I expressed concern for a situation I thought unwise, and asked if I remembered something correctly. It wasn't an attack.
I get it. You're really proud that you're a lawyer. I like my line of work, too. I'm not interested in getting into a pissing contest with you.
Here's a tip: if you don't want people to think you're drinking on the job, don't post about it for hours and then backpedal. For someone who brought this whole mess onto herself, you're awfully defensive.
Emma ... I've never thought you were odd. I've actually enjoyed your posts. But this thread is making me concerned for you. If you're not drunk - are you ok? Maybe it's time for an internet break.
Please re read thread. There is no need for concern I promise. I am more ok than I think a lot of people on here........I do get defensive when someone is trying to say Im plastered at work and have work performance issues.

um, you said you were going to be drunk at work before 4:00 didn't you?

Yes I did and that was a joke. I will have a glass or two of champagne by then. Im in LA and its 215 here
For the love of Christ, I said your posts made you *sound* like a moron. And I was right. And you refuse to stop posting in a manner that makes you seem like you're coming unhinged.
Additionally, if you're not drunk yet, then you're just being beligerent without an excuse. I don't know what's more disturbing.
Way to come back in here and make this post about you again! The ship had sailed. Is any attention good attention?
What do you do again for a living? So quick to judge now arent we?
What does this have to do with anything? Emma, Maybe at first she thought you were serious about getting drunk at work, just saying that it was a joke would have sufficed but you just went at it all wrong, it was like throwing on GOFZ face that you are lawyer and got a better bonus as if it made you better than her.

Guyssss all this fighting is making me saddddd. I think I'm coming down with the flu and am trying to take my temperature but I can't get the thermometer to switch from the rectal to oral setting and I'm not in the mood for ass play from Mr. Bestmed Digital.

Why don't you just admit it and move on?
I am better than her because I dont judge people or try to bully and attack people.

Oh, and I don't care that she's a lawyer who got a bonus. To even play that card is laughable. I'm thrilled with my place in life, and I don't begrudge her hers.
It's pretty clear (to everyone but Emma) that the more she posts, the less support she has.
Hey, Emma. It's your birthday. Perhaps it's time to grow up a little.
What? I think she was joking and yeah well, motorboating talk is fun, more so than people calling each other morons.
Oh I see when other people joke its cool. Got it. And gozf called me a moron. I dont call people names you must have heard that from gozf.
erm... It may be time to step away from the keyboard and staqrt drinking. Dude, chill. You aren't drunk at work, cool. You can come back and say that rather than getting all defensive, it is not helping your cause.
Also, why do you keep bringing jobs and money into this? that is really uncool and seems very judgmental and as if you think yourself superior because of your job. stop it.

Is this really what you think happened?
I expressed concern for a bad decision. You simultaneously flipped your shit and rode out a really bad joke, and now you're peeved because people are calling you on it.
I didn't attack you, and I'm not a bully. Nor are you better than me, in any way, shape or form. You need to evaluate yourself. Your crazy is showing.

But you DID judge her by asking what she does and shoving your check in her face. Do i think it is cool to call someone a moron? No, but I think she said you were ACTING like one, which may also not be cool. She at first came from concern because YOU posted about work performance issues and YOU posted about getting drunk at work. You could have just come back and said it was a joke and none of this would have happened, but you didn't. Instead you got defensive and started talking about money-not cool.

Agreed. This is why people hate lawyers. The whole "look at my bonus check to see how much better I am than you" wasn't cool.
Re-read post where she talks about me being a chavunistic type firm attacking my job first.....thats where it started. And I had to point out my bonus because it was PERFORMANCE based and I was the only attorney that received one in my office.

GOZF then said I was lying about my bonus! Re read please

No, you didn't have to, you CHOSE to. And YOU made your firm SEEM chauvinistic, you started that joke! Saying your firm is chauvinistic does not mean you have to talk about money!

OMG re read she said I was LYING about my bonus! Its not about being snooty about my job people. I could care less but saying Im drunk, lying and have work performance issues. Um yeah Im going to get pissed.

She said I was lying about my bonus thats why I said I would send her a pic.

Honestly I don't care to. You didn't have to do all "Look at my check and all of my monayyyy!!!!" on her and then ask what she did (and then delete it) and insinuate that you're better than her because you make more money than she does.
Um I never deleted anything. I dont even know how to do that but okkkkkk

Then don't post that stuff on the board!!!! You posted that you were drinking, you posted that you had performance issues, you posted that your firm was very Mad Men-esque. It's not like she duh up dirt on you that you didn't offer! If you didn't want people to worry about your performance, then you should have updated about your boss being a nut case and the issue being resolved.
I didnt know you guys wanted a daily update on my life....but thanks for the interest!
You had performance issues-you could have just stated those were cleared up, instead, you got defensive
YOU said you were getting drunk at work-you could have just cleared that up by saying right away it was a joke, but you didn't.
YOU brought up money, no one else. YOU.
Do I think Gozf should have called you any names or say you were lying about your check? No, but NONE of that would have happened if you had done the above. Also, I don't think gozf called you names, but called your choices moronic.
Where did I say you were lying about your bonus? I don't give a fuck about it, but I don't doubt that you got it. And YOU were the one who portrayed your firm as chauvinistic, first comparing it to Mad Men and then making your ridiculous wet tshirt comment.
Something is seriously wrong with you. Stop projecting your crazy onto me. Sorry I was concerned you might have been making a bad career choice. I'm happy to leave you alone to hang yourself with your own rope -- which is exactly what you're doing in this post.
My prediction for the next reply: GOZF TOLD ME TO HANG MYSELF. ALSO, DID YOU SEE THAT SHE CALLED ME A MORON?
Gozf wouldn't have said you were lying if YOU HADN'T BROUGHT IT UP! YOU brought it up, Gozf just didn't pull it out of her ass "Oh, I bet you lie about a bonus check too".
The battle of "Monday Randoms" vs "Is this unreasonable?" is now a blowout...it was close for awhile. 34 more posts until 200 for Monday Randoms...we can do it! lol
Gozf wouldn't have said you were lying if YOU HADN'T BROUGHT IT UP! YOU brought it up, Gozf just didn't pull it out of her ass "Oh, I bet you lie about a bonus check too".
I'm pretty sure I didn't say she was lying about it! If that was implied, it wasn't intentional.
I'm not one to get all crazy about money. Do I wish I made more? Sure! But I can pay my bills and have plenty left over to blow on makeup, beer, smokes and meals out. I'm happy with my quality of life. For anyone to think that'll hit me where it hurts is laughable!

Hmm, I went back and re-read and I cannot find ANYWHERE where you claim she is lying about her check. I found this:
Ummm that was totally unnecessary. I can personally attest to the fact that she most certainly isn't a moron and seriously way to kick someone when they're down. Emma is totally joking around with all of you.
How's she down? It's her birthday, she's either drunk at work, or she's just having fun messing with us, and she got a holiday bonus and all her performance-related issues are over. Sounds like a lark!
I think she's presenting poorly in this post. You disagree. It's not the first time this has happened, nor is it a big deal.
Which she may think is you insinuating it, but that's a long shot.
