JW drafts discovery responses! Yay!

Plaintiff serves discovery questions to be answered) on defendant client.

JW drafts discovery responses to these questions.

JW's bosses edit and make comments, tell JW to conform responses to client's new "model" responses (which JW was not told about, even though he is responsible for 6 cases for this client).

JW revises responses to conform to new "model" responses, which were put together by JW's co-worker, who also happened to be one of the "class a$$holes" in JW's law school class, and who provoked much laughter, especially from JW, for his assenine class participation. (In fact, co-worker was infamous for his "that could lead to a slippery slope" argument which was made at least once per class, per day. Co-worker's first response, upon seeing JW at office after JW got job at firm, was not "Hey, long time no see!" - it was "what are YOU doing here?!" Apparently co-worker was under mistaken impression that he had a monopoly on job positions at this firm. But JW digresses...)

Client says, "Why did you do that? It should be this way (telling JW to revise back to the way JW originally drafted).

Bosses say, "Why did you do that? I think client meant blah blah model blah blah responses... you shouldn't make those changes, leave them be."

JW says, "No, client really meant blah blah blah..."

Jw needs to file these responses in 20 minutes.

JW still waiting for clarification. (BTW, the answer to these responses was basically "We ain't got none." This has been ervised upwards of half a dozen times so far...)
