I also forgot to mention that last week Friday was Megan's birthday. We partied it up last week!!
So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY (way late) to Megan!!!!
So, I was turning on Pandora (for the first time since I got my computer back so the speaker's were up really loud) and Brittney Spears's song came on Megan said "Dance party at the office." So, MJ was in the back getting some files and he comes running out dancing with all of the files in his hands.
Oh man, it was GREAT!!!

This happened last week...
So last week, MJ said the following:
A client called and said that he had to step out for coffee when MJ called, and MJ's response was "Well I have to step out and take a crap but..."
He thought we should call the virus on my computer "The sneaky bastard."
Also, he wrote a letter to another attorney that said the follow: "This isn't my first rodeo. I don't appreciate your hollow threats and silly ripostes. You are your client are not simon pure here and should not be casting such stones."
Another attorney wrote back to MJ regarding a few changes he would like to see made to the MSA, which included that his client get the handcuffs!
Then our IT guy was here fixing my computer and he was under my desk hooking something up, and he holds up this thing and says "What is this?" He said it so seriously. I said "That's my foot pedal." Anyways, it really was my foot pedal for dictating tapes for MJ.

Sticky Notes
MJ LOVES sticky notes. Like uses probably 30 of them a day!! So, today on my desk was his little tootsie roll container (that I gave him) filled with his change and a sticky note attached to it that read:
"Please go to bank at lunch and get me folding money for this." HAHAHAHAHAHA
Folding money, who says that? It's dollars, stilly!!
(It would have been better if I could have got the sticky to upload, then you could have seen the sticky he left on my desk.)

Worth It
So, yesterday MJ said to me, "Jessica, in case I don't tell you enough I really appreciate you."
Yup, that is why I tell everyone when they ask me if I like driving all the way to Madison for my job, that it is worth it. It is worth going to a job when you know you are appreciated and when your boss can make you laugh so hard you think you are going to pee your pants. But at the same time I also learned, I am screwed! How am I ever going to work for someone else after having worked for MJ? Just like last year when I went to my first badger game and we sat in the box (the same box as Coach Bo Ryan). Well from here on out any game I go to can only get worse because my first experience was so great. It is kind of like that. Until that day happens I will just appreciate the fact that I am appreciated.

Sunday Happening
From Tuesday
The Week In Review
This last week went a little something like this:
Monday: Did not work, still in California!
Tuesday: Got to work, did not have a computer. Got my computer back around 3:00 p.m. (I leave at 4:30)
Wednesday: Fought to get my computer to stay working all day. I am sure something funny happened!
Thursday: No computer after 11:00 for the rest of the day. (At this point I am going to FREAK out if I don't get my computer back)
MJ sends an e-mail to another attorney that says "I spoke with my client. He does not agree. Thank you for asking, again!" I am not sure the other attorney is laughing at MJ's sense of humor!
Friday: Finally have my computer back. Finally get to get something done. But most of the day, I spend laughing at the ridiculous things MJ said!
Saturday: Wedding reception. Got home late and definitely feeling "happy."
Sunday: MJ's 60th birthday celebration. Which I really hope he was surprised by! It was great to see his family and close friends get together to celebrate such a wonderful person! I don't want to get to sentimental because this blog is suppose to be FUNNY, but MJ truly is the best boss I have ever had and will ever have. But then again, I am not sure I really think of him as my boss. It was SO hard to keep the surprise a secret from him. We are always talking about EVERYTHING! But, I did it! I did not spill the beans (unless he looked at my computer, but I don't see him doing that!) On that note, Happy Birthday to the nicest, kind, caring, considerate, wonderful boss I have ever known! (and I am not saying that to suck up because I already know I am damn good at my job and don't need to suck up).
Happy birthday MJ!

