I'm just whipping my over-edudumachated, lazy student partner of mine to finish off their law degree quicker so they can go lawyering, I won't have to work so hard and can retire to a bed of rose petals, cocktails and footrubs on demand.

(I'm not holding my breath)

That f*cker also always knows when you're lying about not coming in due to illness, family deaths, and car accidents too. But, on the upside, he does allow drinking on the job

That and you can smoke at your desk without some OH&S idiot look at you like you've set the building on fire, crank up nasty music to the point it'll send people tone deaf and have the TV next to the computer... oh and getting straight out of bed, no makeup or doing your hair and working in PJ's all day =

Fuck yeah to all of that, except I don't watch TV (advertising makes me want to punch things), and I don't wear makeup. And I shave my head, so that doesn't really apply either :/

But I certainly AM introducing my fuckwit neighbor to the finer points of sleep deprivation, along with a bit of 'Do you prefer Drum'n'Bass or Breakbeat at 7AM'

at my job there's wine bottles in the fridge and also packs of beer around the break room

but I've never seen anyone drink any of it but it always dissapears over time
I think they drink when they work late hours when I am gone

You should push the envelope jdat. Try grabbing a glass of wine at, say...midday. If it doesn't phase them, have a beer immediately afterwards.

Make a game out of it. See what you can get away with before you get told off

honestly I doubt it would cause any trouble

I am living in France after all where we have two hour long lunch breaks and where drinking a glass of wine a day is the strict minimun

I don't know what I'm going to do with my neighbours.

i'm a legal assistant now and it's good as far as salary and benefits goes for someone in their 20's without a degree yet, but i don't want it as a career. law school for me in the next 4 years lol. taking my sweet ass time but better late than never.


and while i'm on the topic of my job, i just want to say that both of my bosses are quite possibly the most pathetic, miserable phonies i've ever met. and i notice it's a pattern with attorneys who do any sort of PI or insurance defense work. it fucking sucks!! it's the worst kind of law to get into, i wouldn't practice PI work if someone put a gun to my head. i need to find a new job where the work is at least interesting and the clients have an IQ over 10.

lol at this you are dead on. If I were to be a lawyer I would definately get into corporate law. That is where the money is at and you don't have to be quite as sleezy as lawyers dealing with criminal defense or PI cases.


Posted by Slylee on May-01-2007 15:09:

yea they are literally crooks, and so are all of the doctors we deal with. if a final report on our client doesn't have a big enough impairment rating, my boss gets on the phone with them and gets them to change the report (for more $). it's fucking sickening. i have zero respect for PI/Ins. defense doctors/surgeons. they're whores.

im a high end developer. Not one of the coding monkeys


Posted by Slylee on May-01-2007 15:30:

Oh and don�t get me wrong, my bosses definitely have their cool moments. They hook me up with little bonuses here and there when I get a bunch of demands out or bust my ass, and one of them has really wacky humor and we share a few laughs here and there, but I still have like no respect for them.

One of them is a total anal retentive bastard with napolian complex, so he gets real sarcastic and moody and we have big fights because I don�t put up with his shit. I slammed the phone down on him one time and he told me to leave, so I did, and about 30 minutes later, he called me to apologize and asked me to come back, bla bla bla. lol drama! It�s been pretty calm though lately and we sort of worked out our differences, but I still can�t stand him and I want to work at a bigger firm that does real estate law or corp. litigation...way more interesting.

Oh and my boss just complimented me on getting out 10 demands in 3 days. I smell a bonus!! Or at least I hope. Cross your fingers

No no I'm kidding.



I handle Home Depots financial accounts in Toronto and a few in the States. My desk was piled with work this week because it was final tax week so I had to have a bunch of papers filed. Thank God tax season is over. Now it;s back to just regular hecticness lol
