Stankowski Reports

A first-year associate provides periodic updates on his life at the firm. My favorite quote:

However, contrary to the old saying, when you ask me if I have finished that 20 page brief that you assigned me ten minutes ago, and I say (in my most nonchalant of voices) "Well, no," and then you yell at me and curse a lot, I am not really "being cut down to size." This is easily demonstrated when I stand up to follow you down the hall as you continue to yell. I am still much taller than you. Also, it is not an insult to tell me that I am "lazier than a bean-picking Mexican." I have seen Mexicans pick beans. They work really hard.
