No. they are just doing a job. Cogs in a machine, sts. It's like Ty taking his faux-elitist-intellectualised snobberyish hatred of wine in a box out on the poor migrant farm workers who pick the grapes. Those dudes are just trying to survive in the rough and tumble whirlwind of the California boxed wine industry. Trying to make a dolla outta fifteen cents. iyw.

Love the playas DTB, they are the only ones coming straight up. Word is bond.

Pet rocks were bad enough. Though I suppose a water fountain could at least show some affection. Sort of.

Some of the newer more upscaley wines-in-boxes are pretty drinkable, you know.

One of my sparring partners is also a banker. He's married though. Damn.
Honey, you are a rider producer. Like, Ms. X is gonna email you ERISA comments please drop in rider 27X.

I work with deal attys who work with bankers....I'm freakin' staff and they hang with me. They hang with you because it is their job.


And the boxing thing is old.

I agree, but those are probably the ones from the PacNW. the CA stuff is third tier.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but just like being an alcoholic, you'll always be a lawyer. Just not practicing. Unless you miss a dues payment. Then it's not so much like being an alcoholic.

Um, I don't have to worry so much about major ERISA changes with any immediacy anymore. Bwahahahahahahaha.

More relevant if used in my context. Why would they want to hang with staff.

Fugee, Fugee, Fugee, have you learned nothing in the last couple of weeks? The only credible claims about a woman's hotness are those made by the woman herself. Those claims are all the more reliable if the woman provides concrete examples of the male behavior that she observed and that could only be interpreted to mean that the woman is hot. These reports of gwinky's hotness by other parties, both male and female, simply can't stand up to serious scrutiny now that the evidentiary standards have been so elevated.

The bar is set low for female attorneys my dear...."hot" in that context doesn't take much.

Why just female attorneys? Where, exactly, do you work? The male attorneys where I worked were not (as a rule) exactly anyone would confuse with prime specimens.
