I'm confused, you practice an area of law with a lot of gay attorneys? I didn't know there was such a thing.

Yes, when I was a kid and working at some corner store. I got fed up for a variety of reasons, found the owner, said I quit, and left.

Translation: I wish I was witty enough to win a Bilmore of the Day award but unfortunately listening to profane and misogynist rap music has destroyed my creative abilities.

Essentially, yes. I was told to sign an agreement stating that if I didn't do everything exactly when where and how the partner wanted that I agreed that I was resigning immediately and that I agreed to forfeit all vacation time, etc. (nice, huh?). I told him I refused to sign and he said that by refusing to sign I was agreeing to quit. I said no, you're firing me (gotta keep those unemployment benefits in mind whan you've got nothing else lined up!). It was about then that I was escorted out of the building. No regrets here.

I have a good friend who worked all weekend getting his files in order with accompanying memos and a letter of resignation. He walked out on Sunday and never looked back. It didn't hurt his career at all.

So, Angel premiers next Wednesday, with little or no advertising that I've seen, and James Marsters now apparently gets higher billing than Alexis Denisof.

And Harmony is going to be in 17 episodes???

That is extremely fucked up.

I am hopeful that a Spike detached from Buffy won't suck. He was a pretty entertaining character once, before he got a soooouuuull and his scripts were reduced to an angstey "good God, gull" every third line. James Marsters is excellent at snark, and hopefully will simultaneously mock angel's hair and Boranaz's acting. But I would be way pissed if I was Denisof. And Harmony just pisses me off, she never had enough snap to do that princess-bitch schtick as well as Cordelia.

He had just had someone successfully claim unemployment and was trying to figure out how to get rid of me without firing me - greedy little pig. My replacement cost much more than I had been getting (not hard since I was making peanuts) and also cost the firm a large malpractice settlement shortly thereafter. Sometimes what comes around does go back around.

I got some great experience there, but completely lost faith in employers. In large part, that's why I no longer have one - and so far it's working out well.

No doubt, if Buffy had said, but he's different now, he's god a souuuuul one more time, I might have become Texan and shot my television set.

He was a great bad guy though and a decent half bad guy for a time.

The only time I ever liked Harmony is when she attacked Spike.

And I thought my story about triumphantly quitting the fast food joint before Barry the Assistant Manager could write me up for giving another employee a soda when she was off duty (nb: sodas were free for on duty employees) was dramatic. That's my only triumphant quitting story.

Edited to query whether the phrase "I think you have an attitude problem" was coined by a fast food assistant manager.

And further to remove a hyphen (hi, Atticus!).

In fact, I just clicked off the show images toggle. For those of you who don't show links instead of images, just right click and select properties. You'll be amused by this one.
Straight Google. I saw the web address, but got there through google, so it's not like I was surfing gay sites. Either way, I don't really give a shit.
