I think I posted this story many-a-board ago, but it still makes me cringe with embarrassment for the guy.

So there's this associate (at Cravath, NTTAWWT) who has theater tickets or some such thing for one evening, and he has to leave by a certain time. It's getting to be 6:00 in the evening, so work is rolling in, and he hears the partner to whom he is indentured coming down the hall. What to do?!?

Well, his answer to that conundrum was to hide in his coat closet (and for those of you who have been to Cravath's [new -- as in now they're 12 years old] offices, you'll know that the coat closets are those "built-in" kinds -- the kind that really just fits a coat and some minor personal effects -- not the walk-in kind.]

So, partner comes into this schlub's office, and sees him away from his post, and wonders whether he's gone for the evening -- so, naturally, decides to check his coat closet to see if he's gone.


[Seriously, I'm cringing now...]
