LawTalkers - It was the wrong thread

In 20/20 hindsight, knowing now that you would do that for me, my best decision was fully enjoying the moments with your wife and not worrying about the latex barriers. :D

that was my "joke." it's at moments like this that i fear you are not penske- penske don't (didn't) whiff:(:(:(:(:

Working on the corner office. GC/EVP. Still a tier down. Otoh, assuming things go as planned in the short term, I can find new space in a new geographic region and just call it a regional office. Right now, the main ops are in your back yard, so beware.........:eek::eek::eek:

Re: It was the wrong thread

So, as part of my victoury lap around the corner office currently (and over the next several weeks) I decided to catalogue my productivity. Over 18,000 billables over the last almost 8 years, averaging over 2300 billables/year (with an average of another approx 600/year in administrative/management non-billable time).

I have made people other than me over $4M in net profits (per the P&L) in that time.

In fairness I feel they should let me take the bidet as a parting token.

Thoughts?

Yes, it's bolted. Back when I was a senior associate I had a portable one that I bought myself, but, when I made partner and got the corner office they installed a permanent one for me. Fixture?

Aren't they installed like a standard commode? You pull off the caps and the nuts are usually just a bit more than hand-tight. Remove and lift off. Just be sure to do the next guy a favor and plug the drain line.

I know firms are cutting back, but if I'm awarded a corner office, I would expect all personal plumbing items would be replaced with new. I expect Penske just needs to check the dumpster each night for the next few weeks.

On a similar note, given that there are no bolts involved, should I just take the 14K gold plated stand alone toilet paper holder stand (like the below except 14K gold plated)?

You know I love you, but its crude plays like that one that keep you out of the corner office. I'd sooner wear an adult diaper with a pair of man-spanx over them than use my hand. Wordtothewise, iykwimaiptyd.
