God, catch up already. Oh, and I thought you might like this:


• Halle Berry has been named the new face of Versace. Still no word on whether her foot has secured that Manolo Blahnik contract yet, though I'm leaning towards no.

Tiled, floor-to-ceiling walls are the way to go, then. Or a single-serving bathroom, I suppose.

And you know what? I'm not carving out people with back problems because there is no way all these assholes have back problems and I don't care if you do. Dragging these things behind you takes up space. When you are in a crowd, they fuck everything up for everyone else. And don't act like you're oblivious to what's going on behind you. When I kick it off its wheels to get past you because you're an inconsiderate asshole, I will be "oblivious" to your evil eye.

You mean the guys who pick up the luggage getting onto a train, or up a curb, and then drop it hard, not slow back onto the ground like its sooo fucking heavy, grunting? No one cares how heavy their bag is.

reminds me of the move I have now perfected:

Impatient person behind me tries to walk past me to get to the revolving door first, I block the lane, go through slowly, then when I get out move left-right-left-right so he can't pass me and misses his elevator. I never lose that one now.

Top Of My Hate List

Stupid fucking pain-in-the-ass client who wants to come by my office tomorrow in order to sign 5 documents instead of printing them out himself and signing them because he wants a free lunch out of me and because it makes him feel important to tell people he "has to go to his lawyer's office to sign some papers", thus making me miss the office pre-Thanksgiving dinner. By the way, this was outable, so it is automatically an amusing story. To be made even more amusing when I refuse to go down to reception and let him into our offices tomorrow. Loser-ass punk fucking loser.

If you ever pulled the shit this client pulls, I'd fire you. I've been to one or two client firings and that is The Best. Because clients have to be really fucking annoying to be fired typically. This client likely doesn't know how close it is to having both feet out the door here. Deals are too small/cheap; bills are always contested or finagled; unwilling to pay our standard hourly rates. Thankfully I am too expensive at this point to be used much on their files. It's good to be expensive.

I think I'm my lawyers' biggest client.

And I would not want to screw up their lunch plans, but I think they would tell me. Not that they can take me out to lunch anyway.

Hank, I trust you have this one lined up already and are just trying to decide which direction to take it?

This is almost as annoying as the bloated douchebag who gets on my train three stops after mine. If I'm in the aisle seat of the "3 Person Seat," and you are looking for a seat, I will politely stand and give you the middle seat between myself and the person with the window seat. Standard practice on the train.

Now, some bloated fuckhead lawyers will huff and puff, like I was supposed to give them the fucking aisle. I just smile and conttinue listening to the Ipod, oblivious, as they huff. Then, once I sit, the douchebags open their fucking laptops and start typing. No asshole needs to do work at that hour, for the 20 fucking minutes we're on the goddamned train. Pad your fucking hours if you must, but stop elbowing me and the guy with the window seat while you type your silly little shit into your laptop, you rude, egomanical jackass. If you were goddamned important enough, the firm would have given you a parking spot, and you wouldn't be on the goddamned train, so stop trying to kid us all and yourself, asshole.
