Typical Day For First Year Litigation Associate
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 1st, 2006 7:42 PM Author: Godawful Aphrodisiac Church Building 7:00 - wake up, jack off, shower, jack off again
7:50 - Buy bagel and coffee from cafe; dream of fucking the somewhat cute cashier girl who must wonder why I look so sad and depressed every morning
8:00 - Go into office, try not to look at old, fat, ugly, bitchy associate whose office I have to pass. God she is dumb too. Wonder what I have done in my life to deserve to work with such a stupid bitch.
8:01 - Log onto system. Check nytimes.com and stock market. Check two dozen useless e-mails, most of them from dumb ass junior female associates on the other coast who are stupid enough to send out email questions to the entire fucking firm rather than research it themselves. Wonder why it is that female associates send 90% of the dumbass e-mail questions.
8:20 - Start dreaming about fucking a hot bitch; will continue for most of morning. Wish I could close my office door and jack off.
8:30 - Start working on actual billable stuff even though I've been billing the client for my dreaming and surfing. Close door to keep out sounds of annoying fat ass secretaries. Wonder why anyone would want to waste their life being a legal secretary.
Until noon - Continue working on whatever, hoping not to be called by any other attorneys asking for help. If busy actually try to finish shit. If not busy try to waste time so I can bill more on the project and fuck over the client.
Noon - go out of office, walk down street hoping to see some hot bitches since all I see are ugly fat bitches in the office. Buy a sandwich, come back to office and eat it alone checking nytimes and billing client for the time
Afternoon - fat ass stupid bitch secretary comes into office for third time. Asks stupid ass question; wastes my time; I pretend to be nice even though I wish she were dead. Wonder why secretary can't write a cover letter without having to ask me a question. Wonder why I can't have a 22 year old hot secretary instead of a 60 year old haggy fat bitch.
4:00 - asshole senior partner calls me with "emergency" assigment that must be completed by tomorrow morning. I know fucking ass partner will come into my office tomorrow morning so I actually feel like I have to work on it. Wonder why this partner always calls me after 4 and always needs an answer within 18 hours. Dream of shooting him.
8:00 - somewhat finish assignment. E-mail partner with answer and hope he won't ask follow up questions even though I know he will. Input my hours into the firm's billing system. Try to double bill as much as I can. Try to "estimate" my time, being fair to myself of course.
8:15 - leave office, take taxi home that firm pays for. Buy some Indian or Thai food. Get home, surf net for porn. Jack off two or three times. Take hot bath. Jack off. Go to sleep dreaming of fucking hot bitch.
Repeat next day.

Date: July 1st, 2006 8:10 PM Author: Wine Piazza Electric Furnace well it sounds to me like you desperately need to get some pussy, and you arent interacting with much outside the office. so unless you want to fuck one of the nasty fat bitches you are stuck with all day in the office, you need to come up with a clever way to hit on this chick.

Date: July 1st, 2006 8:12 PM Author: Godawful Aphrodisiac Church Building I know. Part of my problem is that I have high standards, even though I shouldn't. I want to fuck the cafe girl, but whatever. It never will happen - I'm a pussy.
My goal in life is to make over 2 million by 40 and then retire early and go to Brazil or Thailand or someplace and fuck hot ass girls all day until I die. |
|
Date: July 1st, 2006 8:14 PM Author: Wine Piazza Electric Furnace well at your current rate, it doesnt sound like you will be fucking much of anything no matter where you are.
unless of course tehy are brazilian or thai prostitutes, where you dont have to attract them before you stick them |

Date: July 1st, 2006 8:17 PM Author: Godawful Aphrodisiac Church Building Duh. You think I would move to Thailand or Brazil to fuck a non-hooker? I mean whatever. All girls in those countries are hookers. I figure I'll just find a hot Brazilian bitch who maybe fucks guy for money on the side and then make her my temporary GF and keep her till I get bored and then get a new one.
I mean it's not PC to say this but that's every guys dream. I see these fucking guys over 40 working themselves to death so their whore daughter can shop Versace and their ugly ass wife can get plastic surgery and I just wonder. Most guys would be happier fucking lots of young girls in an exotic location. That is my goal in life. |

