Decision Number Two

Law Practice

These are the facts:

My dinner of last night is not sitting well. Not well at all.

I have been on hold on Court Call for 50 minutes now for a hearing that was supposed to start at 8:30.

That is considerably longer than I anticipated being confined to this desk.

I could be taken off hold and put on live on speakerphone in court 500 miles away at any moment, and forced to make my appearance and argue my motion.

This hotel room has a phone in the bathroom.

    I've handled conference calls and even a status conference with a federal judge while sitting on the crapper.

    Let me tell you, not only is it a relief to be able to relieve oneself when necessary — but, there is something incredibly gratifying about making $325 per hour while sitting on the shittah.

    My friends and I call that feeling: The Fear.

    Wimp. A former colleague once led a conference call while in his jaccuzi tub. His co-workers were fully aware of this fact and kept mentioning the "interference" on his line. You were only half naked and no one knew. Did you win?
