I love my job.

Yes, the day-to-day can be dull. I cannot think of a job where that is not the case. Even Michael Jordan had to go to practice every day, and Wesley Snipes has to remember lines and shoot and reshoot scenes ad infinitum, and Jennifer Connelly's highly compensated love slave (my preferred occupation last time I took one of those tests) needs to clean up a bit.

But there are times when it's thrilling as hell -- like when I stand up to address a room full of parties and witnesses and triers of fact, and a hush falls over the room, and I get to sum up the case I've been thinking about for the past year or three. And there are other times where it's deeply satisfying on an intellectual level, or on a personal level -- the latter being the sort of thing E/O is talking about.

I spent several years between college and law school knocking around San Francisco, tending bar, temping, and having enormous amounts of fun. Eventually, the shitty work aspect of that life got to me -- not so much the lack of money (though certainly the money I make now is a nice thing) as the fact that 8 hours a day I was doing something that bored me.

Maybe if I had a great artistic talent and the drive to capitalize on it those years would have been more satisfying for a longer time. But having seen the other side, a job that pays me scandalous money to think, to give advice, to work with smart and cool people, to avoid heavy lifting, and to have occasional moments of spotlight glory is a pretty damn nice thing.

I suppose that makes me a geek in SD's eyes, but if so, fuck him.

Oh Lord, Sidd... Look, I like addressing the room as well. Problem is, I don't want to:

a. Research anything;
b. Sit behind a desk;
c. Mentally msaturbate over issues that won't come up;
d. Fill out time sheets.

I need a young geek to write my research for me so I can continue glad handling clients, instead of having to write all of my own briefs and having to, god forbid, go on westlaw. Contrary to my record against TM on this board, with another person's reasearch memo in hand, there aren't many arguments I've lost. But don't ask me to do the organization work or the research, cuz although I can do it, I fucking don't want to, and try as I might, I ain't going to enjoy the minutia. Unfortunately, in this economy, my boss won't give me some young library jockey to do all my legwork, and that sucks.

I'm waht you'd call a "face guy." I'm great in person, but wilt when it comes to the dull shit like cranking out CYA letters and briefs. Sure, I do them cuz I have to, but its poor use of my talents. I should be exclusively dealing with people. People with ADD like me should not be forced to sit still for too long... Its cruel.

I have explained the above to a previous employer when I was leaving. His reaction was to be utterly appalled at my insulting of "library-jockeys," but he did admit "Yeh, you really don't belong behind a desk all day."

You're not a geek for liking what you do. You're a geek for throwing a Calvin & Hobbes quote at me.

Apropos of many things, MIB was also the voice of the pets.com sock puppet. Having him on the same '80s show as Triumph is funny on two levels, but probably not more.

Every blessed skit put on MTV by The State was once online for free, but apparently an upcoming DVD release inspired them to remove the links. I tended to like "$240 Worth of Pudding" and
"The Jew, The Italian, and the Red-Head Gay."

Captain Monterrey Jack rocked.

Did anyone happen to catch Tracy Morgan's ad for "Uncle Jemima's Sour Mash Whiskey" on the Best of Tracy Morgan on SNL last Saturday. That might be the funniest fucking bit 've ever seen.

Psst... here's a little secret... star puffing your time sheets like everyone else.

I think if you are going to call something Celebs Photos: Gallery- Undressed! The Celebs should actually be undressed. But, alas, they are not. Isn't that false advertising? Anyone?

and where you can hire outside counsel to do your research.

Thanks. If you like, I will have sex with you after Lee breaks up with you and you want to spite Tim for carrying on with Claire, if you're up for it. I was in the army, you know.

I'll think about it, while I look sheepishly at Tim. Maybe while we're doing it I can close my eyes and imagine it's him instead. I wish David would leave me alone. Can you get him to stop bothering me?

[Walter_Disco_Mitty]

I am on the phone with opposing counsel and they say to me "I will try to arrange a threeway.. I mean a conference call"

I laughed. How juvenile!

Perhaps she reads the FB too?

Two words (not including the ones before the colon): sex-with paralegals.

1. Roy Horn has been transferred to UCLA medical center to begin his recovery.

I wonder if Montecore was just getting him back for all the choking he had to endure while a cub.

2. Paul McCartney and Heather Mills are the proud parents of a daughter, Beatrice Milly. What a name to be saddled with. I can hear taunts of "Beatrice Beatle" on the playground now.

3. Anyone else watch LeBron's debut last night? I was impressed. The kid actually knows how to play team ball. His shooting fundamentals are a bit sketchy. It will be interesting to see how he holds up under the rigors of an NBA season.

I miss Brian Fellowes. I feel his pain.

Based solely on the photograph of Angelina Jolie in the above mentioned photo compilations, I have come to the conclusion that she may actually be the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen. She is so beautiful in that picture that it hurts.
