Here's the conversation of the day from the Daley Center. I was with Clerk 1 and we were overhearing a conversation some lawyer was having with Clerk 2.
Lawyer: I need to take a look at a pleading I filed this morning.
Clerk 2: How do you think I'm going to do that? And, why do you need it?
Lawyer: I need to remove a letter I accidentally attached as an exhibit. Can't you just find it?
Clerk 2: Have you looked around? How am I supposed to 'just find it'? Also, you know you can't just take away an exhibit after you file a pleading, right?
Lawyer: But...it REALLY can't be in there. Are you sure you can't find it and just let me take it off?
Clerk 1: Oh, lord. Is he for real?
Me: Seems to be.
Clerk 1: How can you be a lawyer and be this slow? Don't you all need to take a test or something?
Me: Yeah...I've got nothing.
The real question is, how can he have a job while I don't? Seriously, how is that possible?
Most not surprising thing ever.

Um, it's not a meritocracy.
