I know all of you guys are pretty scared right now about your jobs but let’s not forget that we are BigLaw associates because we like to blow money big time. It’s funny because in light of the market and all the waves of lay offs, you people should be saving saving saving. But, almost as if in a willful self-destruction, you guys are spending spending spending. Is it to make yourselves feel better about having a crappy job that will eventually kick you to the curb in some shape or another (either by lay off or degenerating your mind and body into a billing slave?)? It can’t possibly be that you’re in denial, not after the NY Times did an article on White & Case basically saying that the old BigLaw firm structure is dead. So what is it?
Is it that you don’t have any self control?
You don’t understand that ordering $15 martinis is not economically savvy?
You don’t understand that a designer dress on sale for $400 is still spending $400 too much?
Or is it that that’s all we know as BigLaw associates? We conform even in our habits.
Sad.
