No. 305 Being Humble and the anonymousity of the Anonymous Lawyer

Being Humble or knowing when to use it. I play the humble game all the time, in fact, every day, especially at work, why, because I want them to feel sorry for me, to give me a better salary, to make me not do things I don't want to, to like me, it's a game and I know how to use it. Certainly I haven't quite mastered it for upgrades on airlines, but in most cases, when I'm humble or nice, and someone offers something to me-I take it, damn right, when people say, "no after you" or some random act of kindness-I take it, because there are two things that lead me to take it. 1. I can't waste anymore time saying "no after you," which ends in a no you, you first, no I mean you match. I can't handle it. 2. I take it because I say oh that is nice of them and I "pay it forward" and I only do so with old people though. 3. I think I deserve it, not to be rude or mean or anything, but I mean, I look like a person that deserves these niceties, while others sit and wallow when the door crashes into their face. It's just the way nature it, but speaking of humbleness, I know some people, mainly a specific group of people who aren't humble, who feel like they have to throw their money around, like they are the greatest thing on earth ever since spreadable butter without trans fat and omega-3. I look at those people and I say, i'm so glad you live here, because you haven't even see how people throw money around bitches. Throwing money around or no, wrong phrase, acting like you are rich, insanely rich, rich that makes your ability to do anything paramount to the normal people. They haven't seen rich yet, rich isn't your 2 carat or even the max of 5 carat ring. Rich isn't the fact that you drive a benz, wear a rolex, and sold your 2 million dollar house. Rich isn't the fact that you heard some restaurant who has a pre-set meal for 90 dollars. Rich isn't any of those things, not until you see people drive a Bentley sedan like it's an SUV, wear a patek philippe, sold a 50 million dollar house. RIch isn't the fact that you heard of a 90 dollar mean, 90 dollars covers 1/3 of your taxes, rich is when they close the restaurant for you or you eat in a private room, rich is when the chef comes out to greet you, rich is when on wine alone you dropped a cool 5,000. That's rich, and that's also class. Not that you have to spend a lot, but yes, so what if you are "semi well off" that doesn't make you above everyone, you're still lacking class, in fact you are crass. When someone asks you how many courses for 90 dollars, you don't know. COME ON MAN. You gloat about how your son bought you an ipod or a bag-gee, that was nice of him, but that's nothing to be shocked about. They sell ipods everywhere now adays even in grocery stories and aren't those monogram bags played out unless you got the new multicolor fringe bag...come on, bring your A. game, I have yet to see it. It amazes me that they think they are on top of the world, they aren't. Have they not seen a yacht pass 150 feet, have they not seen a helipad on top of someone's building, come on man, and no, knowing Jackie Chan, which you don't, or Bruce Lee, or any popstar makes you famous-I know them all or are semi-connected, I can get seats anytime any place for any major Asian concert-that isn't big, and I don't gloat about that. Damn right my milkshake is better than yours and the best part about it, bulgars will go to your house first before mine-why, because you tell everyone and anyone about how "wealthy" you are. You haven't seen anything yet honey.

I've been reading this blog, anonymous lawyer. I thought for sure, I mean, someone, but of course being naive. Anyways, the guy is good, and he's funny, and sometimes I mean reading his stuff, it makes me feel that I feel that way sometimes. Not in the sense that i'd sell my mother for a contingency if it meant I got one, but in a sense that sometimes being a lawyer is hard work, sometimes it is kind of annoying-like how you answer your blackberry every single minute of the day, but I mean, sometimes these people live for them, and it's not all people that do this. Not all people are mean heartless lawyers, some people are actually real. It's astonishing though that no one believes the sanctity of a lawyer, we're like the bottom rung. We're meeting one day I might be, but it doesn't matter, because I know i'll be a nice lawyer, so ha!

Also what is a relevation is that I am graduating yes. I think I might have a job. Hopefully. What I realized though is I go to a top 50 school. Yet, I always think i'm not going to get a job. Like I think all the good jobs or any job goes to the people in the Top 10 schools, then I realize, this can be right, other peopel go to college at less respectable universities and they do fine. I'll be ok. I don' tknow, it's weird, because I automatically think, you go to a bad school-you can't get a job, but that can't be true you know...so anyways, moral of the story, you don't have to go to a good school to get a job, it helps, but it's not entirely dependent on it. Also, in college, I realized that the ability to b.s. and articulate your b.s. will yield just a high of a grade as craming or studying all the stuff you got-some 60 pages of notes and jumbling it all onto a final...Thanks $60,000 worth of school-I appreciate what you have not taught me and have used my money to buy beakers for all your research departments...
