Wastes of my time

As I've said about a thousand times, law is just pompous jerks sending bloviated letters back forth.  No matter how much I want to dump this case where I have to represent the boss's brother it keeps getting thrown back in my lap.  Nothing is more aggravating than having to respond to opposing counsel in a case you could not care less about.  I get a fax today from a solo practitioner whining about how our discovery was not in his hand yesterday and that if we don't provide it tomorrow he will go in ex parte on thursday.  What a waste of my god damn time.  Not only is the asshole so fucking wrong it makes my head hurt, but then I have to go back and find the Civil Procedure code that tells him he's wrong.  I throw in some insults and send it on the way.

On another note, nothing is a kick in the balls like finding out your boss deleted one of your billing entries and put his name in your place.  Nothing says damn this sucks like knowing that part of your billing hours and your hard work is being replaced by someone else.  Does this happen at other firms? Probably not
