tales from the law office

so we had a client who was, justifiably, upset by the inherently slow nature of law. I get it, I understand her frustration, but it's also an inevitability. it's paperwork, it takes time, judges are busy people, yes your hearing really is scheduled for five months from now and that really was the soonest it could happen

but this client decided to attempt to take matters into their own hands. they call me and shout about how they don't even know why they paid a retainer, so they will just FILE their OWN FUCKING PAPERWORK themselves. I tell them to please not do that, the order has already been e-filed, do NOT run down to the court house and file your own

lo and behold, an hour later and I get an email from the e-filing portal that the client has attempted to file the paperwork a second time. and then a while after that, a call from the clerk's office themselves, to which I give them the client's contact information

ten minutes later, a sappy sweet call from the client about how we do such good work for them and they'll be soooooooooooooo patient and polite from now on haha pwease don't be mad

people pleasers PSA

I like sharing things and doing things for people but I do not like being taken advantage of and that is a very hard line to explain to people who do not realize when they are taking advantage of someone. that said it is still my responsibility to articulate when a boundary has been crossed and stand firm on my boundaries when people are rude to me. yeah and unfortunately this applies to everyone ever

The late 90’s is also the period we continue to be not really be fond of as there was a lot of bullshit present there that did not really lead anywhere nice. For instance, Limp Bizkit exemplify the worst tendencies of the this era, yet how much of that happened thanks to their persona being seen as a model to emulate instead of a warning? The tune on the link, for instance, tacked near the end of Significant Other proves they were well aware of the trap they set themselves in, though could they have done anything to counter the narrative they made? I assume they decided to go with what, because them being the epitome of the scene they were in meant their pivots could’ve been misunderstood despite them being able to achieve them.
