Open Foot, Insert Mouth
So, the other day I'm talking to a (female) GA about our case that's going to trial next month, and I'm bitching about all the bullshit we need to get done (list your contentions of fact and law. Now list your exhibits. Now list them again, in different order. And so forth.)
Eventually we figure out that we had a couple of extra weeks to do some of this, but rather than take that time I decided -- let's just get it over with. That will let us focus on the stuff that really matters, like witness exams and jury instructions.
Unfortunately, I went on to add "I'm sick of all the damned foreplay, I want to get to the stuff that actually matters." After a brief hush fell over the room, I bravely added "That's not to say that the foreplay doesn't matter, I mean."
So, here's my question: Could I get sued for that? Are there any other potential negative repercussions?
Note: It's unlikely that I would be nailing this particular GA anytime soon, for a variety of reasons, some of which are significant. So I'm not so worried about having torpedoed my chances of that. (Or is "thinks foreplay doesn't matter" a positive reference these days? I've been out of things for awhile...)
