As everyone who is anyone knows my current coffee drink of the moment is triple espresso. Trippio for the pisanos out there (bon giorno Coltrane!).

AoN there is a special ed kid on my drive to the train. She stares at the car every morning. Is it bad form to wave? I feel badly.

I love that in the first sentence you talk about a special ed kid and in the last you say "I feel badly".

Yes but I'm nuts like that. I love the city I love working in a big firm I love interacting with clients I love going out on the deal dinners. I love that shit. but I am a weirdo as we've discussed prior

You know, ppnyc, no offense and all that, but I think that were most people to have the opportunity to have b'n'b's lifestyle (or something even approaching it), they'd jump at the chance.

I agree with you, but my wife would go nuts. So would I. Go figure. Diff'rent strokes, and all that.

I think I finally understand where you were coming from a few weeks ago.

You were upset NOT because TM said you weren't pretty, but rather, because he lied about the fact that you ARE pretty. And he did it in a nasty way.

This means that you met with TM and subjected yourself to his appraisal NOT because you were seeking validation, but rather, you were just meeting so that he could verify your prettiness. No more, no less. It's the fact that he lied that set you off.

Have I got this right now?

AND AND that he subjected me to some strict standard stringent set of parameters like model like and all that and gorgeous hottie standards. I implied I was a pretty girl that gets a lot of attention. I do. Attys here buy me coffee, give me sbux cards, take me out to lunch. I get hit on on the train, in GC in sbux which was high comedy here everywhere. doesn't mean I'm a smokin hottie AT ALL.

I think (but maybe this is just me) that you would find that tolerance-for-bullshit (part of any job) would decline in direct proportion with your need for the money.

Maybe that's not true if you have a job that you absolutely love (I'm thinking Bill Gates or movie stars...), but anything related to the law? Meh.

Some poor 56 year old woman shilling makeup in Chappaqua her CEO hubby dumped her to trade up? NO THANKS.

I don't think you should worry. Be confident!

aren't you the one who said she wasn't very good looking and is chubby/borderline fat? Your husband didn't marry you for your looks, so why would he dump you when you lose what looks you have?

I'd rather be the client. Also, that dinner thing is something of a softball, no? You may want to edit.

No food in the car slows me down.

But the car still looks good, and that's important.

My wife's car: Wheaties, etc. permitted.
My car: No food. Water if you're dying.

Guess which car you'd rather ride in?

Put it this way, I can still spot the oldest 1200 and take her in the mile.

In my case, yes, although I suspect I'd do something different.

Careful. It's a short step from understanding a nutjob to simply being one. I watched this happen to Hank on the PB.

When he married me I was very good looking.

Unless she's not walking yet, this is a LIE!!
