Ok, so i'm in the firm's kitchen cutting up some tomatoes for a light snack when I hear my name getting paged. I race back to my office and call the operator. She says I have Sally Sue from Joe Smith's office on the line for you. I have no idea who sally or Joe are, but I say "put her through". She proceeds to tell me she's sally from Joe's office and asks me for two email addresses, one for a person in my group and one for bob smith, who i don't know. I ask her to refresh my recollection who Joe Smith is. She says "Joe Smith from Dewey Cheatum and How" and I ask her why this is relevant to me. Nothing is ringing any bells for me. She then says that the names she needs email addresses for she got from an email chain that was originated by me (a document sent out for ABC client to like 20 people, most of whom I've never dealt with, but was told to put on the distro list). This document was forwarded to Joe Smith and he'd like to send an email to these people. I ask her how she related to ABC client's document. She finally says "Jow Smith is representing XYZ, the other party to the agreement" (which I have dealt with directly to date and had no idea they were using outside counsel). I give her the email address for the person I work with, but tell her I have no recollection of the other person, whom she then reports to me WORKS FOR HER BOSS'S CLIENT, XYZ. Tell me, would you EVER have opposing counsel paged to get email addresses from a person who sent out the agreement over a month ago., let alone addresses for your own client? And why on earth she thought I would know who Joe Smith is, is beyond me. It wasn't like she said she was calling from JOhnny Cockrane's office or anything.

End of Rant.
