So, I'm assembling a frame today for my bar certificate, and my secretary comes by and says, "I bet you're really good at art." Hahahahahaha. I informed her that while I am perfectly handy, I was the kid who got a "B" in elementary school art, which loosely translates into "artistically retarded." Every kid in elementary school gets an "A," except for those who are upstaged in their artistic expression by schizophrenic cats, i.e. me.
Oh well, artistic expression aside, I have now assembled a lovely little wall 'o Snarky at my office. Now, my colleagues can come into my office and be assaulted by my various accomplishments, beaming down at them from behind my chair like a ray of light from heaven (or, perhaps, the fading, sputtery fluorescent beam of one who longs for the golden days of law school). Now, I just have to decide whether to put up my high school accomplishment awards for perfect attendance. Thoughts?

Beware of high school awards, as they tend to scream "LOSER!"... unless, of course, it's a Siemens High School Science award. (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6577633)
Aww, c'mon now. A little Order of the Coif here, a little perfect attendance, there, a wee bit of poetry contest award for good measure...I don't want to be pigeon-holed as just a sweater-vest litigator, you know...
I think the perfect attendance award would be awesome. I was thinking maybe 3rd grade honor roll or "student of the month" would also be appropriate.
I do think you should display your perfect attendance awards. As a child who missed so much school one year that I was nearly held back, I am envious of your dedication.
