Actually ends up sorta happy I Guess....
I hate some of my clients sooooo much and I don't even care anymore.... I have found my inner "don't give a fuck." O I'll pretend to be concerned but no.... These are the same assholes who don't listen for shit and insist their opinions mean something [bursts out laughing]. No, fuck you, no.... Not only does the law say this but the judge does too. "You don't like it," I'm not surprised.
Co Worker's employment age discrimination suit: I fucking told her not to take this case and certainly not on contingency. Fuck contingency. I never do 'em. Client loses nothing if you lose so they don't care. There are deadlines to turn in documents and even extended deadlines. Client blows through all of them. So, now the company she's suing is making the case that client is a bad employee who doesn't listen for shit. Judge sees the document deadlines pass right on by with client not doing what she's been asked repeatedly. She's been diggin' that hole. So I honestly asked client if she wanted the money she's suing over or not. No, serious question, is this a free way for you to stick it to your company for firing your old stupid ass at firm's expense?
Every criminal client I've ever had: FUCK.... YOU.... You're the one that got arrested, not me. It should go without saying I'll do everything legally possible to defend you. Suck up your ego and realize you got arrested and you're the one being judged here and not me. "Your shitty lawyer blew your case?" You had no case and you're the one who got arrested.
And for all my bitching about it here, you know what. I don't care. I just don't care. <--- That's so god damn happy for once. I am so sick of being treated like I'm a fucking service employee flipping burgers. I'm a god damn attorney. I don't care what stupid crazy expectations client says anymore. Boss has told me to just ignore them now. Boss actually came out of his office today. It was magical.
Stupid client is being stupid client up in the front. Unreasonable as shit. Boss is sitting there with feet on desk, literally, listening to classical music in his office smoking a cigar (which he has told landlord and city to screw off about while handing them a complaint he drafted to charge him for smoking indoors, basically daring them to do it).
[Classical music from boss' office stops, and old man makes his way the hell out front], "Are you making all that racket."
Client: "Who are you?"
[boss points to the front door, which has his name on it], "You didn't see it on the way in?"
Client: "I wanna talk to you about your employees...."
[boss cuts guy off] "You've been bellowing over Bach and much to my dismay, I've been listening. Get out."
[Boss turns to me] "And you! Stick up for yourself and tell this jerk to beat it! You're too damn polite, you pansy!"
[boss returns to corner office muttering something].
God he is a snarly old war vet, you've gotta give him that.
