Kitty has a whole list of things to do today and doubts she can get it all done. She hates the way there are always things left to do at the end of the day. It just seems that no matter how hard she works, something new comes up that she cannot complete. One of her clients, Isabel, has told her on the phone that she wants to sign a release of information form for her lawyer. Kitty has the form ready for the time when Isabel will be coming in at the end of the week. Today a man calls and says he is Isabel’s lawyer and he needs just two dates to help him file a brief with the court on the Isabel’s behalf. Kitty gives him the two dates and hurries to the next thing on her list.
