I like to know when I'm doing wrong, but here's what pissed me off. back story: in-house counsel had suggested some revisions to the facilitation brief, which included some deposition pages. once I read that, I went ahead and pulled the pages exactly as he stated. ok?. so...

the last thing he says is "and I want to give you a little tip...and I don't expect you to read my mind, but I do expect you to read. if you had read the entire page, you'd have noticed that the page ends with a question. the answer is very important and we should include that page. I don't expect you to know what a lawyer knows or make decisions that only a lawyer can, but always include the next page if the first page ends in a question so that we can see the answer."

w.t.f. first off, I actually did do that on a couple of the other pages in-house counsel wanted to include because the quote from the deposition was near the bottom of the page. I didn't do it here because the point they were using was the first 2 lines of the ****ing page and the bottom had nothing to do with it. now, I see his point, don't get me wrong, but jesus. and the smirk on his face. it was like, ha ha, you ****ed up. and the whole thing about not making decisions a lawyer should make? sit and spin you bastard. what a ****ty ass comment to make. I swear, I hate lawyers. I do. I have never seen a career turn people into such assholes and to treat those they work with with such little respect. may be similar to doctors and nurses. the only difference is anyone can be a lawyer honey. don't get it twisted. for every crack whore, there's two lawyers. and half the time, the crack whores are lawyers. believe me, I know.

in the words of Barbra...

gotta move
gotta get out
gotta leave this place
gotta find some place
some big new place
some brand new place

What a total asshole. It's jags like that who give all lawyers a bad rep. I hate it when people are so self-righteous. I'm a lawyer and I honestly treat my staff with respect. I mean Jesus, I couldn't do my job without them. And I don't expect anyone else to know how I want something done. I totally appreciate my paralegal and everything she does for me. And you are right, anyone can be a lawyer. You don't have to be that smart. Trust me, I've worked with countless dumbass lawyers. If you can act pretty well and are good at feeding someone a line of bull**** and acting like you are the ****, you can be a lawyer without having much brains. I, myself, don't like all of the theatrics, hence, I'm not a trial lawyer. I practice worker's comp defense and my client are insurance companies and employers. It is about the most laid back work you can do as a lawyer, which is why I'm still doing this. I was ready to give it up a few years ago until I got this job. I think I worked with your boss at my old firm. Yeah, not really but someone just like him. I was new out of school and he used to give me all his **** work. Which I understand and expect being just out of school. But when I asked him questions or for advice, he would tell me, "Well, I had to figure it out myself, so figure it out". And then when I did what I thought was right and was telling him how I was going to handle an upcoming hearing, he looked at my like I was the dumbest fukcing person to walk the earth, laughed and said that I was going to lose - in front of all the other lawyers at the firm. Nice.

"make decisions that only a lawyer knows" ... that BS is a huge pet peeve of mine. people think they're so smart/interesting/invaluable, and get so self-congratulatory when they think they know something you don't. ****ing bastards.

on another note, i'm also annoyed that this dude i work with had to go to drug/alcohol counseling yesterday at 4:30, and at 6 when i was walking my dog downtown, he was drinking at one of the bars downtown.

Nice. Why bother going to rehab? Oh, probably so he could get out of work early and still make it to the bar for happy hour.

Jazz - what a d*ck.

Carrie - only 8 more days to go!

Me? I'm annoyed because I was going to run errands on my lunch hour & it's pouring rain. Also because it's supposed to be really cold this weekend.