The Happenings This Week
This week was CRAZY busy at the office. Surprise, surprise lately. But it went a little something like this.
Monday- we had the day off! :)
Tuesday- crazy busy! work, work, work. MJ was crabby, blah, blah blah.
Then Wednesday happened.
We were people watching (I love to people watch). And we saw the same family who let the little boys pee on the tree outside of our office. And I said "It just ticks me off." And MJ says "What her tits are real?" Yup, it might be time for a hearing aide for that man!
Then MJ had to go to Court in Portage. Megan was over by me and I was on the phone with a client. Then Megan screamed "There is a F***ing mouse in our office." Except she did not bleep it out. I never jumped so fast on top of my desk so fast in my life. Yup, that is right. There was a little itty bitty baby mouse crawling around our office and MJ was not there to save us from this little mouse (which was REALLY huge to us). So we had to get someone from up stairs to come and try to catch the mouse. Then Megan went and got some traps. Needless to say, we still have NOT caught the mouse!
Thursday: Busy, again! Great! I was there half of the day by myself. (which I love because I can actually get something done!) But in the few times I got to see MJ today. He made me laugh so hard I cried. That is one of the greatest things working for MJC, he is so darn funny! Well sometimes he is funny, other times we don't have the same sense of humor. But today, he was actually funny. Like when he was imitating President Obama. MJ also has a BAD habit of buying TOO many pens and highlighters, and also going to The Dollar Store. Yup, that's right, MJ is addicted to the Dollar Store!!! So he told me to go get something out of his car and then to get the bags out of his car. You guessed it, while he was in Portage today he had to go to the Dollar Store and get more pens, fall decorations for the office and the LARGEST magnifying glass I have ever seen in my life. Then he would hold it up to his eye and say "Does this make my eye look huge." Man he's funny! And last but not least. We were talking about me finally leaving the office and my trip to California. And then of course, MJ started to sing "Leaving on a jet plane, don't know when you will be back again." But I said I do know when I will be back again. And MJ said "Unless your plane crashes." Who says that? Well good thing by now I know he was just kidding with me! And then we were talking more about it. And then he said that would be bad if your plane crashed, you would not be able to get your last pay check. That is what he is worried about if I died. Not that he would miss me or anything, just that I would not get my last pay check. He is so considerate!
Anyways, that is what happened this week. And now I am off to California to celebrate the marraige of one of my very best friends in the whole entire world.
Until next time,
Chow!

Funnies of Today
So, today, I cried, TWICE. Yup, that's right, I was laughing so hard I was crying twice today at work.
This is why.
Megan and I went to get coffee this morning and when we got back we were just sitting down to drink our coffee and MJ was on the phone with one of clients, who is 84 years old. As Megan and I are drinking the coffee we just got, MJ finishes his conversation with "Well, Shake It Hard."
I almost fell off my chair. I couldn't talk. When MJ asked why were were laughing, I couldn't answer for a good 2 minutes. The tears were rolling off mine and Megan's cheeks. We finally got to him what was so funny and he said "Do you want to hear the context of the conversation." No, not really did I want to know why you just told this 84 year old man to shake it hard! Well, anyways, the old man said, well I am off to work and to shake that bush, and that is when MJ told him to shake it hard!
Then this happened. MJ and his family were going to the Badger game today and in case you don't know MJ that well, he would say "Look for me on TV, I will be wearing red." And then he laughs every time he says it! So, of course I have heard that line like 5 times this week already. So, when he got back from Court today he changed into blue shorts and a red polo (not a badger shirt, but a polo).
Then his son Aaron came over to meet him at the office to go to the game together, and in case you didn't guess it, he was wearing a red polo (still his dress pants) but he did have khaki shorts to change in to. Yup, that's right Aaron (who is 30) and his dad (who is going to be 60) were wearing the same outfit to the game tonight. So of course I am laughing so hard I can't talk. Of course, Aaron is mortified and says "Yup, I have to buy a t-shirt, let's go to State Street so I can get my new t-shirt." But in the mean time Aaron is going to try to cover up the fact that he is wearing the same things his dad is and puts on MJ's suit coat (which is probably 2 if not 3 sizes to big for Aaron) and then pops the collar and covers up every inch of red that could possibly be showing and says he is ready to go. Mind you it is like 90+ degrees outside. And at this point I can't even tell Aaron that he cannot leave the building looking like that, and Megan says "You look like a Confederate soldier." Then I lost it. I was laughing so hard there was no way, I could even talk if I tried, and then I snorted.
Yup, that is how my day went!!
