But my favorites were Randy and Mahesh. They had their own ways of letting people know how much they worked. Mahesh would tell you: "I worked to 9 last night." Randy was more subtle: "Yes, Mahesh did stay until 9. I saw when he left."
I told someone who stayed there after I left about Mahesh and Randy. About a year after I left he forwarded an email. Mahesh send an email firmwide one Monday: "I had a client meeting Sunday afternoon in the second floor big conference room. I left my pen. If anyone found a pen the room please let me know."
I was never so impressed.

We used to have Saturday morning meetings. Not working Saturday to meet a deadline, which I have done independently forever, because I can get more done in 4 hours without being interrupted by stupid questions than I can in a day, but just meetings to talk about our day, how our cases were going, blah blah.
We have one guy who is a kiss ass who does the same as Mahesh. "I am working on a case, a very big case. I have very big boxes on my very big desk" sent out on a Sunday at 9:00 PM.
