Full service indeed.

And I'm sure this is based on your attention to detail, and strong work ethic.

Jesus, your killing my shirts. I like Pink stuff because I just like it, and I also liked the idea of it being subtly anti-lawyer. Now I feel like a lemming.

I get the former, but that latter is just obscene. No woman alive knows how to give a proper hand job.

how can people not like you? I find your posts thought provoking and even Flower, the toughest to win over, came out today as your friend.

But oddly, people here seemed bothered by you, and now this. when I was an associate I would give $1000 to assistants. I personally know partners gave $5000 or so.

Are you at some discount firm?

Have your performance reviews been good?

Take heart. Walk around in Manhattan, and you'll experience at least a mild chance of stick-fucking.

You gave 1K individually, in a card, [you yourself individually, not combined with pooled with another associate] not the firm bonus?

No I am at BIGLAW. No, my performance and reviews are glowing. Damn, Hank you are generous. good for you.

All true. In fact, the card holding the money was actually made out of more money. But then again Hank lights his cigars with $100 bills and craps bigger'n you in a golden toilet, so he's not the standard you should be thinking about with questions like this.

Coach

Coach rolled out its fall line, in stores today I think I may buy a satchel. Leather, not signature.
