The other day, I was doing what every overpaid corporate lawyer who bills out at about $300/hour should be doing. I was making copies. As I was waiting for my job to finish, a partner (who happens to be the administrative head of the dept--I'm not quite sure what that means, other than he can get me fired) who is usually pretty soft spoken and quite reserved tapped me on the shoulder and exclaimed:
Partner: [EVIL TWIN #2]!!
Me: Umm. . . hi, [partner].
Partner: So, I accidentally invaded your privacy yesterday.
Me: Say what?? I mean, what do you mean? (I am very eloquent when surprised)
Partner: When I logged into i-tunes this morning I had about 900 songs available that I've never seen before.
Me: Oh? Really?
Partner: There was some really good stuff on there, so I just kept listening.
Me: Uh-huh.
Partner: And then it cut me off.
Me: Yeah?
Partner: And then when I logged on today, there it was. And it was called [ETwin#2].
Me: What?? So you had access to my library? (as I wondered what else he had access to)
Partner: I guess so. Anyway, can I get a copy of your playlist?
Me: Sure.
Partner: It probably cut me off when you logged off. Now I know when you are here and when you aren't. . .
Me: nervous laughter
The lesson learned from this? Figure out how to turn off the file sharing function on i-tunes and don't download stuff onto the shared drive at work. Anyway, I have not logged out of my computer since this conversation. So, this means that I am "always at work" like every good young associate should be!

you left out the most important part of the story...about me. and how my mixes is goign to get you on the good side of a partner you won't have to see in a few months......oh
Evil Twin #1 is right, I left out the part where the partner said he liked the music that Evil Twin #1 picked out (he singled out a "mellow mix" that ET#1 had made for me). This once again proves that ET#1 has the musical taste of a middle-aged man. Mainly because she likes all the same music that my dad likes...
You know how to view who connects to your library? It's really easy and theres a way also to block anybody from connecting to your library...
I think I figured out how to disable the library sharing. How do you view who connects to your library? Do tell!
This reminds me of when my director saw me running near Jamaica Pond once; I was taken aback when he told me, but then also slightly proud (he's a pulmonologist, so working your lungs is good!). It makes you remember to keep any incriminating evidence/behavior locked behind doors since you don't know who might be watching (ie, it's never okay to leave the house in sweats or any bad outfit, even just to go to the corner store, because ANYONE could be looking!)
