"Tom, your website is awesome. it is very informative and funny. im a recent nyc tier 1 grad awaiting admission to the bar in ny and nj. i got a call from tower legal staffing offering me $18 per hour, since it is ajd/paralegal project. I declined. She pressured me telling me that it is the going rate for unadmitted JD's. I assumed she was lying, but either way, I felt it was exploitative, since my cleaning lady earns $15 per hour with zero education and zero student loans to pay off. I just thought I would share this with."
Unfortunately, she wasn't lying. JD rates (for those few that are lucky enough to be offered work) continue to fall through the teens, and admitted attorney rates are dropping to as low as $23 an hour straight time. The situation is certainly exploitative, as we discuss on here ad nauseam. Trying to support oneself on twenty bucks an hour, after taxes, student loan payments, and non-subsidized health insurance is nearly impossible. Furthermore, the work is oftentimes unsteady, the agencies are increasingly engaging in bait-and-switch techniques, the positions are truly dead-end in every sense of the word, and the working conditions are many times less than ideal. Welcome to hell.

Hell will really hit this poor soul after he gets "placed" at S&C and finds himself being tormented by Big Mamma. Imagine paying over a hundred grand to wind up in a dead end temp job, finding one being presided by the ghetto queen. Not only welcome to hell, welcome to the hood.
What are the rates at S&C and who staffs this special place? Do they farm it out to the legal profession's middleman retard class or hire on their own?
Do I need a dental plan? Does Lisa need braces?
Legal Options had the gall to offer me $16/hr - all this after my stellar education and bang-up Dana Buchman suit. I was like look, honey, I may be broke and starving and not able to get laser peels, but I will still NOT get out of bed for less than $30/hour. Holla, Linda Evangalista!
S&C is staffed by several agencies, the gals of whom have sucked Manager Fig's dick.
Why does this kid who just graduated have a cleaning lady???
To the ABA:
YOU LIE!!!
YOU LIE!!!
YOU LIE!!!
YOU LIE!!!
YOU LIE!!!
Gutter wages. There is really no future 3/4 of these newbie lawyers. Better to cut and run now, it only gets worse.
I wonder how Brooklyn law school will acount for the fact there is virtually no doc review to stash their debt crippled grads.
To quote
Apocalypse Now, "You"re in the asshole of the world now, Captain".
Brooklyn Law School will just lie and make up a number, like they did with the part time student numbers which they conveniently forgot to submit to US News.
The law school industry is just like this blog, totally unregulated and totally out of control.
The cleaning lady has more class than this clown.
Anyone who stoops so low as to take this kind of temp work is a Cracker.
I would never let a Cracker in my house to touch my fine stuff.
Cracker, get off this internet and get back to coding!
Cracker get back to your Trailer.
Poor, poor Emily. She's at it again. I feel so sorry for her. This mutant creature probably grew up in the swamps of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi or one of those boorish backwater states and dreamt of coming to NYC and making it big and living the life I have lived since birth. She probably dreamt of women like me as she tossed and turned in her leaky trailer as a young girl and as her father felt her up. Then she came here and realized she didn't have the goods - so now she spends her time taking it out on black folk and minorities. Way to go Emily! Class Act! Why don't you put this energy into making your life better instead of putting down other people?
If you were a hot-shot lawyer living in a condo, what are you doing on this site - meant for poor, broke, temp lawyers. I would imagine you would have hot people to bang, important briefs to read, top-notch clients to meet - and workout at Reebok. I am unemployed hence here. Even if I was doing I simple coding "n^%$#" project I would be out doing things and banging people. I would certainly not be here. Sorry lady - your scam is up.
I have said before the agencies and firms can stick this rate because people will accept it. In New York the attitude is every man for himself. The problem with the Nigerians is they will "work" for any wage and the others know this and have to take what they get.
I would not work for less than $40 per hour. Think I can do better with a hot dog stand.
Emily, the state sheriff of Pensecola is looking for you. They found your bastard newborn strangled and suffocated in the dumpster --watch it girl!!
I'm sure you wouldn't think that way if you were black.
If that's your argument then why don't you substitute Nigger with Cracker or Honky?
the infamous 65 Broadway project started you out @ $18/hour (though the rate went up to $25/hour if you stayed on for 6 months). it began during the 2003 jobless recovery when (like now) there were tons of out-of-work attorneys looking for anything. even during those shitty economic times, the turnover on the project was very high. so the agencies and BigLaw have pulled this kind of shit before.
Don't get me wrong I think the temp industry is a disgrace and very exploitative, but people dobn't have to be good little schoolgirls when faced with unfairness. I saw the temps cowering in fear and kissing ass during my 6-7 years of temp experience on many jobs. I am not blaming them; but it is part of the problem. I also think this kind of self-degradation can shorten your life span.
One caveat - I have seen experienced smart temps not complain but shop for jobs all day and jump for an extra $5. The stupid ones stay on for "the relationship".
I am going to interview as a recruiter. I know of a few BigLaw types who are now recruting - who and what I don't know - but at least they have a job. I met once such dame at Clutch - and while she was pretty useless in general, she was better to look at and talk to than the ghetto dames.
Jobless Recovery of 2003
Hughes Hubbard & Reed - $18 per hour, worksite was hot and smelled like a cesspool. Lisa Hart made S&C's Big Mamma look like Mary Poppins.
Paul Weiss- $17 per hour. Bug infestations, 80 hour weeks, had to relieve yourself next to smelly, defecating homeless bums, time which you had to deduct from your timesheets.
Can't wait for jobless recovery of 2010!
All it takes to be a recruiter is to suck some dick, flash your boobs, put ads on craiglist and shove some poor temps into the job. There's nothing to it - a sixth-grader could do it in this economy.
Skip law school..go to trade school..electricians/plumbers have great unions and can make close to 100k if they open up their own shop..the jokes on you sucka
S&C is so hood.
"I remember joking with the partners that sometimes we forget she is black!"
And I am sure there were times they forgot you were a trailer trash.
Wow, this blog is hot today. Waaaait, I'll be back...I need to get some coffee...don't go anywhere, folks....
I just received notification from Hudson that they are looking for JDs with Japanese and Vietnamese skills. I don't have either - but I sure would like to bang both types of chicks.
And yes, I met that good-lookin' broad from Clutch. She's a little skinny for my tastes, but sure beats those polyester-wearing NJ gals.
Some blacks are Crackers, but most whites are Crackers. Certainly all the document reviewers working in the basement are Crackers.
No class. Lazy & dumb. The non-dischargeablity of student loan debt was a strong motivator, but nothing short of a beating stick will get these lazy document review animals to work harder.
Emily, your father is looking for you. He said he never found a better lay than you!
Hey Emily: I like shiksas like you who hate schvartzers. Wanna schtupp?!?
Who is this dame at Clutch that everyone is talking about? Puhleeze, there are few recruiters that have my style.
I am thinking that I have what it takes to win Emily's white trash heart. I am very very good at reviewing documents for $10/day and I make a mean bowl of curry. Curry is known to be aphrodisiac and me & Emily can make plenty of brown baby who will be future document reviews in Mumbai.
Sorry Mr. Lava,
I have first digs on Emily. We have already made a few babies that we dumped in the Pensecola dumpster.
Emily's Father
Tower Legal $18hr
Housekeeper $15hr
McDonalds $10hr
Night desk $12hr
Nigerians name your price
Can you believe we suffered through 4 yrs undergrad and 3 yrs professional for this? At $18hr, when you take out Bar Dues, Local Bar Dues, CLE, and students loans what do you have. Nothing. The rates keep going down. The jobs are gone. You have to be crazy to be optimistic.
Tower Sucks.
hell is where document reviewers live.. as an admitted attorney who has done 4 years of document review, my suggestion is to hang the shingle.. try to keep the law practice going while document reviewing if possible.. but get the law practice going at a minimum.. acting like a lawyer is why people went to law school.. constant document review can eat one's soul...
So funny, I interviewed with Tower a few weeks ago, and they went on an on about how they won't lower their rates below market like all the other agencies. Hmm...what happened? Also, if "all the other agencies" are dropping their rates, then that becomes the new market rate, and you are now paying above market.
Yuppie: I look forward to your articles on building lean mass. I need to lose some pounds built up during the recession. I need to start looking better as I am building my own biz and soon getting out of doc review hell.