Date: July 1st, 2006 7:57 PM Author: Godawful Aphrodisiac Church Building M thru Thurs I work until around 8. Sometimes I've leave around 7:30 if I don't have a ton of work. Occassionally I'll stay to 8:30 but usually not past that. Sometimes I came into the office earlier, like around 7.
On Friday I leave by 7, sometimes earlier. I get nothing done on Fridays.
I'll probably bill 2000, maybe 2100 hours this year. I don't understand how anyone can bill more without going crazy. When I hear of people billing 2400 or even 3500 (Watchell partner) then I want to kill myself. |

|
Date: July 1st, 2006 8:06 PM Author: Godawful Aphrodisiac Church Building Even when I work 12 hours I only manage to bill 9-10 hours. Even though I have no ethics and don't give a shit about a client's expenses, I still don't bill the full 12 hours because I figure the partners would figure out eventually.
Once you factor into Fridays - when I jack off and only bill maybe 6 hours and then you add holidays, the occassional slow day/week, a one/two week vacation in August and CLE, training bullshit then you only can bill 2100 hours tops working 12 hours a day. |
|
Date: July 1st, 2006 8:10 PM Author: Transparent Alcoholic Locus Karate What are you doing for the other 2-3 hours during the day? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=446186&forum_id=2#6119580) |
|
Date: July 1st, 2006 8:14 PM Author: Godawful Aphrodisiac Church Building I have to factor in time I take to go take a dump in the bathroom, pick up lunch, talk to fat ass stupid bitch secretary, time to talk to fat ass bitch associates, and other shit.
Generally, ppl say you should only bill 80% of your time in the office. If I stay 12 hours, 80% is like 9.6 hours. |
|
Date: July 1st, 2006 8:17 PM Author: Transparent Alcoholic Locus Karate You spend 3 hours per day going to the bathroom and talking to people? I don't know who says you are supposed to bill 80%, but I can see no reason why that would be the case. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=446186&forum_id=2#6119639) |
|
Date: July 1st, 2006 8:19 PM Author: Godawful Aphrodisiac Church Building Ethically you should only bill 80% Hell, there are some people who say ethically you should only bill 2/3rds.
80% is fair. Even when you are working you're writing non-work e-mails. You're checking websites. You're staring out the window. I mean if I bill 10.25 for being in the office 12 hours, that's a very fair ratio so whatever. |
|

Date: July 1st, 2006 8:30 PM Author: Transparent Alcoholic Locus Karate Well, obviously I am not including lunch. But, looking out the window? Nobody expects you to be a robot. Obviously, there will be a few distractions during the day. It is not like you need to dock yourself time because at some point you may have taken 30 seconds to look out the window or spent a minute talking to someone who happened to stop by the office. I also don't bill someone for the time that I am sitting at home watching tv and happen to think about some argument to make. I am sure it evens out, probably in their favor.

7:00 - wake up, jack off, shower, jack off again
7:50 - Buy bagel and coffee from cafe; dream of fucking the somewhat cute cashier girl who must wonder why I look so sad and depressed every morning
8:00 - Go into office, try not to look at old, fat, ugly, bitchy associate whose office I have to pass. God she is dumb too. Wonder what I have done in my life to deserve to work with such a stupid bitch.
8:01 - Log onto system. Check nytimes.com and stock market. Check two dozen useless e-mails, most of them from dumb ass junior female associates on the other coast who are stupid enough to send out email questions to the entire fucking firm rather than research it themselves. Wonder why it is that female associates send 90% of the dumbass e-mail questions.
8:20 - Start dreaming about fucking a hot bitch; will continue for most of morning. Wish I could close my office door and jack off.
8:30 - Start working on actual billable stuff even though I've been billing the client for my dreaming and surfing. Close door to keep out sounds of annoying fat ass secretaries. Wonder why anyone would want to waste their life being a legal secretary.
Until noon - Continue working on whatever, hoping not to be called by any other attorneys asking for help. If busy actually try to finish shit. If not busy try to waste time so I can bill more on the project and fuck over the client.
Noon - go out of office, walk down street hoping to see some hot bitches since all I see are ugly fat bitches in the office. Buy a sandwich, come back to office and eat it alone checking nytimes and billing client for the time
Afternoon - fat ass stupid bitch secretary comes into office for third time. Asks stupid ass question; wastes my time; I pretend to be nice even though I wish she were dead. Wonder why secretary can't write a cover letter without having to ask me a question. Wonder why I can't have a 22 year old hot secretary instead of a 60 year old haggy fat bitch.
4:00 - asshole senior partner calls me with "emergency" assigment that must be completed by tomorrow morning. I know fucking ass partner will come into my office tomorrow morning so I actually feel like I have to work on it. Wonder why this partner always calls me after 4 and always needs an answer within 18 hours. Dream of shooting him.
8:00 - somewhat finish assignment. E-mail partner with answer and hope he won't ask follow up questions even though I know he will. Input my hours into the firm's billing system. Try to double bill as much as I can. Try to "estimate" my time, being fair to myself of course.
8:15 - leave office, take taxi home that firm pays for. Buy some Indian or Thai food. Get home, surf net for porn. Jack off two or three times. Take hot bath. Jack off. Go to sleep dreaming of fucking hot bitch.
Repeat next day.

I go in at 9:30 usually and when I have court appearances (anywhere from 5-8x/month), I can take a nice long lunch and bill it to the client.
I don't know how you aren't efficient. Working 8 to 8 is a nice 10 hr billable day at least. I worked from 9-6 and have 9 hrs on my billing sheet, even if I took 1 hr for lunch and 45 min daydreaming or talking to people. You simply pad ceertain tasks (ie writing a letter, .4, reviewing a file in prep for letter, 1.7, dictating letter, .3, reviewing another file to ascertain status, 2.1 and so on..
If you know how to bill creatively, you wouldn't be sitting at your desk at 7:30 each night wondering how to plug in those required 8-10 hrs.

When you're a first year it sorta sucks going anywhere. You end up sitting around at a hearing or mediation all day taking notes and dreaming of being able to masturbate.
Anyone who has sat through a fucking mediation knows how boring that shit gets. It sucks and then you have to talk to the fucking clients - most of whom are ugly white motherfuckers who are too lazy to do big law.

(1) You are a summer associate, noone else refers to someone as a "mentor"
(2)Since you are a summer associate, you aren't defending depositions. |

Date: July 2nd, 2006 8:59 AM Author: low-t iridescent public bath boltzmann Sorry, I guess I just assumed that anyone who is a big enough fag to refer to some partner as his "mentor" on a consistent basis has to be a summer associate.

Date: July 2nd, 2006 8:58 AM Author: low-t iridescent public bath boltzmann Here is yet another version:
6:15- wake up, try to shake off mild hangover, shower, jerk off, dress.
8:00 arrive in office, take excederin, check email, check xoxo.
8:20- continue brief that was assigned yesterday, and is inexplicably due tonight even though it doesnt have to be filed for two weeks.
12:30- give brief to secretary to format, resist the urge to smack the bitch when she bitches about being too busy while she is sitting there looking at her friend's wedding pictures.
12:35-decide if you want to round up some people for lunch, decide against it and order sandwhich.
1:00- conference call with parnter and client. Sit there in disbelief as parnter spouts utter bullshit that is contrary to the law and facts to clientin order to make the client think he is going to win. write partner note indicating that he is wrong, watch partner backtrack and eventually tell client something resembling reality.
1:50- return to office, listen as another partner comes by and asks how the brief is coming, tell him he will have it tonight, resist urge to shoot motherfucker. resume working on brief.
4:45-get brief to secretary with changes, pretend to be friendly and sympathetic when she bitches about having to do changes so close to going home. return to office hoping hse gets raped on the way to the parking lot.
5:30- get brief back, give to paralegal to bluebook. Thank God that he comes in at like noon and so has no problem doing work at 5:30.
5:45- check email, see that you have two new assignements and inexplicably, a strategy session with a lit team on another case you are on at 6:30. Begin research for yet another case.
6:30- attend strategy session. get more assingnments, all of which are due in the next two weeks, resist urge to shoot self.
7:45- send brief to partner. get his email back that says he will review it three days from now. resist urge to shoothim and then yourself.
7:50- bullshit with some other associate.
8:00- finish research and begin outlining new brief. consider being greatful that most doc review goes to the contract attorneys, and hey thats something.
9:15- shut down computer in disgust. get in car, go home, pick up dinner. kiss wife, wonder if she is banging co-worker, lawn guy, black mailman. drink alcohol to numb the pain, decide that wife's potential infidelity is unlikely at this juncture.
11:00- pass out. |

EDIT: The real route would be to grow some fucking balls and open up a plaintiffs shop.
However, that requires a way to subsist without income for a year or so. |
