ETA: Oh, I get it now. You're just pissed at being an associate. If you bill loads of hours the partners pay you the same thing anyway, with maybe a token bonus. If you bill shite, you get canned.

Welcome to life.
Oh, I get it now. You like using analogies that don't apply to try to make your point.

I don't have a contract with my firm. I knew this before we started this conversation. Can you post the salary cap information in the lawyer's league you play in?

If a player signs a contract, gets his guaranteed bonus and one year's salary and then injures himself, he gets cut. If he signs a contract that is heavier on the back end because they want to sign another player now and he gives to make room under the salary cap, the team can cut him later on or force him to renegotiate if they don't feel like keeping their end of the deal. If a player signs a best-case-scenario contract and performs exactly the way the team expects and the market changes for players in his position after the first year, his contract is worthless.

If a player signs a long term contract that isn't worth much and far exceeds the team's expectations, he's supposed to honor the contract? That's some bullshit. And the teams screaming and yelling about players honoring their contracts is a steaming pile of bullshit. But it must be magical because you seem to think it tastes great.

Skin balancing candy

Skin balancing gummy bears. Really.

BORBA's Skin Balance Confections contain a revolutionary, cultivated bio-vitamin complex that helps the skin regenerate its natural support system, as they help remove toxins and improve skin clarity.

Acai and green tea extract help strengthen the capillary walls to reduce irritation, and restore the skin's radiant look and feel. Green tea and biogenic vitamin C complex help stimulate the removal of toxins, while keeping pores clear and promoting skin clarity. 100% vegetarian.

If you wondered...

1. Loss of power at a law firm for one hour translates into a 2-3 hour loss of productivity. At least.

2. It is less nice to learn about the latest al Queda tape singling out Los Angeles as a target (which was released yesterday - happy 9/11) while experiencing a random loss of power in the middle of the day throughout large portions of the city.

3. I want to go home now.

That is all. Carry on.

It's like the magic loogie. The magic waiver. Didn't happen.
I admit I'm not up on this. Vacation, man. Spent all my time kayaking.

Bitch, please. Waah, waah, waah. Besides the "Major Indoor Soccer League," a misnomer on so many levels, if there ever was one, it's been a drought of forty-one freaking years without a championship in this town. Zip. Zero. Nada. Not. a. sausage. And this between three major sports. Oh sure, we've been within one freaking out within the last eight years, but as usual DE-nied.

So forgive me if I am less than sympathetic to your plight.

Are you counting Ohio State? Oops. Sorry to bring that up now.

Oh, the other professional team? Nope. I really couldn't care less about them.
