The deal is done. The case is tried. It's over—now you can go home and rest. Tomorrow, you'll clean up this mess. Repeat. Soon, though, colleagues begin to comment about the federal disaster area your office has become. Next, you only take clients to the clean conference rooms. Ultimately, you retreat to empty offices to get your own work done. Or maybe your office is tidy and well kept. Maybe you don't hear disparaging remarks. Yet you do still have a number of client projects in various stages of completion.
