thought those were bankers' hours, M. Ted?**BG**

Much as I do not like this instance of "lawyering" we've been discussing, I feel the need to point out that we have lawyers on this Forum and it is not fair to them to paint all with a broad brush.

My best friend used to work as a paralegal and I can tell you, from experience, those were neither her hours, nor her lawyer's. They only get paid on "billable" hours, so the more they actually put in and work, the more they make. I know this gets abused, but not always.

Okay, someone else can have the soapbox now. Thanks fer listenin'....kat
