Are you sure?
"Interviewing someone the day before New Year's Eve is pretty stupid. I had about fifteen things to get done before the end of the year and mostly, almost exclusively, I was focused on getting a facefull of cocktails on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. I had a pretty solid trifecta of collegiate drinking with college friends in town for the holidays to look forward to. In the mean time, there were many briefs to finalize and ship out the door before the holiday. Like every other firm in town, we file massive amounts of paper before both Christmas and New Years, under the mistaken assumption that our opponents will not be able to craft a solid answer due to the intervening holiday. Of course, that's incredibly naive and childish, since every clerk and judge alive will grant liberal extensions to every respondent this time of year. But who am I to question management? I just spit out the standard paper and move on to the next pointless procedural argument. I am not inclined to offer anything other than passing-grade work this time of year, since the bonus was long ago decided. If the bonus is decent, I'll kick it back up to my usual B to A grade paper (depending how interested I am in the case and how much I like my client) around mid January. But for now, its all the canned stuff."
Maybe all Philly lawyers talk this way?
