Date: September 1st, 2010 8:11 PM Author: bistre sick garrison Didnt I tell you most lawyers are assholes like me IRL? Did you really expect kind words and hand holding? Be thankful we're at all civilized in the office. Before you had to treat chicks like people it was way worse.

Date: September 1st, 2010 8:28 PM Author: At-the-ready tantric meetinghouse toaster Sure, steve. It is admirable that you consider yourself to be an "asshole" and certainly the problem is that "weak people" need "handholding" and 'kind words".
The issue is not, of course, the idea that lawyers think it's admirable to display a basic lack of decency. In reality, only insecure, angry, petty failures feel the need to behave like this.
The profession is shit because of toileteers like you who feel they have to act a certain way. But since you are a low rent jew who probably never knew lawyers growing up (I mean real lawyers not your uncle moshe the slip and fall lawyer), I suppose we should forgive you.

Date: September 1st, 2010 9:21 PM Author: nighttime national rigpig Fuck it Man. I dealt with that shit by knowing how to relax and not take people as seriously as they took themselves. In fact when I lost my job I started dancing (literally) and most people said they hadn't seen me that happy in a long time. Life is a fucking dice roll, bro. Fuck it.

Date: September 1st, 2010 9:31 PM Author: nighttime national rigpig I believe the words the hiring/firing partners used were "HITS we're terminating you." They did it at a Starbucks so I wouldn't "flip out." I reacted by dancing.
Heard through the grapevine that it sort of killed one of the Partners who considered me to be her "project" or something. I made them a lot of money. I did okay for myself. I harbor no animosity. Life's too short for that bullshit. I try to smoke two joints in the morning (not literally because I prefer bongs), talk to at least 2 random hot women, and take life pretty laid back.
I had no idea there would be an ITE period, but fuck it. Maybe it will turn, maybe it won't, but life's too short to worry about hypo future shit. *shrugs* just me though. |
