[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So... don't participate.  Really, what a weird thing to get riled up about.[/quote]

I'm not riled. Just tired of it. I need a lawyer appreciation day! Someone get me a Starbucks gift card! :wink: [/quote]

Don't many lawyers get things like paid maternity leave, and year end bonuses?  If so, I'm happy to trade those for my gift card (this year I got $20 to Target).  [/quote]
Not the OP, but no.  We need to have 2300 billable hours a year, time off paid or not is a luxury we don't have.  Admittedly, pay is good above the 2300 though.[/quote]

Are you a mom?  How many days did you take off when your child was born.  I assume from this answer you went back the next day.  Am I wrong?[/quote]

NP here - and a lawyer.  I didn't even take off the days my kids were born.  Even when my first was born as a preemie.  I was at the hospital, in early labor, emailing clients.  My water had broken and I was in labor and there was nothing else that could be done but wait.  So I grabbed my phone and worked.[/quote]

Any work that's not in front of the client (e.g. the kid in my case) doesn't count as work.  At least that's what teachers are told over and over again. [/quote]
