To answer your question — all attorneys spend much of their day wasting time. The Mormon ones come around here; the others go to ESPN.com.

Also, remember that law school trains people to write things quickly and somewhat coherently. I spend a lot less time here than one might think, given that most of my comments are fired off pretty quickly.

Finally, as a practicing attorney I avoided marketers like the plague. Even if I was doing nothing, I didn’t want to talk to a marketer. Sorry. It’s nothing personal, it’s just that my phone rang constantly with cold-calls, and I learned quickly to avoid them.

What do you market, anyway?

I am a legal marketer by day and fighting an attorney for a moment of his time that will result in time s/he cannot bill is often more then just a struggle, but a down right brawl. After lurking at T&S I often wonder what it is that Mormon attorneys do different from non-Mormon attorneys that afford them time to do so much more then lurk.

Or am I just a fool to believe that my attorneys are actually billing time when I am not forcing article revisions down their throats?

Didn’t the other children make fun of him?

“We named our firstborn in utero”

Wow, what a funny name to give a kid. Mr. In Utero Bushman.

I can see why calling him Utero (his middle name) could be a little strange. But I really don’t see how calling him In is really any better.

We named our firstborn in utero and had taken to calling him by his middle name. That lasted for a couple months, when it was already becoming a pain (what with insurance companies, drs offices, & etc. making things difficult as mentioned above). So we gave up and switched over to his first name. One of my sisters said he would have an identity crisis some day over it. Yeah, whatever.

at any rate, my bio-dad’s a nice guy and my boyfriend’s even nicer, but those aren’t good enough reasons for me to change my name.
