I'm sorry baby, it's just that sometimes, when you can't make it in on the weekend because you have your mother's funeral or something, I just get mad and lose control. But we've got a good thing; you know I love you. Right? Yeah, that's right. Perk up, it's gonna be okay. Now hey, what say you get back to that due diligence.

I like dogs but if I got one it would be cooped up in an apartment 10-12 hours a day depending on traffic/workload and that just seems bad Cats give fewer fucks

I've made it past 150 job applications since being laid off  Also, I heard through the grapevine I was beat out for the entry level foreclosure job by someone who had quit at my old firm, moved to california for an arranged marriage, and now moved back (no word on the marriage). I guess the faces of disgust I made when being told 'it's ok if you leave at 5, that's why we'll give you a work laptop' and 'well of course everyone needs to drive a 4+ hour drive each way pretty often' didn't help convey my enthusiasm towards capitalism.At this point I'm hoping trump wins, the economy crashes and I can join the trumpstaffel putting down civil insurrections (i.e. get a foreclosure job again)

I had a divorce consult with a stewardess today and I told her she should find someone rich to make her happy. She said that money didn't make her happy, fun did. I told her, quote, "The difference between me and you is I'm a whore. I'll do anything for money, and that if they had enough money, they could get me to whip my dick out and put it on the table and that she could either pay me to get divorced or to see my dick, because it cost the same amount." She gave me the money to get divorced. And then I thought about that statement most of the day and realized that showing my dick to someone for money is a lot less reprehensible than what lawyers normally do.

Carmen White executed a Texas Apartment Association (TAA) form lease. The most common apartment lease in Texas, used by I would reckon no less than 95% of all apartment complexes here. Section 12 of the lease provides, in pertinent part: DAMAGES AND REIMBURSEMENT. You must promptly pay or reimburse us for loss, damage, due to... or any other cause not due to [the landlord's] negligence or fault. Shortly after White moved into her apartment, she [5] received a new washer and dryer as a gift from her parents. ....Though the fire started in the dryer drum, the source of ignition is unknown. White was unable to extinguish the fire, and the ensuing casualty loss exceeded $83,000. Following the close of evidence, the jury found that White was not negligent, however the trial Court granted White's JNOV on the grounds that the reimbursement provision was ambiguous and against public policy. A divided court of appeals affirmed, holding the reimbursement Provision was not ambiguous, but was void as against public policy. 421 S.W.3d at 256, 258. Holding that "[C]ompetent parties in Texas 'shall have the utmost liberty of contracting.'" the Supreme Court of Texas overruled the Court of Appeals, and remanding consistent with the holding that White and the Apartment had the right to agree to shift responsibility for all repairs not directly caused by the landlord to the Tenant, and therefore White was liable for the $83,000.00. God Bless Texas. Edit: Phila. Indem. Ins. Co. v. White, 2016 Tex. LEXIS 373

If I had this dog I would constantly be like "LOOK AT YOUR FEET. THEY LOOK LIKE THEY NEED SOCKS. YOU'RE A DOG. WHERE IS YOUR FUR?" WhiskeyJuvenile posted:I... I don't follow. Some of my clients I laugh and joke with and tell them they need a rich husband the next time around and insinuate I handle divorces for lots of rich husbands. She said "I don't need money." I told her that as a lawyer, I will do literally anything for money, including put my dick on the table. I judged that I could say that to her because she had already talked about how one of her hobbies was going to Israel and picking up soldiers and how she loved asian dudes and loved to party and getting railed. In short, that client owned and I gave her a discount because I actually liked to talk with her. G-Mawwwwwww fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Jul 29, 2016 |

I interned for a county judge and the clerk told me about a bachelorette party she was at where they had a stripper. It must have been a wild party because at some point it game out that the stripper was an alum of my law school, apparently he thought he could make more money as a stripper than practicing law

The problem is that the lease provision is not actually negotiated. It's boilerplate in a trade-group promulgated form lease that literally every tenant in Texas, save the very rich and very poor, use.

The case is really about who should have to pay for the insurance. The uneducated consumer signing boilerplate or the landlord. It's dumb cause the defendant is just gonna file for bk, and the landlord's insurance will probably pay out for landlord. Why not just skip the bk?
