One of the things most striking about that article was that apparently there is no better use of the time of their partners than to have them pack their own offices. Can I short Nixon Peabody?

Good point. I'd be happy to share some of that action. Whose going long?

Because that's supposed to be the way people work better these days, and no one in the Legal Dept. had the presence of mind to say, hey, that's not such a hot idea for us.

Let me know if you'd like an opinion of outside counsel saying ya'all are loonier than a Canadian buck. I'd be willing to flat fee this one.

I don't work on much that the people around me are working on, so it's distracting to hear (and see) them talking about it. If I did, I might feel differently.

Like you don't know.

Apropos of nothing, thanks to movies on demand, I am now in love with a young Parker Posey. I really should have paid more attention to indie movies in 1995 or so.

That is "The House of Yes," I think - I saw the preview, and it looked a little too dark for me. I just watched "Kicking and Screaming" and (a few weeks ago) "Party Girl."
