Lat -- how does one brutally murder his own life?

Go to law school?

(For those in after edit, see "So you lied on your job application about having brutally murdered your life? No worries, you're still fit to teach. (Hey, it's only vocational school.) [Overlawyered]")

It says "wife," not "life."

2 - you obviously viewed it after Lat caught the error. See my post (it's located due north of your illiteracy).

So the error existed for less than one minute? Comment #2 was posted at 6:13.

You may have misread that, #1.

4 - First here again. Surely you and 2 are 0Ls. If so, fear not, as you will learn to look for details when you go to law school.

Until then, I draw your attention to two facts: Lat made the post at 6:09 (re: more than 1 minute) and, more importantly, I copy-pasted the language in my comment.

Anyone worried about losing his/her job to India? Apparently there's some outsourcing.

For the trolls, the person in question was a well-respected professor from Penn State.

"Anyone worried about losing his/her job to India?"

No, if my job consisted entirely of 10 hour days of checking documents for responsiveness and privilege, then I would worry about losing it to a $40/hr contract atty across the street in one of the many e-discovery sweat-shops that are appearing in large legal markets. However, most of our clients are the sort of assholes who say "I canno undertand yu" and hang up whenever they hear an Indian accent on the phone, so I will continue to be able to bill them many hundreds an hour to speak wasp to them.

Well, good thing my job consists of checking for commas for about 10 hours a day. Ah, life as a corporate associate is Dy-No-Mite!

stuffbiglawassociateslike.wordpress.com <-- they make me angrier than I should be and angrier than I already am.

Hm...I'm that kind of asshole that hangs up the phone when I call customer service somewhere already pissed off about something that I can't remember now. maybe it was a misplaced comma or something.
