Ethics

[liadnan]

Apparently my profession requires I have ethics. Who knew?

So, after four hours of ludicrous and not so ludicrous problems (in my very first trial my client departed drastically from the evidence in his witness statement when in the box and I had very little idea what to do) we all went and got drunk and exchanged gossip. What fun. Hah. I always swore I would abjure socialising with lawyers - far too easy to be drawn into a tiny little world. Though the unfavourable opinions of one of the QCs from the set where I did my first six [trained, basically] of the subsequent absorption merger of that set into a mega-set were quite interesting.

Now I am too drunk to cook. Heigh ho. When my liver fails I shall blame Continuing Professional Development.

duder, lawyers are fit, hyper intelligent and sporty.
and, errr, polish.

polish.

You clean your shoes with lawyers?

[liadnan]

I think you are in fact deluded, middear. I am not remotely sporty, nor am I polish.

You need an emergency supply of Jaffa cakes for times like these.

The offer is still open to cook for books BTW!

Look on the bright side - at least the booze is tax-deductible if it's used for professional development purposes rather than just boring old entertaining, right?

Not that you're jealous nor nuffink...

Ah, so *that's* why I ran into you today...

Oh, heavens! Stupid client, that one. I thought *everyone* knew not to do that. Sympathies.

And think about the cooking for books offer...you can always read them before using them as payment...
