Twas two days before Christmas and all through One Legal, we eyed the fruitcake in the lunch room hoping it might not be lethal.
Our servers were out delivering their unwelcome papers, to the innocent and not-so-much caught up in attorney-driven capers.
The branches were buzzing assembling last-minute filings, while director Steve Vann entertained them with his cool vocal stylings.
The phones in Customer Support kept a steady ring-ringing, like holiday cash registers at Wal-Mart with their persistent cha-chinging.
Our researchers were huddled deep inside the courts' basements, searching for documents with care even when clerks knew not of their placements.
Our runners at court spreading courtesy copies with cheer, hoped their papers would be welcome in judges' chambers austere.
At SF Superior, they worked through the night to remove their boxes for dropping, so filers would queue up in a line, one angry and whopping.
In Sacto, the lottery determined an urgent filer's likely fate, pick a token, pick a winner, or your filing just might be late.
Our trainers were out there showing the benefits of eFiling, even with paper-loving filers greeting them with faces unsmiling.
To our friends at Docket, LSI, CAPA and the ALA associations, we look forward to another year of fun and camaraderie with your welcoming delegations.
As Santa loads his sled and readies for a night of deer flying, we're thankful we're the ones that you keep on relying.
So whatever holiday you celebrate be it Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, we wish you the best, a warm time with family and friends...a downright celebratory extravaganza.
