It may be that I've mostly been lucky enough to acutally be a client in those circumstances, but the two times it's happened to me, I've ended the meeting with the statement "Have someone who can change the form call me when you're ready to get serious." Both times it was on a conference call and I've been called back within fifteen minutes.

Symptom of micromanagement from above. Understandable. No associate wants to lose a job, since we're all trained that This Thing of Ours is The World.
D'ja ever wonder what you're career would have been like if you knew then what you do now about the business of law.
I'd have blackmailed a few firms with fraudulent bills.

I almost bought a pair of red driving mocs when I was drunk in Ft. Lauderdale recently. They looked kinda cool.

People who use cutesy contractions like "D'ja" forfeit the right to complain about the use of cutesy diminuatives like "delish."

I don't complain about delish. I love the term.

Some people can pull off the red footwear look quite well.

How could you have been drunk in Fort Lauderdale and not thought to call me?
You suck, Sebastian Dangerfield. You suck.

Conference with the wife. Tagging along...
I actually go there a few times every year. I'll be back in the Fall.
ETA: I was fucking around about the colostomy bags. I like that town. I like getting blasted early reading the papers at that old hotel in the middle of Los Olas.
