3, the correct question is how many people are working today. Despite my lackluster bonus, the idiot partner I work for said I needed to get a certain thing done today. And I'll be in tomorrow. And Saturday. And Sunday.

Stupid CSM. I'm leaving as soon as I get my bonus. The only good thing about this place is the prestige that I have on my resume...

I filled out the survey. When do I get matched with a sane, hot attorney?

Hey Glass Cock, are you ever going to explain why you have a vendetta against the real Glascock? What gives? Is it just that he has a funny name? Or are you a bitter ex-Thelen associate?

My firm has a fancy new gadget called a "printer." It allows me to take work home with me, instead of going into the office on the weekend.

Daily Thanksgiving Math Reminder:

Cravath = (Skadden / 2) - prestige + low associate moral + less pay than V50 firms soon to follow Skadden

Today's events = bill, bill, bill
Today's human interaction = the voices I hear coming from the football game on tv
Today's Thanksgiving dinner = spaghetti

Sincerely,
Lonely, overworked biglaw associate

Anyone else working alone from home today?

10-

Former Thelen and current Orrick partner the Glass Cock here, answering your question about my name. Vendetta? Heavens no! The one you refer to as the "real Glascock" is a decent man and an excellent attorney, there is nothing that warrants any ill words or actions against him. I am a Glass Cock out of admiration and honor to the fine name that is the butt of so many ill advised jokes.

Glass Cock wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving.

@20: I don't think you realize that erroneously pluralizing "stuff" is the new thing to do in English slang.

18, i think 2 was being sarcastic. i think 2 and 14 are expressing the same sentiment.
