I'd never do that.

I only watch anime on their PCs.

People who don't have to upload their billable hours on a software are really really lucky. I envy them.

I'm forced to upload at least 7 hours a day so I don't have much time for slacking off :p

You're from Bolivia right? Do you go to court in a lot of cases or will you usually settle? I'm asking because the culture here in Belgium is very different than in the States for example. We go to court in the vast majority of cases (this is because lawyers are not as ridiculously expensive over here and also because the trial itself is much more simple here - no juries or anything).

The big benefit of this is that my firm for example doesn't even have to work with billable hours (though we sometimes do). We can justify our fees with what we do in court.

Yes, I'm from Bolivia but I don't litigate. I advise mostly on corporate and commercial matters as well as labor law.

But yeah, people go to court a lot here and most of these works are not charged by hours.

Shut up. You are such an entitled spoilt little brat. Your annoying whining over the most insignificant things is pathetic and makes you look like an incredible ill-mannered manchild . Did your parents not give you enough attention and love, but instead passed that job to the maids? Man up and do your fuckin job, and stop craving attention for these fake "my life is tough"-situations.

If not go get some blue-collar experience, shit face.
I ain't even complaining or trying to make my life seem tough.

Talk about being a whiny and/or manchild when you're the one freaking out on an internet forum over nothing.

Feel free to put me on ignore if you're gonna be a little bitch.

Oh I see. Yeah, I don't know if I'd like being a lawyer if I spent less time in court tbh. It can be stressful when you're arguing in court, but you also get a release after and it's nice to see judgments come in, because you get to win and lose.

Party at work? Lol, I wish my office was as fun.

There are way more women than men but most of them are ugly as farts, and boring.
Construction business is pretty damn wet. :D

We Finns are boring as fuck. Like 1% of us know how to actually lead a discussions. And of course I'm one of them.

I've participated in some administrative proceedings and it was really fun finding holes in the administration's arguments, even though I didn't go to court or any sort of hearing. We won the case for that client which I admit made me feel fully realized.

But when it comes to the judicial system in Bolivia, its many negative aspects (i.e. corruption and incompetent judges) put me off.

Fortunately I have never had the feeling of coming across a corrupt judge. A few incompetent ones though :D.
