I didn't know you were a 14 year old high school girl.

What made you return after all these years Btw?
I tend to work better with mini breaks I found. 'Tuz can give me that.

The reason I ask about the girl is because she sounds like someone you don't really need. I don't know her, so to be fair I am only basing my opinion on what you told me, which is little, but it sounds that way.

Mini breaks from what? Studies or work?


And fair point. Though I was being a bitch about it if that's your impression (feel like shit right now so get irritated easily). Described ze only annoying side, which is rare. Has been a very good friend and will miss her.

Work. I am a lawyer these days. So I spend much time writing and on the computer when I'm not in court.

Too bad she's leaving then.

Yeah, I studied history before I went into law. We do insurance and criminal law mostly.

Chance for an eighth straight win and to go four points clear of Celtic.

You do court work or stick to the office?

Both. System here is different than in the UK (as I understand now, since we have a couple of international cases these days).

There is no distinction between barristers and solicitors for one, everyone who is a lawyer can plead for any court. Which means that even I, as a pretty young lawyer, have already been to the Court of Appeal to plead a case for example.

Over here there is only a distinction once you get up to the higher courts.

Any lawyer can take part in run-of-the-mill cases in the lower courts.

Can't say court work has ever appealed to me. Not really one for public speaking or being the centre of attention.

It depends. I'm not a big fan of public speaking either, but you get used to it. Sometimes, when you get going, it can actually be kind of fun. To me the writing part is more fulfilling though.

Can you imagine spending that much on clothes? Who does that?
I sure can.

I would do that if I had enough money that's for sure. Here I'd buy 100e shoes with 250e salary. So I guess I'd buy that expensive clothes if I had those crazy American wages :p

But nah. I actually do enjoy good clothes and it makes me feel good when I wear something great. But spending so huge is kinda crazy. Then again, I doubt people with 100k/year skip such 'luxuries'. :boh:

I understand nice clothes and all, but I just think that after a certain point the clothes don't really get any better/nicer. A friend of mine bought Armani clothes worth 3000 Euros a couple of days ago. To me that just seems wasting money.

Yeah I know what you mean. If it at least provided a better quality or of it lasts longer... but it actually means nothing. Nowadays buying expensive means no quality, just a brand name. That's why I enjoy buying rather cheap clothes that 'copy' the big guys as I don't really care if a label says Zara or Armani.

Btw, I did notice that. People are usually like 'wooow he bought a watch worth 5k euros'. But that's somebodys month worth of salary. It's like us mortals buying a 250/500e watch, no? Same goes for a car or even clothes. And even a house.

Now that I mention it... it's such a shit state here at the moment. It's only getting worse and worse. We also have IMF coming with a new deal to fuck us over. Investing in a house here is impossible. Not only we need 10k immediately to even consider it, but monthly paying whole wages for 20 years in order to get a house? Hell, we can even get fired over the night so you basically lose everything. I really... don't understand this world. Sure, I get that we need to bow down to oligarchy but seriously... wtf.

I think these are things that are bound to change. At some point technolgy will make it so that producing a whole range of itmes will be very cheap. 3D printers as well will make specialty items cheaper. Of course I might be very wrong about it, but I can see prices dropping fast.

As for the house.. The way it is now is so absurd that it is bound to change.
