etc. etc.

are you the billing partner at my firm? that speach sounds remarkably familiar.

Interrogatory sure has a lot of syllables.

Have fun with the law

I've gotten oohs and aahs from overeducated stiffs, too, but sitting at this desk trudging through endless documents has nothing to do with that.

IronY, YeS, good One! Veryyy SubTle!

Nuts! Nuts to you all!

So the turkey with the insurance gig is making a lousy two bills and you're jealous? Free time? You mean that time he spends harassing everyone he's ever met at social events? Uggh. He's a reasonably paid troll whom I hope will stay away from me, and whom I will kick in the teeth if he gets too pushy.

I enjoy what I do. It's fun. I'm smart, and I get to show it off pretty regularly to oohs and aahs from that rich High School degree guy you know as well as from other overeducated stiffs. And the pay isn't bad, and my kids look up to me and run to hug me when I come home.

I enjoy sitting on my ass. I would like to do so on Bilmore's Island. I assure you, it is miles better to be rich and uneducated than the reverse. You can always go get a degree.

I'm having fun working with the fact pattern and coming up with solutions to a very complex problem, and I like that I'm helping someone get something accomplished. I'm worrying about the legalities so they can worry about getting the project out of the conceptual phase and into actuality. I haven't been this excited about what I do in a long time. I don't hate what I do, but this particular case and issue makes me remember why sometimes I love it. Have you ever loved it? If so, try to remember why. What was it that made it so interesting or exciting or something that you wanted to do instead of the hundreds of other professions out there? If you can go back and remember what it was that made you do this in the first place, you might find some more joy in what you do.

or you can do what I did;
1) find a relatively low time-suck job that you neither love nor hate;
2) start up a side business buying and selling concert tickets;
3) spend a disproportionate amount of your time reading idiots ramble on, mostly about some hook-up that happened between two of them a few years ago; and
4) start doing research for a book you want to write called "How to lie and get away with it, every time."

We also have reptilian minions. We are equal opportunity exploiters. If you weren't afraid of the truth you would know from Ickes' site that

"there were seven levels of the reptilian race and the heirarchy of them were very similar to the Hindu caste system. So there were accordingly different shapes that occurred. The lower levels never really shifted, they were the little worker drones, if you want to call it that. The top of the line, the Brahmin-type, were very tall and winged (the Draco I talk about in the Biggest Secret and Credo Mutwa describes in The Reptilian Agenda videos)."

You would also know this about the head of the elite Janus mind control operation:

William F. Buckley Jr. (the American publisher who heads the elite Janus mind control project at NATO headquarters) was the most awful of all of them. Quite honestly he used his teeth a lot. He used to bite a lot. He got pleasure out of hurting people by biting them after he shape-shifted. To this very day I have an aversion to that kind of thing.

. . .

Buckley was taller, he was around seven feet when he shifted, and he had a split in his crown, in other words it looked like horns instead of the top of his head. And he was rounder, more of a greenish white colour."

Jesus Christ man. Get a grip. Get a job. Get some head. Please. Get something.

I'm begging you.

I'm afraid you have strengths that I will never have. As you know, I am in awe.

You are a very clever boy. The beauty of this plan is that you'll always have an excuse for lying, and will also be able to write off the associated expenses.

Those of us who are sensitive to case noted that he failed to capitalize the first letter of the second sentence. It's still Hank.

Edited to change phrasing so that I could be sure I wasn't making a hyphenation error.
