Of the 8 hours that your firm is pressuring you into billing your clients for today's work, how much of it was spent on this message board and other general screwing around on the internet?

Ah suddenly they are too busy to vote on this poll.

I won't bill 8 hours today but I am not an attorney. I do work on billable hours though.

I dont have to bill 8 hours a day. I have a different gig.

Thank goodness, because I hated all that crap.

I wish I could do this. This site has cost me, in a very literal way, thousands of dollars.

I may need to consult you offline.

I paid $50K for Cougarboard and I have a feeling that I was ripped off.

No matter what El Jefe told you, websites don't trade on click and eyeballs anymore. Sorry man you were indeed ripped off.
