[Left Is Write]

1. Okay...why?

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

3. Its a work function. First I wasn't invited

Then the top lawyer wasn't going, so the client backed out. Yesterday, I got put on the list to just fill the pre-paid seat. Then, I got a phone call last night saying the client was going to go, so I was off the list. Finally, today at 5:30, I was told the client now isnt coming now so I can join.

meh, fuck it. I had a shitty day and dont need to spend more time with these people

:hi:
