And this is why the world needs more cyber-lawyers.

yeah, we Law Talking Guys aren't quite known for our computer prowess. the longer i'm in this profession the clearer it becomes that its reputation for stodginess is well-deserved...and the more that pisses me off.

Nothing in human history has ever inspired change quite like being really pissed off.

Beavis: Dammit! This always happens! I think I'm gonna score, and then I never score! It's not fair! We traveled um, a mil-... a hundred miles, just because we thought we were gonna score! But now it's not gonna happen! Dammit!
Bus Driver: Hey, buddy! Sit down!
Beavis: Shut up, asswipe! I'm sick and tired of this! We're never gonna score! We're probably gonna get old like these people, but they've probably scored!
Bus Driver: Hey! I'm warning you! Sit down!
Beavis: [motioning to Martha] It's like this chick's a slut... and look at this guy! He's old, but he's probably scored a million times...!
Old Guy: [nodding] Oh, yeah.
Beavis: But not us! We're never gonna score! We're never gonna score! We're never gonna score!

Congratulations, and you're going on speed dial under "So Eric, you finally snapped."

[faceless-wonder.livejournal.com]

hahaha...although, if you snap, i think you need a psychiatrist a little more urgently than you need a lawyer. :)

Did I ever mention I got kicked out of a psychiatric study once? True story.

I was doing some tests for someone's grad project so I could get extra-credit in a Psych class, and when we got done I asked the woman why she was trying to correlate schizophrenia and manic-depression in non-clinical populations. She looked at me like I'd totally BLOWN HER MIND.

This was not, by the way, a great leap of logic. When she's asking questions like if you hear voices from the television when it's turned off, do you lay in bed and not get up certain days to the extent you just pee in a jar, and do you sometimes find yourself having incredible bursts of energy and taking on huge projects, it's not hard to pick up on this stuff when you're in an abnormal psych class at the time.

Anyway, heard in a roundabout way my results got thrown out, since I was apparently on to her the entire time and that might have affected my answers. But I'm kind of proud to actually have gotten kicked out of a psychological study.
