The Introverted Attorney is an anxious, overly caffeinated, and sleep-deprived lawyer with perpetual eye bags who works among colleagues possessing strangely shaped heads. In spite of this, just like most disillusioned working and breathing professionals, he does not find himself well upon receiving emails that open with, "I hope this message finds you well."
These comics and silly short animations are an attempt to both lighten up and also validate the hopeless feelings that occasionally arise from the soul-sucking nature of the daily grind. Click here for part 1.

In the years that The Introverted Attorney has been running, the content has shifted from static images to short animations that are drawn frame by frame. The characters have been able to convey more nuanced experiences through the use of animation and also the layering of popular audio found on TikTok and Instagram, such as the feeling of bewilderment when you return to your desk after a break of any duration and forget your login password, what you were working on, or maybe even what your role at your company is.

Some colleague of mine don't really get why I try to prepare everything for the meeting beforehand and don't tolerate sideways chit-chat, well, it's because of this! I just don't want to prolong the suffering when there are more meetings awayting further today and no time to recharge between them is horrible

It's also that the other humans usually have distracting ideas of their own, some of which are good and others are bad. And we are going to have to work through all that feedback. So... this really is draining and costs time. If we get the time, the human interaction can even be energizing. But the time...

I feel like this after every trip to Walmart for groceries. There are so many people moving around in the grocery section that I can never stop and look at my list of am item. I feel like it's a series of going in for an item then moving away from that dept and catch my breath. Repeat.

Maybe because we're feeling awkward and embarrassed when we make a mistake, so we punish ourselves as if mentally making sure it won't happen again?
Mandy Delaforce (PC Girl) 2 years ago
Just get yourself a micromanager. They train you to always expect to be wrong, or to have done the wrong things, so you end up totally not worrying about it, just to protect yourself. Then get a good job without the micromanagement and you never actually make a mistake worth worrying about again! My blood pressure went way down....
Always thinking into the future, The Introverted Attorney aspires to eventually mentally project his ideas into other people's brains and is eagerly waiting for technology to advance to the point where that is possible, but will settle for now on creating more animations that capture the relatable and sometimes frivolous work sentiments many of us encounter on a daily basis.

If my Word freezes and looks like it's going to crash I just quickly screenshot it so I still have it.

Working in technical documentation, that's a problem we face almost daily when writing instruction manuals for industrial equipment and machines. Don't mistake me, there are plenty of alternatives. But Word also is a powerful tool when used the right way. The problem is more the customers that force you to reuse and carry on working with documents nearly 20 years old which inevitably leads to even more disaster then just loosing a few paragraphs.

As for unsolicited advice for those that are interested in creating comics or animations — start experimenting with different tools and practicing now! If you look at the Introverted Attorney's first posts, they're essentially chicken scratch on notebook paper. After years of drawing, although the bar is supremely low since the characters are basically upgraded stick figures, the comic has made a lot of improvements based on feedback from readers. In particular, comments that have stood out include identifying Introverted Attorney's boss as "plastic knife head" and his junior colleague as "cheese head", which were unintended but welcomed likenesses based on their peculiar head shapes.

So true! Why can't people just greet and ask whatever the heck they need from me in one sentence? If not, then just write full thing in next sentence and not by two-three words in each message making it a huuuuge list of lines and a constant notifications' bells hell

This could be a chance for me to learn something, because I do that. In my anxious mind, it would be rude to just launch right into what I want/need. So, I start with a friendly greeting, wait to get a hello back, and then I get to the point. AITA?
Lateefa Covington 3 years ago
I have done the same thing for the same reason. It feels rude. I've had people just ask the question without hello or good morning/afternoon at all. But I will adapt by saying hello and asking the question in one message. Also I want the make sure they are free before I type my question/request.

YES PLEASE! Say Hi and what you want in the same message or it'll be ignored forever
Remi 3 years ago
But can you really ignore them though? If the question is work-related, I don't think so. But I am thinkinh on starting to answer them with just a question mark and when they explain, then I can greet and answer. Might work I think

Maple Porkly 3 years ago
All of my co-workers do this and it drives me crazy. I on the other hand ask with the "hi". If it's a bigger ask I'll say hi and ask how much time they can spare followed immediately with the ask in a second ping (which I pre-typed so I can copy/paste it and they aren't panicking about what I want). Office 101
One of the Introverted Attorney's favorite comics to date is "Firefighter", where Introverted Attorney is horrified by all of the fires around him that he is responsible for putting out with a puny spray bottle, some of which seem to have been intentionally set by his colleagues or clients. This encapsulates the average day of a lawyer and, no doubt, many other professions in one panel — that is, being pulled in a million directions by "urgent" demands but not having the resources to address them all.

Besides creating comics/animations, The Introverted Attorney enjoys loudly declaring his opinions to the television as fictional characters or reality TV personalities proceed to do the exact opposite behavior as advised and also excitedly greeting his neighbors' dogs as though they are his own.

"Learning opportunity" as in "this project is bound to fail - opportunity"?
Maple Porkly 3 years ago
In my office this exact sequence means someone is slacking off and rather than have them own it, they pass it to highly efficient and normally overworked staff. If I see this coming I keep my head down and cut them off mid sequence with "sorry, I'm too busy to chat, something on my computer isn't working right" and promptly ignore them. If they stand there I'll pull out my fake rant about technology fails. Normally makes them uncomfortable enough to leave or join in on the rant and forget what they wanted to give me.

I used to have all kinds of c**p on my comp desktop. Then I started splitting time between home and the office. A fantastic feature of Windows is that when you get all your icons just where you want them and, more importantly, remember where they are...not a single f*****g thing lines up the same when you take your computer and connect it to different monitors. I got tired of fighting it and have pared my desktop down to two primary folders that are now just as crammed full of stuff as my desktop used to be.

Aren’t we all guilty of these ‘filler lines’? Sometimes I decide to avoid writing these pointless intro lines in my e-mails… then I stare at the blank e-mail draft ‘Dear x,….’… and then I loose patience ant type ‘I hope you’re well’ to be able to finish my draft.

Ohhh Man. I barely got any Thanksgiving Leftovers this year. I LIVE off those for almost a week.....Getting old. I brought a bunch of cheese I like (Shout out to Aldi's in the USA...love you German Cheaper Grocery Store)...and had to leave them for the younger people after the meal.....I miss my Night Cheese....But such is life...you get older....but your Job in the US of A doesn't let you grow to having more support. So the little things unfortunately become bigger....Man....I wish I lived in the EU. Not even counting Insulin Costs...
