STFU already!

[AngID]

We got a letter from another attorney, Pat, with his calculations of what interest should be on a client's personal injury claim. Scott told me to send a letter to the Judge in the case agreeing with the figures in Pat's letter. Easy, peazy, right?
The interest is calculated at a daily rate of $12.33.
I asked Scott what date he wanted the interest calculated through (today's date or the date they issue the checks).
He sat down at my desk and picked this letter apart, piece by piece, for 20 minutes with me. By the time he over-complicated the whole darn thing, I wasn't sure what the hell he wanted.
Glad it's golf day. Hope he gets hit by lightening. (J/K) LOL

Sad to say, I'd put my a-hole, micromanaging boss up against your a-hole, micromanaging boss any day...maybe we should get together and vent to each other. It's hard to make someone who's not around him on a daily basis understand what a jerk my boss really is.

but this is why he gets paid the big bucks, which in turn pays you.

Re: STFU already!

I gotta agree with Stella on this one... You have to put up with all the s*it, to pay your bills.

Re: STFU already!

There's nothing worse than a boss that micromanages. I've quit jobs like that. Just tell me what to do and I'll tell you when I'm finished!

Be strong and just think: Someday you'll be retired!

After 18 years together, I usually know what he thinks, and needs, before he does.
He's a lawyer, he over-analyzes everything and talks in gibberish when he gets obsessed with something.
I'll talk to a client:
Insurance company offered $ to settle your claim
We pay back your meds in the amount of $
Atty fees in the amount of $
Out of pocket costs in the amount of $
And you take home $
Accept offer, or no?

Scott takes them back to the conference room to "explain" a deal to them and they come out with a blank, dazed look on their face. I usually hand them a letter "confirming our conversation" as outlined above and they "get it" and look at me like, "Why didn't he just *say* that?"

I don't know if it's a "man" thing or a "lawyer" thing. Or if he just likes to hear himself talk. *laughing*

Re: STFU already!

after 18 years together you didn't know he'd pick the letter apart? lol

it's a lawyer thing, it's what they do. they have to be legal in everything they do.
