Does one really need a Room Of One's Own to masturbate? isn't one sort of in the room? Or a box? Which is like a room, in that it is a three-dimesional square.

Then you're not taking the right approach to work. Unless you're a partner, you are there to do a specific group's partners' work. If other partners in other groups are asking you to do work, it takes away from your ability to do your own work. A partner who says I want my associates available to do our group's work and not messing around with other random joe's in the firm, as long as he has the work to support you, shouldn't be considered to be considered territorial tomfoolery, he shoudl be considered someone who is concerned about not overworking his associates lending them out to jackasses and someone who hires people for HIS group to work in HIS group and should be able to expect that you are available to do the group's work and not tied up doing someone else's crap.

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.

Have any of the associates in larger offices of your firm organized themselves into guilds? Does your partner have a really cool coat of arms?

Wrong, but you get some credit for a quick response.

I just work at a shop where associates are not the vassals of individual lords, er, partners.

I want you so bad the way that I can never tell if you're joking with all this triple entendre and your happy pussy avatar and your dirty looks and the way that you fantasize about me.

Since Slot C girl had been several months now, I may audition a replacement. You're in the running!

Yeah, I think that some people don't understand that law firms can be organized in very different ways and have very different cultures and that universal answers don't work. My firm has very discrete groups but no compulsory assignment system, which I like quite a bit.

Here is a reasonable facsimile of my breasts, only mine are white with pink nipples and aren't quite as low as these. The shape is similar.

I hate you too. And it's a sleepy kitten. Not necessarily happy.

Night night.

It is a sweepy, wittle, kitty-kitty. So, cute. It is the only thing about you that I like I hate everything else.

Bitch please. The entire FB has already seen multiple graphic displays of my TITS (a subsitute for bra size, I suppose), as has most of Minnesota, much of Europe, and some on each cost.

The more I think about it, the same is true for my IQ. IQ is substitute for "fancy place" a/k/a pussy, right?

"Reasonable facsimile" is not good enough. Post your own and then get out of dodge.
