and then some.

A judge in Orange County was just kicked off the bench because she padded her expense account by a few hundred bucks and, when caught, lied about it.

Sounds like the damn circus ring of doctors I get each time I have to take the kid to ER. Next time it's gonna be, "Excuse me, what are you doing for my daughter, and if it's nothing more than signing a piece of paper, GTFO"

2,400 billable hours is insane (have you ever tried it?). But good luck nonetheless.

Of course it is, I'm never going to hit it, but if I shoot for it, I'll at least hit 2000, I would hope.

Houston? I thought you lived in New England somewhere.

BTW, I had hoped that when you said you got a new job, it was in a different line of work... oh well... see ya in hell.

Nope, moved here from Indiana. Yup, still a lawyer, though now I get to deal with non-criminals, at least ones not yet caught.

I'll take it.

Could be worse-could be automobile insurance defense. blech.

at least leaving a sponge in or cutting out the wrong testicle makes for a good laugh.

No, I'm not yet qualified to make tea, I might burn myself!

My job is to refill the napkin dispensers and ensure there's enough sugar, artificial sweetner, etc..

Er, isn't they only 46 hours a week? Even if Zkrib's rule of thumb applies, 60 hours sounds like par for the course in that line of work. 80 would be closer to insane, and I know attorneys that do it with gusto.
