I had an interesting bacon appetizer at dinner last night. It was just very fatty pork. Is that back bacon?

The brie appetizer was better.

I've had that at a korean place. it was steamed and quite gross, but i choked it down since the waitress had tried to talk my American ass out of ordering it, and I didn't want to reinforce her sterotyping.

I'm not the only attorney going. The other one probably said "oh! oh! [steakhouse across the street] please!" Or something. I'd just drown my sorrows in a side of their mac and cheese but they put fucking bacon in that too.

pull rank. what year associate is he?

once at Biglaw I get a phone call from some corporate guy:

"Hank I need you to drop everything and jump into this very important business matter where we need someone to look at patents and it needs to happen today."

"It isn't going to happen today because partner X has me on his rush stuff."

"Hank, what year associate are you? I'm 4th year!"

Like his being closer to the slaughterhouse made me afraid of him?

But anyway, say you're vegan and paint it as insensitive to drag you there- it's California for fuck sakes.

Hmmm. I just cried at my desk for two minutes. The way the crying started, I thought it was going to last much longer, but now it's over. I am, however, a bit puffy and red. Thankfully, I am not scheduled to interview anyone today. I don't usually like to interview anyone unless I am looking really haggard and sick, and a bit puffy and red just isn't up to my usual standards.

All of you women on this board are certifiable. damn.

You are like a beacon of sanity in a windswept sea of madness. Lead on, Macduff.

In that case, he shouldn't read the discussion on Politics right now. That would be torture.

I first read this as "bacon of sanity." It was an amusing delusion.

need name of hotel in CA that is not horribly expensive where I can hear the ocean in my room. please. preferably w/in like 3 hours of LA.

I believe I spent a delightful night at the Best Western in Pismo Beach about exactly a year ago. The shore is pretty steep right there, but the hotel is right above the water.

You may be looking for something classier than a Best Western, but it usually works for me.

eta: There are two Best Westerns in Pismo Beach, and I may have been at the other one, the Shelter Cove Lodge.

I was thinking the same thing! It must be because we are both crazy.

No, but get a fucking grip. Not so much you directly, gwinc, since it sounds like you have a handle on it...but the other cry at my desk folks....there is so much stress and dealing with everyone's unique life situation you just have to fucking deal with it and move forward. If you dwell you make yourself nuts.

You must stop. Your post this morning about quiche got me started.

And now this about the brie. You are killing me.

The brie was melted and drizzled with honey and served with apple slices.

I also ate a grilled (rare) ribeye, drank a glass of champagne and a glass of a cab/syrah from Chile, and had carrot cake for dessert.

So you're sitting at your desk after a big lunch and you feel the need to fart. Do you: (a) go down the long hall to the restroom stall pull your pants down and/or lift your skirt only to fart, i.e., waste of time; (b) eaze one out with the door open hoping that no one will come visit you prior to the smell abating (kind of like having sex in public, i.e., the thrill factor); (c) get up, close the door, sit back down, and eaze one out hoping that no one will come visit you prior to the smell abating; (d) let it rip and not give a damn; or (e) other? Discuss.
