Urrrggh.

So, despite my constant bitching about being a corporate lawyer, I think it has been interesting that I have actually enjoyed my job...and don't think I've actually bitched about it at all. But now...

....Wow.

4 out of the last 5 weekends in the office.

42 billed hours in the last 4 days (Saturday, Monday, Tuesday).

Expectation to be in the office until 1-2 am for the next three days.

3, 4, 5, or 6 conference calls per day.

...Blurgh.

In other words, I am the master of the new Geithner Bailout. Maybe I will comment on it. Someday.

In other news, I bought a 22" samsung monitor to accompany my 13 inch macbook. AND IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!! Circuit City Bankruptcy Whoop Whoop!

Well you're just a regular Master of the Universe aren't you.

Congratulations. This sounds like a backdoor brag to me. Are you all about the braggadocio of billable hours now?

Just keepin' you honest (and keeping up my reputation as an asshole).

Hope everything is well otherwise...

What do you even need that 22" in monitor for? You don't even watch stuff on your computer, do you?

To bad the market told Geithner to suck it.

H: heh. 30 Rock?

Fair point/catch. Though it's more of a brag on exhaustion than a brag on what I'm doing.

I actually don't brag about billables because it's an indication of how much a job would suck. And bragging about how much your job sucks is embarassing in the context of being a corp attorney.

MPDR: So I can leave the office and work from home. And watch stuff.

RS: What did I say about predictable comments? Agreed it was a weak move to unveil a framework with no details...but the stock market is kinda retarded in general, so I'm unconcerned.

look at the bright side...I will probably bill 50-60 hours this week on a 500K case and next week take the damn IL bar exam.

Don't work too hard...
