Watching The Escape Artist again, just cos.
I was joking with a fellow lawyer today that it requires a certain amount of suspension of disbelief. Like when they suggest that working late is a remarkable enough to comment on. Or like when they suggest that sleeping overnight in the office is something unusual. *g*
Another fun thing that I picked up - I sort of doubt that any one who has to record time ever loses track of it. Not badly, anyway. At the very minimum, I should think that all billing timekeepers can probably tell you the time to the closest fifteen minute block without looking at a clock (also, there is never not a clock in some highly visible place in a lawyer's office, even if most of us use the digital one on the phone).
(But then again, I never know how much of it is me - my time sense is so absurdly overdeveloped that I can wake up in the middle of the night and tell you what time it is, at least to the hour.)
