Someone could have a lot of fun with this post . . .

Why? Does it have anything to do with being "festive?"

Okay, if the bed was repaired by the same guy who helped you break it, can I have his number?

(Athletic in bed and handy around the house ? Yum.)

A pro-bono client of mine on a transaction I am no longer able to work on calls to ask me for a date of some document (he should have a copy of) and expresses how pissed off he was at the other side for dragging the closing out well past the agreed-upon date.

I say, "Yeah, you know, some of the things counsel for the other side has tried to pull have crossed the line and basically amount to malpractice, but it looks like you guys are going to get paid, finally."

He says, "Yep. But I just hate what these jew-motherfuckers did to us on this." He was, of course, on speaker.

Disgusting. I paused, not believing what I just heard and he said, "Excuse my French, you may be part Jewish for all I know." I told him it didn't matter whether I was or not, but I didn't think what he said was cool."

He quickly apologized (kinda) and hung up.

People fucking suck.

The partner I was helping on this who is working for free is jewish. Where do you get the fucking nerve? How often does this happen to people on this board? I'd like to know.

You are more than welcome to it.

not mattress, actual bed. I like dark wood. I like both contemporary and traditional, except I am not into frou-frou. I suppose I prefer contemporary or sort of an Asian feel. High footboard is not really my cup of tea.

Let's talk.

I do have this big to-do list at home, but the speed with which you are willing to give the number up makes the notion less appealing.

Last week I was discussing quarterbacks with an older (60+) and very sports-knowledgable female admin. We're discussing Peyton Manning and how good he is, but how terrible of a scrambler he is, and then all of a sudden I get this: "I just don't trust those black QBs. I don't think they're smart enough to play QB." Me: nothing. Complete silence. At least ten seconds of it. And then: "Yeah, that Peyton Manning. He sure is good."

Fortunately, not very often in my experience. I don't know if the demographic of people who can afford the stuff we do tends to weed out those with the more odious worldviews, or if my experience is just a lucky one.

But, agreed. People (at least these people) suck.

I've been in a lot of conversations that would have been a lot different if I had looked more Hispanic.

Do you mean Aristocratic Mexican or Peasant Mexican?

Neither. There is no anti-Hispanic sentiment in Pennsylvania.

Yes, yes, we all know you make tons of money, Chester.

I get a lot of anti-gay emails from one client in particular and anti-immigrant emails from a couple of others. I guess white English speaking immigrants are OK. Unfortunately they are paying clients and I can't afford to lose them. If I get that crap from non-clients they get an earful.

I left my old firm in part* because they were anti-everyone-who-isn't-a-churchgoing-white-guy. It was a really offensive atmosphere. He liked to hire women, because "they work for less." Nice guy.

*Well, that and they escorted me out.
