paris38 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 and probably your mom didn't work in a firm like my friends'. They only hire the best. They are literally two of the best lawyers in the state, the guy is one of the best in the country. mmmm...mkay' if you say so.
Star Gazer Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 If they really make that much money , they have people that do a great portion of the work for them . They work incredibly hard; briefly and then relax and enjoy till its time to ork incredibly hard again. Absolutely. Partners making that much money are rarely seen at the office....they're out and about rainmaking and/or enjoying their successes.

paris38 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 You have made mistakes in your life, haven't you? Does that mean you weren't raised with standards? Actually I do talk to my attorney friends a lot, and see them a few times a year. Unnatural looking boobs? Does that strike a chord with you, Star Gazer?

Or as in Alien boobs?
paris38 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 You don't know my friends. I know their salaries and I know how much work they put in. They do take vacations and travel, but they do work hard and perform well so why not? This is something to which the OP and Star Gazer should aspire, not worrying about hot bosses' birthdays and such. I can tell you my attorney friends aren't thinking that at work. Yeah , okay , like I said . If you say so.

Yep' Mkay' , like I said like twice no three times now , if you say so.
Star Gazer Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 You have made mistakes in your life, haven't you? Does that mean you weren't raised with standards? Exactly my f'ing point, you damn MORON!!!!!! Instead of just saying that she was making a mistake, you were telling her she was NOT raised with morals, which was inappropriate, incorrect, and rude. For crying out loud!!! And just so you know, I loooooooooooooooooooovvvvveeeee my boobs. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVEEEE them. Nothing you say will change my mind. Mmmmmkay?
paris38 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Someone has an inferiority complex. Sorry but just because your mom worked at one firm does not mean that reflects what it's like in all firms. But keep thinking that, if your mommy said so, that's how it is ALL OVER. Yep' Mkay' , like I said like twice no three times now , if you say so.
paris38 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 I was saying if she had a point to say she was raised with standards, she had an odd way of prioritizing. It should be more important to her that she be professional at work than goo goo gaa gaa ing over her boss. What do you think would be more important to her parents, that she not flirt with her boss or that she get his birthday right? Would they feel it was appropriate to send him a personal gift to his house? Exactly my f'ing point, you damn MORON!!!!!! Instead of just saying that she was making a mistake, you were telling her she was NOT raised with morals, which was inappropriate, incorrect, and rude. For crying out loud!!!

Yup, okay Paris ...I don't know how many times to say it but ... If you say SO....... (do we have a icon to reflect deafness?)
paris38 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 it's obvious you don't believe this, and that you believe that just because your Mom said so it's like that in every firm.

Oh, but because your FRIEND has a firm like the one you describe all the other attorneys making that kind of money behave just like him?? Hahahahahahahaaaa!!! You're hysterical.
tinktronik Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 it's obvious you don't believe this, and that you believe that just because your Mom said so it's like that in every firm. Okay , No at this point I think maybe you are just crazy . I have said it now 4 times . You can't seem to let it go . If you say so .
paris38 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 She has been following my posts all night, and digging up ones I wrote a week ago and responding to them. Girl's on a mission.

Star Gazer Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 She has been following my posts all night, and digging up ones I wrote a week ago and responding to them. Girl's on a mission. Like I told you, you've been the most entertaining part of my whole evening. With the exception of your obsession with my breasts, I've really enjoyed reading what you write... hahahaha.
paris38 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 'unnatural, and unattractive. 'Tis a shame that you have a lawyer's salary and got such a bad job, but not an obsession. You're the one who started stalking my posts tonight, hon, and PMing me, too! This is getting creepy. Like I told you, you've been the most entertaining part of my whole evening. With the exception of your obsession with my breasts, I've really enjoyed reading what you write... hahahaha.
Author WilliR Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 Tink and StarGazer are right - most of the time the partners are playing golf while the clerks are doing all the real work. They leave at noon to the golf course unless they are preparing for trial. One of the partners brought his mistress to a bar association dinner. Paris I understand that I must work on my professional image. But I came here for thoughts about how other people would deal with this situation if they were in my shoes, not be ordered to cease all flirtatious behavior which has nothing to do with the immediate bday present dilemma, of having to explain it as early as Monday if he calls my cell. The issue is the bday present. What would you say if you were in that situation and picked up the phone and it was your boss asking about a birthday present at his house? Thanks again to everyone your responses have lifted my spirits quite a lot, you are kind people What does my mom's opinion of me have to do with any of this? I sure as hell am not living life for my momma. There are many things ma will never know about her little angel. Also why do you assume my boss is hot? LOL Up until this point he was by far the bigger dork and always knocking things over, or spilling food on himself. But a truly funny guy, we will sit together going over briefs with a cup of coffee and just start laughing about silly stuff. Does that mean I'm going gooo gooo gaa gaaa over him?? Uhhh.... no. I just don't want him to think less of me.
CardPlay3r Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Ok this topic has been going off the rail alot, so before I jump on that train let me just say something to the OP Jeejo willir, you are totally making something out of NOTHING. Anyone that has at least a grain of humor in them would laugh about it, you need to loosen up (a lot!)
CardPlay3r Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Now for the fun part....god paris, would you get over yourself already? Are you running for the conceited bitch of the year awards? Wow, you're taking narcissism to a new extreme bragging about having lawyer friends that make good money. You seem to think that it puts you in a good light, do you feel you 'have connections' too? LOL reality check nobody cares how much your friends make nor how much you make for instance. And Gazer, I never would have guessed you to be a lawyer! You seemed...well human, not like those more-boring-than-the-pope lawyers in the movies (or paris' friends) maybe you're the exception . BTW are they real? You know I had to ask
whichwayisup Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 You're really over reacting!!! Listen, number one, he's a guy and guys tend not to 'think' about the stuff you're freaking out over. SO WHAT - you sent him a card and a gift and you mistakenly thought it was his bday. NO big deal. I'm sure for a second he'll be like WTF, my bday isn't until the summertime, but hey, I guess she thought its on Monday. Then, he'll forget. There is no way he's going to think of you as a retard either. Don't beat yourself over this.
the_total_package Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 After reading all these posts, I'm really surprised that the OP is a lawyer. She sounds like she's in high school or something. I do agree, though, she does need to think about her professionalism at work.
Topper Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Forget the OP and the original question! lets get back to the food fight! I have had dealing with a great number of Lawyers both professionally and personally. I once dated a lawyer How sick is that: I can say from what I have seen It does not matter if they Bill out at $500. to $1000 an hour or some small one office guy working for $50.00 per hour. office affairs happen. Many of those big law firms are filled to the brim with classy attorneys that are sleeping with paralegals or Jr attorneys. The new trophy wife of a Partner in a prestigious firm is likely to have worked for him. So I must ask are legal minds an aphrodisiac?
Star Gazer Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 And Gazer, I never would have guessed you to be a lawyer! You seemed...well human, not like those more-boring-than-the-pope lawyers in the movies (or paris' friends) maybe you're the exception . BTW are they real? You know I had to ask Awwww, thanks! My closest friends are predominantly made up of attorneys. When we meet new friends, they too are surprised that we're attorneys. I have friends at the top-tier firms, friends who are DA's, friends who are PD's, friends at boutique firms and friends who are sole practitioners. We all work hard, but we play hard too. We're also young, both in mind and body. Keeps things lively!
