Isn't this the precise theme of the discussion on the FB?

What is the business of San Diego? Nice city with great weather, and the usual assortment of businesses, banks, and whatnot, but I've never thought it to be a hub of anything except the Navy and the first weigh-station for Mexican immigrants heading north.
Who knows these days. I would not go there for a change of jobs if you're in the legal community. The demise of Brobeck put a lot of lawyers out onto the street - a street already full of unemployed lawyers. Some got picked up; many didn't.

Remember, if you're going to do law out there, you're going to have to take the California bar - all three days of it.

Wow. I heart you too. You know, burgiekins, under your iron rule in the old joint, you never would have allowed such blatant flirting with me to happen. Is this the softer side of Burger?

Somebody get me off this board and onto my work. Venus just lost a set and is stuggling to hold.

That was S_A_M. I allowed it to happen, at least for a while.

Besides, the rules are different when you're flirting avec moi.:wink:

Oh cruel twist of fate indeed, to be slandered so!

_Maverich_ was the anti-flirt, on-topic police. He once publicly described my philosophy, with great exasperation, as "Say whatever you like as long as you're polite to each other."

(DC_Chef of blessed memeroy also had a habit of deleting off-topic posts, back in the days when raises were flowing and on-topic news abounded. ::Sigh.:

Bar Hopping and Quality of Life

I guess the ultimate answer for doing work you love in a locale you love is to find a niche specialty that you can practice wherever you'd like. For example, I know an IP lawyer who is a skiing fanatic, and he wouldn't live anywhere warm if you paid him big $$$. He set up shop in a ski resort along the Rockies, operating his legal practice out of his house.

The problem is that most of us don't have the vision, the discipline, and the balls to go solo and *take* the life we want.

There are certain niches where this works well. I could see a trust and estate lawyer doing something like that. But big-firm lit and corporate practice doesn't always lend itself to such accomodating practice locales.

They towed it to the other side of the street?!! Here in Beantown, the owner would spend several hours trying to figure out which tow lot it was in. They might be on to something with the reference to Texas plates.

That would serve 'em right, though.

The tow cops here often tow cars to other side streets where there's space available. Partiuclarly when the president is coming to a location, they just tow all the cars whereever they can. A bunch of people then have to go find them.

Puh-lease! Try thinking outside the box just once. Of course big firm lit and corporate practice "doesn't always lend itself to such accomodating practice locales." But if you think the practice worth having is the quote big firm lit and corporate end quote, you are destined to a life of mind-numbing, box-bitching, minder and grinder days.

Most of us who are any good eventually become specialists. That's called having a niche practice. And having a niche means people consult you because you know something that others don't. They don't give a rat's ass where you're sitting when they call.

But if you haven't yet figured out how to forward calls to your cell phone, or use IM for any reason other than to avoid yelling through the door at your secretary, you may need to stay tied to that desk a bit longer.

Besides, you think the rain making partner that brings in that big firm lit and corporate work is sitting in some office 12 hours a day working "collaboratively" to crank out briefs and proxy statements. No 'em's out schmoozing on the golf course, or the slopes, or the bay, or 'em's on a plane to Europe or Bahrain getting a pitch ready.

If I thought I had to sit in a downtown DC lawfirm in order to practice my "profession," and that was the best I could do, I'd shoot myself before another minute passed.

(not looking for a gun, thank you very much).

No, that's precisely the type of practice I don't think it's worth having, for those very reasons.

Your time away seems to have warmed your soul.
