[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know plenty of lawyers in government.

I see them rooting through the trash in the hallways, trying to find a few crumbs of a munchkin or a half-eaten burger they can gnaw on to quieten the hunger pangs, if only for a few mintures.

I see them going from door-to-door with their kids, trying to hire them out to clean chimneys or drains.

I see them in Costco buying jumbo boxes of husky trash-bags so their wives will finally have something to cover their nakedness.

But above all, I see them gathered in Farragut Square at lunchtime, staring longingly down K Street towards the offices of those in BigLaw, dreaming of the life they could have had, standing up in a hot-tub full of vintage Dom Perignon urinating on a team of associates, who cry out with gratitude at the golden shower with which the partner has blessed them.[/quote]

Stay away from the brown acid, people.

One of my best friends is the partner who just told all those associates they're out the door next month and will be independent contractors if they want to stay.  I know very few upper level govt. lawyers who are good, who dream of life in BigLaw, it's our/their BigLaw friends who wish they could get off the hamster wheel.
