Yes. Like when someone doesn't shave, for instance.

But how can it be exciting if it the outcome potentially won't come to fruition until April 2007?

Eh? "total eedjit"? "too easy"?

In other news, I just discovered that I ride on sebby's train. Thanks for changing my gender, dude. I can't help it that my client base pays me full freight to handle shitty claims. As I told my law school classmate, I'd wax your car or mow your lawn for my full hourly rate paid (in full and without complaint) in less than 45 days.

Of course I don't mind annoying my co-commuters by conducting settlement discussions on a $10,000 slip and fall case. Cash money, baby.

I can't believe no one has quoted this one:

Girl: See, I'm allergic to Vicodin. I took some before I let my boyfriend do me in the ass, and ended up just getting done in the ass and having a stomachache.

Gwyneth Paltrow on juggling motherhood and fame: "I sort of look at some peers of mine and I think, 'No, you've got it all wrong.' I just want to tell them all to have babies and be happy, and not get sucked into that Hollywood thing."

Smug married indeed.

There's some atrocious foul stout woman who sometimes rides my trains and argues - full on argues with opposing counsel - in a shrill, Joan Rivers on meth squeal - about piddly little shitass cases. She'll bark and bleat about a settlement of a couple grand for 15 minutes, infuriating everyone around her.

If this is in Philly, I think I know this woman. She accused me of aiding and abetting fraud and threatened to report me to the bar when I suggested to her that my client was not willing to bend over and take it in the ass from her client (who was ironically eventually indicted for fraud in a related matter, thanks in part to testimony by my client, who was, AFAIK, completely innocent in the whole thing and who just wanted to get out of the situation with his business intact).

I think at issue was about $25K.

I believe that was part of one of Shape Shifter's Slave stories, posted about a year ago.

(I'm not real clear on how to do that period-between-words thing, but I think I did it right.)

I cannot stand when someone reads over my shoulder. It usually happens at home. This is why we won't make it to triple digits.

Uh, even at the computer?

eta: Did you previously say something about a temper?

Like today. I now officially hate all those idiots who refuse to carry a damn bag and now pull around luggage, filled with your lunch and the files or laptop you aren't going to work on from home tonight, like some stupid fucking stewardess perpetually on her way to the airport. 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.

I was one of those people. It was fun having it bounce off all the lawyers trying to dash to midtown firms at 10:00 am. My excuse is that I was on a trip to NYC and only had my wheelie bag for the laptop and docs and was too hungover to carry the damn thing. I wouldn't think that all 100,000 people wheeling those stupid looking things can be in from out of town and recently drunk. I have since been provided with a non-wheeled version. Just wanted to fess up that I am one of the perps.

Worst waif ever. A whiffle-waif, if that's possible. Shit, she even married a whiffle-pop star. If you threw she and her husband off the Empire State Building, they'd float along some air currents and land in the bay. They probably live in a goddamned balsa loft, with exposed paper mache walls.

I feel dirty every time I hum along with Clocks.
