One Less Attorney
talking
balking
chalking up billable hours
bloviating
bullshit
horseshit
no really
Horseshit
Original plus two copies  
The legal messenger industry
little black flies hovering around
piles of shit
Moving it
Filing it
Researching it
Copying it
Serving it
personally upon named defendant
I know it
I could take it or leave it
I’ve been taking it for years
But I could leave it
in The State of Washington
in and for the County of King
Residing in Seattle
 

Yesterday afternoon I was sitting on the wall at Market Place One  next to this sign taking a break with Justin. Because we’re both hourly legal messengers moving very important legal documents, we both have clients in the building and it didn’t feel like loitering it felt like putting a little fuel in the tank. Some uptight tenants got offended within two minutes and made a phone call to management, who in turn sent out the big guns, a janitor with a broom and dustpan to move us along. As you know, I have a learned phobia of facilities management professionals toting brooms and dustpans.   

another quality of life issue

 

 

 

You know what hard work gets you?
More hard work

Mark, reminds of one of my favorite pieces by Pittsburgh messenger Tom Holland when he used to write for Dirt Rag, back in the 90's, http://www.dirtrag.com/print/article.php?ID=24&category=web-only While I'm thinking about it, here's another one that was pretty funny, http://www.dirtragmag.com/print/article.php?ID=26 Enjoy.

PS: I know that you know but just so we're all clear on this. I got some Schmaltz in me. I know what's up. I know what went down. And I'd like some freis with that.
