That's because she knows her law firm has no intention of paying their bill.

So often we talk to some lawyer with a firm that is huge and they are working on a mega million dollar lawsuit and then they whine when we actually want to get PAID a fair price for what we do.

I suspect she will go far in her career. I hope she is as cute as she sounded. I would Google her to find out but I don't want to be a internet stalker.
If you put her name up here I am sure someone else would do it for you.

Yesterday we were told we had to split our clinicals software onto two servers, one with SQL and one with the application so I set it up and have been waiting most of the day for them to get working on it. I had all the prerequisites on this morning after they finally got them to us. I hate waiting on other people.

Para legal persons are paid employees. Lawyers are partners or people who want to be partner. Those two will always be looking to cut costs cause it comes out of their pockets.

Evening Y'all (and yes I really do talk like that)

Glen, if she sounds smoking, she isn't. Its the ones that sound like Rosie on the phone that are the hot ones.

The owner was in a mood today and he jumped on me about something that happened while I wasn't even on the property. I reminded him that we had discussed this before and lets get it under control, he walked off. Later he started yelling at me again and I informed him I was getting very close to decapitation him with an olive fork, he just said "yeah, right". I then reminded him that two weeks ago he never thought he would be set on fire either. It was a quiet afternoon.

That is all possible and likely. The law firm is an old established firm and they like the reputation of paying their bills promptly. They usually send a check within two weeks.

I have a friend who lives in Washington (out left) who is the exception to the rule, she is beautiful and her voice is one that could do subdued 900 numbers

Stijn!!

Rick, back when I was still living at home I had a girlfriend that could get a 90 year old preacher erect by reading the bible. She had they sexiest voice ever. Southern accent and she knew how to use it. My dad answered the phone and chatted with her for a minute before he called me to the phone. Dad called her "ol sexy voice" and mentioned her many years later. She was not a smoking hottie but she was an 10 to any man she talked to. Her first name was even a two name type name. Mary-Sue. No one called her just Mary or just Sue.

She taught me a lot.

Don't tell anyone but when my wife and I were dating I would get all twitterpated when I talked to her on the phone.

Actually, I still like to hear her voice on the phone. She's probably not a 10 in any world but mine but that isn't my problem.

Last person I talked to on the phone was Rick. Didn't do anything for me and that's a good thing cause he'd use me as a wheel stop on the big rig!

I think the real reason my wife married me was to shorten her last name. Went from 10 letters to 5.

Mrs Carrera married me because I look so much like George Clooney.

Yea, that's the ticket. George Clooney. Sure. True story. Yep.
