[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You keep saying she’s “normal” with the implication that continuing in her highly successful and lucratively compensated long-term position is abnormal behavior

Your fixation on her and bringing this question to an anonymous message board rather than simply asking your friend doesn’t seem “normal” [/quote]

As usual, it didn't take long for another DCUM thread to deteriorate into nastiness and insults by an obviously unhappy person.

I'm not "fixated" on her by a long shot.  And as I said, we WILL ask her.  The conversation that led me to post this on this anonymous forum just happened the other day, and we haven't seen her yet.  I posted it only because I thought it raised what might be a generally interesting topic for the forum.  If you disagree, skip to the next thread and move on.

Having said all that, yes, I do find it abnormal that a smart, healthy, pretty, happily married, fun, pleasant, childless and non-extravagant woman in her mid 40s who already has millions of dollars banked would continue to slog away 12 hours a day during the week and sometimes weekends (as I know she does) for Biglaw.

Talk about nastiness.  You are really the most annoying DCUM poster…you post an idiotic thread and then you constantly post snarky comments when you literally asked people to comment.

Go ask your stupid friend and report back…after that just go away.[/quote]

Ok, thanks.  In the meantime, help me out by first showing me where I was snarky beyond responding to this snark.  Then explain why you are choosing to participate in an "idiotic" thread.

Stupid is as stupid does, I guess.  [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont get it either.  If she's that good which I assume she is surely she can service half of her clients or whatever % and work less hard be it at her current firm or another firm. She would have the same engaging work, just not as much of it, that seems like the winning play to me if you dont need the money.

My bet is things aren't good at home and she is avoiding it.[/quote]

You'd be wrong.  Things are fine by all appearances on the home front.  We've socialized with her and the husband.  Again, no kids.

I get liking the money.  I liked the money.  But clearly she now has plenty.[/quote]

I thought this was snarky [/quote]

It wasn't meant to be.  I was just stating a fact.  [/quote]
