Stop whining about it. Accept who you are and enjoy it, or go be something else. If you hate being a lawyer, or hate yourself because you're a lawyer, then do something else -- it's not that hard to save enough cash that you can quit and move on. Stop telling everyone else how they should live or raise their children, and put that energy into your own life.
Lawyers who bitch about being lawyers drive me up a fucking tree.

Dude, I didn't mention my job boredom. I was cranking on yuppies in general. But since you brought it up, I am pretty whiny about being bored. Been that way since I was a kid.
As to the substance, dude, you read me like a book. I've been phoning in everything in my life except having a good time since I was old enough to walk. Your post was actually damn revelatory. I knew these boards were goodn for something.
But I still sneer contmeptuously at your lifestyle and cannot understand how anyone with brains could find this tedious sort of work and utterly vapid existence most of you meander through tolerable. I stay bitter on this point because I'd rather be unhappy than kid myself.
