I figure it means they have a new secretary who doesn't want to offend.

I'm doing it for Hank's benefit. He seems to think we're the same person. Besides, it's been weeks for me. I can only hold out for so long. Especially since Sunny Bunny gave me my hand job and I can't pick on her anymore because she promised next time she'd blow me.

I am just beginning this heart rate training and there is so much conflicting information. Perhaps there is a better board where I can ask this question.
I've been thinking about getting a heart-rate monitor, and would appreciate thoughts/recommendations/invective on this topic. PM is fine if you don't want to share with the class.

Summer Reading?

Has anyone ordered this yet (using the amazon link of course)?

From the review:
Quote:
Who knew? Pamela Anderson's debut novel Star is funny, sexy, and utterly compelling--a must read for chick lit fans, subscribers to US Weekly, and anyone with an ounce of curiosity about Hollywood. Still not convinced? Here are three reasons to read Star: it offers a gossipy glimpse into the extravagant lives of the rich and shameless; it’s funny--filled with laugh-out-loud memorable moments; and most surprising, it’s got a lot of heart--don't be surprised if you find yourself falling for this sweet, naïve, and lovable heroine.

Speaking from experience, if your heart is working too fast, you'll know it. When that happens, slow down. If you're worried about your heart not working fast enough, the latest research indicates that an elevated heart rate hasn't got one single fucking thing to do with general health maintenance or physical conditioning.

Thurgreed told me to ignore this. He says you really want me.

The partner I work for makes me sign my e-mails and correspondence to opposing counsel with "Esq." because she says that I sound so young on the phone that people assume that I'm her secretary if I don't expressly note otherwise.

It annoys the hell out of me, but for the amount of money they pay me, I'd sign my name with a big old "X" if that's what they wanted me to do.

I like mine. It seems to be accurate, and it beeps at me when I'm out of my target range (which by my trainer's calculation is between 123 and 162, something to do with my age and what my resting heart rate is). It's a Polar A3 and it has a chest strap and a wrist watch. It took me awhile to figure out all of the features, which sort of sucked when I'd accidently clear out everything when I was looking for my average heart rate over the course of my workout. I don't think it has a lot of the bells and whistles that some of the others have, but it serves my purposes.

I don't know whether secretaries here put Esq. after my name on letters or not. And I don't really care. I send out maybe 5 letters per year (high side estimate). In contracts, I put Esq. after the contact attorney for my firm if the person on the other side has put Esq. after their name in the notices section. And I might just leave it in if it's already in the form document. And the contact person is never me, so I don't particularly care. I guess I've just missed out on the mock-the-Esquire-signers bandwagon. Maybe my non-litigation background has let me down here.

I would never even think to indicate that I am a lawyer on any personal stuff (like checks). I typicaly hide the ball with strangers on the lawyer thing anyway because I am sick to fucking death of all the lawyers suck replies that I get upon answering the "what do you do?" question. Typically from people who have no earthly idea of what I do or that they are more likely to be hit by lightning than they are to run into me at the courthouse.
