That way it's clear Asshole fucked up, but I never say it.

Exactly what I, a genius, was suggesting.

I've seen a technique work in this type of situation that I like to call the "let me check" defense.

I like this.

Does this work for other things, too?

Wife: "Are you fucking my sister?"

Me: "Let me check!"



Friend: "Did you puke in my bathtub?"

Me: "Let me check!"

If you have documents to check in those cases, that's probably not a good thing.

You poor mentorless sap. Let me help out since I feel responsible for you.

Don't fuck with this guy. He is in a better position to fuck your career up than you are to fuck up his. He may have made partner in a boom year and he may be coasting now, but he has enough juice to survive the useless-partner-cut over the pass few years.

Just finish this transaction for him, don't kill yourself and the next time he calls tell him you can't help him because you are swamped with work in your actual practice area.

weekly emails sayig "I am not aware of anything going on. Is anything going on?" couldn't hurt.

And I hear that more and more of these hippies are heading West each and every day.

It's like Manifest Destiny in reverse. NTTAWWT.

He also has a reputation as a bad lawyer who made partner during a boom time and has just coasted through for the last few years.

So you work with Sidd, do you.

Also, I won't give people's names to headhunters, financial planners, the guy who comes to the office to do custom shirts, etc. And I hate it when I get a call from some asshole who is all "Your friend Oswald is so happy with the custom shirts I make for him."

I do but I make them give me shirt or pay twenty dollar!

You obviously work for a partner with no juice. I had similar happen to me and my highly-juiced partner doesn't want troubled partners disrupting one of his precious worker bees and getting in the way of keeping his clients happy...he simply said that I wasn't to work with troubled partner anymore and if troubled partner tried to give me work in the future to direct troubled partner to juiced partner.

I saw a yellow one on my commute home with the following license plate

THNXGOP

I really wish I'd had some sort of explosive device to toss at it.

THank you and have a nice night,

Muffindearest, we acknowledge the genius thing but are much more interested in a graphic display of your bra size than your IQ.

That's pretty much what my juiceds said, without really telling me what to do. It's not like I can back out of the tranny before it's over, though, even if he did lie about the scope and really pull some sneaky shit. Regardless, it's a good lesson to learn. I've been at my current firm (in different offices) for a few years now, and I've never run into this bullshit before. I guess I was spoiled and only working for the right people. New policy is, always check up on people before I work for them.

And, actually, maybe I am spoiled at current firm, but I would take offense even if someone I really liked told me unequivocably not to work for someone else. It was that kind of territorial tomfoolery that caused me, in part, to leave my first firm, and I've never looked backwith regret.

Why do I get the feeling that you use this line a lot on Monday morning when recapping your weekend?

What she said. Bitch to the partner who you do the most work for and who has the most juice and say "This asshole is fucking me. Get me outta working for him or I go postal."
