Cheryl Kreiner, the expert legal assistant in my office responsible for the often mechanical tasks of clearing rights, warns that it can frequently take a long time just to find the right person to ask, much less pose the correct question.
"Make sure you have enough time to get the license; you can't make this happen overnight, in a week or a month," Kreiner says. "Too many people are involved, i.e., the songwriter(s), the artist, the record label, etc. Someone could be on vacation, on tour, or the responsibility for issuing the license could be delegated to someone new who doesn't know about you or your request. Keep in constant contact with everyone from whom you requested a license. And last, but not least, always keep your clients continuously informed regarding your progress" (or the lack of it, because of the very real possibility that when so many parties are involved, something will inevitably go askew).

Wisconsin legal assistant Clarissa Ramos has also worked for eight years inside of a root beer barrel, and not just any barrel, but the “stinky one” next to the porta-potties. Yes, you read that right.
"This is a fun, low-stress job," says Ramos. "And you can drink all the free soda you want." (OnMilwaukee.com)
Finally, the illusive Nancy W. Kappes (Paralegal) not only made a recent Heeb’s “Comment Superlatives from across the Web” but she said something that I can actually quote in its entirety. Plus, I can entirely relate to her feelings about recent media rumblings that the FDA is thinking about restricting acetaminophen usage.
The Greatest Don’t Touch My Drugs Comment comes from Nancy W. Kappes, Paralegal on The Bloggess
"ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! AAAAUUUGGGGHHH! THEY WILL HAVE TO PRY MY VICODIN AND PERCOCET OUT OF MY COLD, DEAD HANDS! NO! ACTUALLY, THEY’LL HAVE TO SAW OFF MY HANDS! WHOA! WAIT! MWHAA! WHEN I SEE THEM COMING, I AM GOING TO GOBBLE THEM ALL UP." (Heeb)
