LESSON NUMBER ONE: You should check your threads early and often. That not only means when you are in the basement, it also means after you leave the basement as well. Unless you have very good reason not to (for example when you are asleep, fucking a 9, or jacking off to pornotubes), you should be checking your threads every minute. One of the last things you should do before you retire for the night is to check your threads. That is why we give you 180s. I can assure you that all of are pumos and lurkers expect you to be checking your threads often. I am not asking you to do something we do not do ourselves. I can assure you that tbf, :D, lisa rowe, etc. all check their threads often.

Yesterday I was working with a relatively new poaster on a flame which both he and I knew was a rush. It was for a relatively new female poaster whom we were trying to impress. The poaster did a nice job under pressure. Before I left the board at about 3:00 AM I sent a gchat to this poaster asking him to perform a task–say "u mad??" to a bunch of poasters criticizing my OP. I assumed the task was done. Turns out the poaster did not check his gchats until the morning. I assumed the task had been completed. It had not been. In this case it was no harm no foul, the thread got bumped and no one seemed to notice, but I think we can all imagine scenarios when this could be a disaster.

Re: CHECK YOU EMAILS OFTEN [sic]

Now more than ever there are many talented lawyers and law firms competing for our business. Doing really good legal work is not enough. Clients expect that and well they should given what we charge for our services You must all realize that we are in a service business. In this day and age of faxes, emails, internet, etc. clients expect you to be accessible 24\7. Of course, that is something of an exaggeration — but not much.

LESSON NUMBER ONE: You should check your emails early and often. That not only means when you are in the office, it also means after you leave the office as well. Unless you have very good reason not to (for example when you are asleep, in court or in a tunnel), you should be checking your emails every hour. One of the last things you should do before you retire for the night is to check your email. That is why we give you blackberries. I can assure you that all of our clients expect you to be checking your emails often. I am not asking you to do something we do not do ourselves. I can assure you that John Quinn, Peter Calamari, Mike Carlinsky, Faith Gay, Fred Lorig, etc. all check their emails often.

Yesterday I was working with a relatively new associate on a project which both he and I knew was a rush. It was for a relatively new client whom we were trying to impress. The associate did a nice job under pressure. Before I left the office at about 7:30 I sent an email to this associate asking him to perform a task — fax a draft letter for review and comment. I assumed the task was done. Turns out the associate left the office and did not check his emails until this morning. I assumed the task had been completed. It had not been. In this case it was no harm no foul, but I think we can all imagine scenarios when this could be a disaster.
