“I like employment law because it revolves entirely around crazy people,” explains the anonymous “Opinionistas,” who claims to be a junior associate at a prominent New York firm, at least until senior partners discover her cynical blog:
“Honey, how was your day?” “Um, well, actually I got pissed off and peed all over the floor of the ER, in front of 2 potential cardiac arrests and a trauma victim, so I’m kinda fired. But it was discrimination! They actually fired me because I’m one-fifteenth Native American on my mother’s side!” So the guy gets a scummy lawyer to take his case, he sues the hospital, and the hospital calls us for help. Then we demand to see the Urinator’s (I come up with little nicknames for all of them) personal email account. Then the real fun begins. Hours spent reading about his extramarital flirtation with Marta, the 3rd floor nurse anesthetist, his anger with his boss for not permitting 3 20-minute coffee breaks each morning, his wife’s current interest (or lack thereof) in sex.
She also has summer associate gossip (via Legal Reader).
