After *cough*-teen years of doing this job, I've learned of a few sure-fire signs of a bad day to come...
1. Your attorney e-filed something the night before without assistance.
2. You show up early, but people are already staking out your desk needing "a favor".
3. There's nothing on the calendar. (Trust me on this one. Those are the worst.)
4. It's your last day before a week off.
5. It's the last day before a long weekend.
6. An attorney walks into your office and starts the conversation with the phrase "Good news!"
7. You just got your desk cleaned off yesterday.

Hehe, don't fall for the "Good News!" ploy, peeps :P
Attorney smiles viciously as you walk in and are standing at your desk before you've even got your coat off, and open the conversation with "You're not busy today, right?"
#3, #4 & #7 are your warnings that the perfect storm is about to blow through.
Boy did you sum that up! I like the one where my boss hands me a file as I walk into the office. That is a BAD sign...
