@BarExamTutor I personally do mostly contingency work. The problem with flat fees is that there are so many ways the client can make things take longer, that there is a feeling that they need an incentive not to waste your time. Mixed fees can work, with an hourly rate plus a budget bonus.

@asymmetricinfo We made a deal that I would answer to his name of addressed that way and he would do the same. He thought nobody would ever call him Mr. Ryan. He was wrong and it's still hilarious.

@TheHost_ You should have thanked them for giving your sister $60k and for giving you $2k. "Spending $62000 on your children's weddings was remarkably generous."

@extrasalt513 Wouldn't notice, don't care. Never answer my phone.

@BobbyBorkIII Could we call it Bobby's Boat?

@asymmetricinfo was supposed to read "by the end of the month" and she did it.

@asymmetricinfo The problem with this country is that nobody teaches parents how to teach kids how to ride a bike. I just gave my kid a lightweight balance bike (no wheels). Took her to the store and told her if she taught herself to balance by I'd buy her one.

@gaughen For how many hours/minutes?

@MarcODeGirolami I also advise relying on commercial outlines rather than creating your own, unless creating your own is the only way you can memorize the rules. I knew folks who wasted a lot of time creating outlines instead of memorizing.

@CathyYoung63 @asymmetricinfo Not pretending that the religious beliefs of the ancient Greeks were similar to Christianity?

@IzzyDad2021 @BarExamTutor OMG how old are you? When I graduated in 1991 the people with that attitude were ancient. Do you think it's faster and better quality to write briefs out longhand or dictate them? By composing on a word processor I shorten the drafting process because of fewer drafts.

@charlescwcooke @realBobbyMil Going to grad school is often a crutch for people who can't succeed in the real world. Someone who operates a business is often brighter and nearly always understands the world better. The Ph.D. not a standard of excellence.

@LadyVoldemort09 @legalesnupi I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the judge sanctioned OC.

@daveweigel I encountered this once when a company asked me to draft a policy for them prohibiting dating within the company. I tried to talk them out of it. What do you do when two of your best employees start dating each other? Fire one?

[Franny Ryan @mfrancesryan]

@FreeRangeKids Those fires get very bad very quickly. Noticing them more quickly makes a big difference.

@H1storyMedia What is your IQ, my friend?

[Franny Ryan @mfrancesryan]

@Xyleniqq Nothing illegal about that at all.

[Franny Ryan @mfrancesryan]

@BarExamTutor It is not easy and the pay is terrible.

[Franny Ryan @mfrancesryan]

@Citibank Your toll free number service is awful. I just called to report getting a bill for a card I do not own and nobody could speak coherent English. They hung up on me.

@hiAndrewQuinn Jokes on you, my husband puts the dirty dishes directly into the cupboard because he's sick of me criticizing how he loads the dishwasher.