Document Review is Ghetto. The only people who can survive it is genuinely unmotivated types. The rest of us get out after a few years of experimentation and finding out it's not the firm - it's the entire system that's crappy.
1:57 PM
Yes.
I don't criticize people for doing doc review (except Nigerian job stealers). But it's hard to do something else e.g. build a practice which would certainly be better in the long term with the long hours and prison conditions that temping entails.
It's the people's choice.
Doc review will ruin you though and make you a vegetable.
I will beat you so hard that you will mush into a vegetable in no time.
Was there ever a temp from Nigeria who did not bill every single hour and sponge every meal ticket and taxi.
As law school tuition spirals out of control, good luck trying to hang a shingle. Furthermore, with the ABA cracking down on shitlaw loan modification work and the outsourcing of hundreds of entry-level legal positions, things are going to get precarious. The powers that be are setting up the ideal conditions for the creation of a neo-slave legal caste.
Anything in the following article seem familiar:
http://washtech.org/news/industry/display.php?ID_Content=5363
Another tech-worker, Diane Drozdowski, was forced out of her job at American Express in Phoenix, AZ. After her manager used "bully tactics and psychological warfare" to try to get her to quit, resulting in a mental breakdown, she was replaced by two Indian workers based in India. American Express flew these Indian workers to Phoenix and forced her to train them, upon threat of losing her severance pay.
Something really needs to be done. I'm sure anyone criticizing the importation of these non-citizen Indians will be branded a racist.
Sounds like Big Mamma:
"For three years, I received exceptional reviews. Each year I was with the company, I received a better review than the previous year. That all stopped when an Indian woman took over the management roll for my team. She instituted monthly one-to-one sessions, which I thought would be a great way to provide me constructive and positive feedback to better my work and my career. That was definitely not the case. In each one-to-one I was met with her blatant hostility toward me. She picked apart everything I did and did not give me positive feedback. According to her, there was always something I should've done better and faster. I am admittedly a perfectionist, so I took her negative feedback very much to heart and tried harder than I ever had before in my life to meet and exceed expectations; whatever her expectations were, because I could never get her to tell me exactly what she expected."
As usual, the source of the wage pressures are corporate policy supported by government policy.
What galls me the most is that about one third of my income is taxed. I'm taxed on what I earn and taxed on what I spend.
Now that I'm in need there is nowhere to turn.
Nobody is helping me except for my contributions to my unemployment account.
Yet our leaders have found a way to bail out the very institutions that have put myself, and others, at risk.
Welcome to America, the land of dreams!!
They're simply exploiting the lag between recovery and recovery in the labor market.
The companies that now have credit are starting litigations they have on the back burner. However, the firms and companies haven't started rehireing in earnest. Thus, they know they can drop the wage and get takers for the next few months or so. They're also smart enough to know that they'll have a high turnover, so they'll staff short term projects.
Pretty smart if you ask me.
Give it 2-3 months and you'll see the more qualified attorneys fleeing the temp world. Hiring will pick up around then.
Also, things are drastically better than they were in January or Febuary. So cheer up things are improving, but it takes time.
Emily is boring
...YAWN....NEXT....
emily,
I got some big turds, corn studded "aka ribber", saved in the freezer special to use as dildos on your pussy while suck me babe.
call me,
Innis
The most interesting thing about these projects is that once you arrive om them everyone is looking to get off. Feels like Birdman of Alcatraz.
Emily, come back home darling, I miss making love to you in our leaky trailer perched in the swamps of Florida.
Emily's Father
As ridiculous as Tower might be, there have been at least two reasonable listings on Craigslist recently.
For 30/hr, Sept. 19th
http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/lgl/1382760009.html
For 32/hr, Sept. 18th
http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/lgl/1380571166.html
It's not as high as everyone might like, but still, nowhere near as ridiculous as 18/hr. Whether the posts are for real, who knows? But I refuse to believe "market rate" is 18 an hour.
Oh yea, Lisa needs braces.
