So would the idea be that Mary Jo helps out with discovery, etc. and
Bethany keeps on with answering phones and other secretarial duties?
It might be cheaper to get Bethany up to speed as a paralegal and have
someone really cheap answer the phones.  Or, if Mary Jo can pretty
much function as a cheaper associate than Steve or Stephanie, then
maybe that makes more sense than hiring someone until I'm back in the
office doing consults and bringing on more clients.

I emailed a few references yesterday, but wasn't able to talk to
anyone.  I somehow ended up settling two cases yesterday!  Crazy!

Also, need to talk to computer guy.  I need to be able to enter time
while I'm home.  Also having probs where my messages from iphone are
all coming from my personal gmail instead of work account.
