Yeah, my old boss was great at being a lawyer, less so at personnel management. She wanted college students because she didn't have to pay them a living wage, but she didn't want to deal with the fact that we had classes and couldn't suddenly change our schedules at her whim. I was not going to miss my upper-level statistics class and sacrifice my homework time just because she didn't want to hire on someone else. Funny thing though, if she'd've waited a month, she could have had me all summer, but she wasn't expecting me to say no when she demanded I change my work schedule. *shrugs* Then again, this was the same woman who hired on a full-time PR/marketing person, then had her only doing clerical work, then gave said person the offer of "come a few hours a week for the same pay and they aren't set hours" instead of the full-time gig she'd been promised, and was utterly shocked when said person said no. *eyeroll* I think lawyers just aren't used to hearing no from people - my mom's an ex-lawyer and hoo boy is she like that.
