Quote of the Year

Seriously? I sat there, dumbfounded, wondering if I had heard him correctly. Looking around the room it was clear no one else was having the same reaction as me. By the third time he said it, I was quite confident I had not misunderstood him. And so, for your edification and amusement, is the quote of the month:

"When you turn in your individual 2009 practice plan, make sure you include at least 1 or 2 of your failures from 2008 for consideration."

Just 1 or 2, not all of them. As if to say, there are so many I won't be picky about which one you give me. Nice, huh? This is from my practice group chair. And guess what? He's also the chair of our firm's mentoring committee. Oh yeah, we got a good one ladies and gentlemen. Jealous? Right in time for year-end evaluations, too. Somebody please shoot me to take me of my misery if I am stuck in this place next year at this time.
