCAL copy. there's no ID number yet bc i have to save it to the system first. please give me a matter number so i can do that.
lawyer: i don't understand why this can't be saved to the system

my co-worker: hello lawyer we CAN save it to the system but we need a matter number first
lawyer: oh okay here's the matter number

she said almost word for word the same thing that i did and he FINALLY got it ffs

yes he's a partner

idk what kinda drug i would need to make sense of this lady's atrocious handwriting but it clearly isn't caffeine
