I was in court yesterday with a couple of older male lawyers, who were griping about their spare tires. I relayed the depressing story of my conversations at BIGLAW with several lawyers who all told me wistfully that they missed their bodies, were sad at their flabby pale selves since becoming a lawyer.
One of the guys told me about "bankruptcy ass" which inflicted the BIGLAW associates in the city he once practiced in. Said it affected everyone, but was particularly noticeable in the female associates. After about two years.
Yikes.
[This convo sounds so politically incorrect when set down in writing. I was not offended or put off by the conversation, just sort of horrified at the idea that this condition has a name.]
That's litigator ass. You've got to watch out for it (again, no attempt to be un-P.C. or salacious {although I love that word}). It's the less-spoken-of reason for my foray into boxing.
