On the paralegal, how come no one's acknowledging the OP's role in this mess? Sure, maybe the paralegal sucked, but by handling it that way it sounds, it was made worse. I like the TM approach - give her the work; if it's not right, give it back until it is correct. This is frustrating, and you'll have to set artificial deadlines. But is she at least responsive? I have a para who is minimally so, in part due to my own failure to establish the proper dynamic. I am working to remedy this, but it's a pain in the ass. Problem is, she generally does it right, so I can't say too much.
Now, my secretary is another story. Thank fucking God I'm getting a new one soon. The secretary filling in for mine was practically in tears the other day over the disaster that is my admin's workspace and the deplorable state of my contacts database and other important thing. Plus, she's a fucking snoop. Whew, sorry, I needed that.

Staff?
Every staff person of any position with whom I have ever worked sucks. I hate them all, except one secretary, whom I liked, but who took advantage of that like to surf the internet for 7 hours a day on my firm's dime. I was sort of sad when I fired her.
Except for slave, all of the subordinate attorneys who have suffered at my hands suck too. I hate them all. Except slave. He was okay. For a midskooler.
