We’re here today with a very important public service announcement for all of the incredibly ambitious paralegal souls working within the legal sector. We are about to show you a sanity-saving maneuver that could one day save your life. It’s that serious.
To set the scene – imagine it is 5:29 p.m. during a typical work day in the office for the paralegal featured in the video below.
Is that an attorney’s footsteps she hears?
Watch this short, 6 second video:
Got that? Stop, listen, and drop it low, paralegals. Stilettos and all.
THEN RUN!!!
If you feel method one shown above is a bit too dramatic, well, feel free to scale it down a notch and utilize the equally effective maneuver set forth in video number two below.
Video number two:
You got that one? It’s stop, slither, slide, and land.
I am laughing hysterically over here.
How about you? (Don’t answer that). Just try to contain yourself. Seriously, pull it together.
Did you already watch the videos more than once? We did, too. Feel free to play them at your leisure, perhaps daily, to serve as a reminder of what to do in the event you ever find yourself in a critical situation like this in the future. It could save your sanity. And your life.
If you enjoyed today’s public service announcement – please share it. Widely. Proudly. In honor of the 5:30 fallen.
Let’s chalk this one up to a lunch break well-spent among colleagues, people.

A similar trick might be to do as George Constanza did on Seinfeld. Bring in a woodworker to build a pullout bed under his desk. That way he could nap or hide as needed.
Too funny, Bob. Although I have a feeling most of us are probably looking for an escape plan over a nap! ha ha.
That was truly the funniest thing I have seen in a while. My office mate and I were in stitches.
[Insert Jamie and her coworker taking a bow here]
We’re happy to hear you enjoyed it, Jodi. (That makes my trepidation over posting a silly public video all worth it. Yes, indeed.)
That was perfect for a Friday afternoon laugh..shared it with the secretarial staff
Oh my goodness! I LOVE it! I laughed soo hard at both of them 🙂
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, Rachel. Much appreciated.

Too funny AND crazy! I have now shared on my blog too.
Crazy? Me? Never.
(Okay, that clearly is no longer true, with the chief case in point featured in video number one directly above).
Loved your related blog post, Amy! Great minds do think alike.
Gotta have a vanity panel for FULL effectiveness! I imagine the red & white stockinged feet of the Wicked Witch of the East protuding from under the desk in full view of said “esquire.” That would be very no bueno…. 🙂
Too funny, Angela. (We need to add that to the supply list.)
Have a video to share of your own? Be sure to safeguard all personal/confidential/proprietary information prior to filming, and send it our way at: theparalegalsociety@gmail.com. If we like your submission, we may share it in a future public service announcement. We’re pretty darn sure we’re onto something great.
Not brave enough to do your own video? We’re also open to hearing your creative ideas. Send ’em our way.
I am now reading this article and viewed the two videos – HILARLOUS! I am literally laughing at the moment and it is not even lunchtime yet!
Reblogged this on LSC – Legal Career Center.
These videos are spot on! Thanks for posting them. LMAO!
Add to 5:30 “Friday” and that’s my life. *sigh*
Too funny girl, just when I needed to laugh
Bwahahahaha I am trying not to laugh too hard at my front desk right now!
Wow, I should try this instead of an exorcism of my office. Seems to attract those things called…oh yes attorney’s
That explains the glass walls and doors paralegals now have at our firm 🙂 Too funny!
That was funny—NOT!!!
