may I inquire as to how the big law buckies are? Loved the latest chapter of can’t shake this superstition btw!
Eyyyyyyy thank you!!! Biglaw Buckies are chugging along, I’m hoping to wrap up the first draft soon! Looking short and sweet (much shorter and sweeter than CSTS !!!)
Gale’s gaze, unbidden, swept to the timekeeper program still running on his laptop screen. He still had to write narratives for all of the day’s time entries. Nothing made him want to drive a pencil into his eyeballs more than billing narratives. He hated describing to the client what he did on a file. Justifying his invoices. Carving his life out into six minute increments.
Recently, he had developed a compulsive and mildly concerning habit of keeping track of his entire life via billable hour. 2.3 hours for a training run. 0.7 hours for an awkward phone call to Neil Cleven on Father’s Day. 0.1 hours for throwing out the remains of the third untouched HelloFresh order in a row. Another 0.3 for cancelling HelloFresh (and why it took him eighteen minutes to cancel that useless subscription, he truly did not know). 5.8 for what passed as a full night of sleep. 0.8 for some pitiful Grindr swiping. 0.1 for jerking off and not fantasizing about Bucky’s ass in those golf pants he wore last Thursday.
Okay. Maybe that last one was more like 1.2 billable hours, if he counted cumulative fantasizing. It wasn’t his fault that Bucky practically paraded around the office in those stupid pants.
