One thing I would like to state:
The lawyer stories told in the blog, as I’ve said before, are based on experiences at a number of firms. Details, events, conversations and settings were changed for many reasons. Characters are caricaturized versions of people. To those pointing fingers at X or Y person saying “She was […]

“So, you came out of the blogger closet so to speak. Congrats. Any regrets? - J”
Ultimately, what’s done is done, no point in regretting it. The lawyer stampede isn’t spewing anything in my direction that wasn’t easy to anticipate. Though the fallout has had a few unexpected twists - somehow I doubt that, had I […]

Thank you to everyone who has called or written in the past 24 hours to offer well-wishes and support. I apologize for not responding individually, the numbers are overwhelming, but please know your thoughts are deeply appreciated.
As for the hate mail still flowing in, I’m thinking of starting a contest for the most colorful […]

Favorite Email of the day:
“You’re fucking pathetic. You didn’t go to a top 5 law school or even a top 5 college, and you were hardly an associate at a top 10 firm. Shut up and go back to your daddy, I’m sure he’ll dole out enough to keep you comfortably sucking up resources.

I’ve been receiving many requests to post a picture of him. One is now up in the “Cast of Characters” link on the Sidebar. His real name is David, he’s a creative executive at a Manhattan movie studio. And no, his father is not David Stern or any other sports-affiliated megamillionaire. Good grief.

Well, I said I wanted to quit being anonymous. Be careful what you wish for. But the point of the blog has always been cutting the bullshit and achieving self expression. So may as well get it over with: here’s all the dirty festering backstory that you won’t find in my nice marketable bio on […]

Hello everyone, welcome to the new site. If you’re having trouble navigating it, we’re still working out a few technical quirks. New posts, pictures etc. will be forthcoming - I’m still in the process of overcoming my technological incompetence and trying to figure out how this whole Wordpress thing works.
Thanks to all well-wishers who have […]

Well everyone, the time for a major change has come. Enough hints and conjectures, no more anonymous posting, hiding from partners or dodging emails threatening to get me fired. As of Wednesday, January 18, I’ll be moving the blog to my own brand new site, Opinionistas.com. It will have some fun new graphics, a free […]

Yes, I’m aware that Q&A Posts are rather high on the copout scale, but I still feel like someone shoved a blowtorch down my throat so the usual rantings will have to wait a few more days. Thus, today I give you answers to some recent reader questions.
Q: If your identity is revealed, will you […]

“Hi B! I know it’s been a while, I just wanted to say Happy New Year and congratulations!
“Hi O, thanks, nice to hear from you. Happy New Year to you too.”
“Wow, a new baby, that’s so fantastic. How is D liking his new little brother?”
“Well he’s taking some time adjusting. We’re in the middle […]
