Re: The Bad News Thread
 

back to the lesson in warpath psychology, i think we can see that bad news brings confrontation then comedy followed by logical analysis. Good news gets a round of hearty good cheers. No wonder bad news sells. More clicks here.

[quote=JoeRedskin;1066325]At the same time, if they are willing to exert the time and money to chase you down, they likely could force [I]you[/I] to spend time and money defending their charges. Truthfully, had you not posted the picture and just gone with the pronouns and descriptions, I would have said "No problem". Again, even with the picture, not likely to result in anything, [U][B][I]BUT[/I][/B][/U], if they have the right kind of crazy, have money to burn, and just want to make your life sh** for a bit, well, the pictures let them do that - even if you ultimately prevail.

When it comes to posting the pictures, if it were me, I wouldn't do it and I would recommend to any client of mine not to do so. I get where you coming from, really, I do (Just look at some of my posts in the Gear Grinding thread). I just think you may have let your frustrations get the better of your judgment. [/quote]


I think I simply don't give a fuck at this stage so me and my co-workers turn it into humor at this point. We know nothing is going to change as long as the primary enabler stays around. Besides, knowing the stuff I have over the people above me gives me quite a bit of leverage to not give a fuck and probably why I posted them to begin with. If I felt I had anything really to lose, I probably wouldn't have posted it. The guy in question doesn't have money, and he knows the stuff I've said is right and can be proven. When it comes down to it, you better know your opponents hand before you go all in and turn your cards up. Overall, the advice is sound and most people would do well to take heed to it. Thank you for the breakdown and the advice JR. A beer has been earned my good man. That's two I owe you now.

Wow its scary how much the bad news thread resembles the gameday threads. Confrontation - comedy - logical analysis.

Hope there arent too many casualties. I read "multiple" deaths but that is a pretty broad statement.

Please use the brown font for sarcasm, it can be difficult to detect in a sterile line of text.

edit - i thought i was being funny, how could a flat screen i phone have braille but apparently some kinda smart person figured out an app for that.

just amazing stuff ... even when i try to be funny, i end up being super funny and super smart at the same time.

They don't pay you enough Joe. Let those other bums handle it.

Re: The Bad News Thread
 

True. They don't pay me enough, but this is $30M lawsuit against my favorite client and opposing side is particularly dislikable - both client and attorney. Atty is a know-it-all-prick who is smart but not as smart as he thinks and client is a despicable human being who feeds off the adoration of students and then ... well, let's just leave it at he's despicable and not worth the water in my spit. Maybe the lead in my shotgun.

Trial starts next Monday and may run into following week. I am entering beast mode. I may lose, but it won't be because I got outworked.

Re: The Bad News Thread
 

Had yet another flair up of my herniated disc during the week of my move. Been dealing with this crap off and on for 10+ years and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

That sucks man. A healthy back is something I take for granted. I dont ever want to join the ranks of the unhealthy ones. Hope it flairs back down soon and stays that way! Atleast the bad news thread got a hit. Which is never a good thing. :(

Here's a good one. On vacation at Disney with the family. Driving back from Animal Kingdom a guy pulls out in front of us while chugging along about 45mph in our less than a year old Odyssey. Totaled. Awesome. Everyone us ok but I sat on the side of a fla state highway for 5 hours waiting for highway patrol. Not winning.

Damn, I feel your pain. I was on the side of the road on 95 south a couple months ago around the GA/Florida border with a car issue. Turned out to be a easy fix for me.

But thank god you and your fam ok. But that part of the interstate sux, alot of fenced in sections with not alot of exits and people in Florida are shitty drivers.

Re: The Bad News Thread
 

finally got an eye exam but the doctor felt that it was socially acceptable for him to press his boys up against my knee while he was doing an exam.

wtf.

there had to be some way of him achieving his goal of conducting the exam that did not require his boys to be pressed forcefully up against my effing knee cap.
