As I was eating my 12th mini-Baby Ruth of the day, and thinking about such scintillating subjects as the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act, I got an e-mail from a friend, wanting to know what a particular slang expression meant. I was not equipped with my Super Friends’ Impecunia the Intellectual thinking cap, and therefore had to ask for help. After I got the answer, I sent Cindy, the paralegal who had given it to me, an e-mail. I asked whether, in light of the fact that I had learned something new, I could go home.
She said it would be fine with her. She interposed a new suggestion. In addition to the time-honored maxim, “If you learn something new, you can go home,” she indicated that if my pen ran out of ink, I could also leave work as this was evidence that I was working very hard. This was particularly true, I thought, in light of the fact that handwriting was my worst subject in grade school; and moreover, that I use the computer keyboard the way some people use amphetamines: it helps me think.