Man, this shit is too much. I am sick of working with the losers and morons at Starbucks. Plus my ass has become huge from the free Frappucinos. What the fuck is going on? I was told the market would improve by Sept. A few agency hookers called me, but then they disappeared. I am still stuck here with my ever-expanding buttocks - and then Bernanke has the gall to say the recession is over. Yeah, maybe for you motherfucker - or maybe it never started for you you freakin' geek!!
Hey Suicidal, at least you have a job. I am $150K in debt and my wife abuses me everyday as I get on the Internet in my torn underwear and balding head. I am the biggest loser.
Oh, no, wait that must be Tom Delay - I just saw that fuckin' loser shake his stiff middle-aged ass on Dancing with the Stars. What the hell is going on?
10:50... those craigslist positions were for admitted attorneys only I believe.
I don't think 99% of temps will make money hanging out a shingle. They seem to be lost boats at sea. Do they know how low the rates are for run of the mill legal work. How hard it is to get people to pay after you've done all the work? Then complain about your work and threaten to go to the Bar.
Emily, your 5 seconds of fame is up darling. Your schtick is lame and one dimensional. Yelling out the N word and being nasty in every post is not very interesting.
Hey guys, can anyone tell me how to get a doc review project. I am very worried and scared.
In real life, Emily is a fat white piglet with a scarred pimply faced and loose jelly ass writing these posts in her stained velour pants and Strawberry tunic as she writhes with self-hatred and stuffs her face with yet another Big Mac to kill her feelings.
Why would a real hot white chick with a stellar education come on a blog to bash minorities. Women like that know their power - they don't have to beat up on minorities. Sorry, Miss Piggy you are a lame dame. Now go find someone to fuck.
Hanging out a shingle really isn't realistic for most people. It's difficult to get clients and you really do need an office. And after that, you need to know how much to bill and how to do the legal work. Each of those things is actually far harder than it sounds, at least it was for me, or is more expensive to start than you might be able to do right away, especially with student loans. You really need about a year's worth of expenses at the beginning, good luck getting that right out of law school, or even a few years afterwards.
Send Emily to me. I will straighten this cunt out.
Fuck you bitch. Emily is mine - always has been. I miss you Emily -horny for you, honey.
Emily's Father Trailer Tom
p.s. the trailer is leaking again, get your ass down here and fix it.
Did you notice Emily and the N word started RIGHT AFTER someone unsuccessfully asked Tom to censor people who criticize Nigerian hiring.
This is a trick by the pro-Nigerians to get Tom to be forced to censor the site.
See now you know how these people operate!
The same as any other spam designed to ruin or shut down this site.
I'm not that bad looking at 44 and am willing to hop into the sack for money now.
Whatr about those Cravath partners?
I'm never going to make money except by lying on my back. Or riding some partner liek a horse.
Honey, I am 32 and no one is willing to take me, let alone 44. I feel for you 'cause my sister is 44, hot as a grill, but once people find out she is that old, they run.
If you are in top shape and can ride the partner like a horse you may have a chance - a slim one, but a chance. Good luck.

Ya'll uppity Yankee lawyers need to come down south - have a brewskie or two, hang out by the swamps, watch dem gators. Here in the south it's always relaxed and fun, we drink and play and are never short of lay, heck our own daughters will do. Well now ya'll take care...and don't git your minds twisted into all sarts of stuff...git your pipes cleaned once in a while at the whorehouse if not with your baby girl...ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Trailer Tom speaks da Truth! Trust! give me a shot o' Southern Comfort & a banjo on my knee & I am LIVING...sigh..so sick of this Hood life..my neck, my back..

Now I know why since time began women have married for money. Law as the path to independent success for women bullshit.
NOW, another failed American organization.
Is $18/Hr the new 160K/Yr, after adjusting for inflation? That seems counterintuitive to me, in light of the fact that wages should be going up to keep pace with higher cost of living.
It's clear $18 is the going rate.
Shitty compliance LP, a dodgy agency, wants law review, too.
I was on law revue. Shaking my booty at the local strip joint for cash, plus lap dances and letting people touch the clam and finger me for $100.
I will pee on man for $300.
I love these people who keep saying, temping isn't so bad. "You can do well at it." "It is better than other choices." "Find something else for me to do" (now that is a real temp thinking, zero motivation).
When Bloomberg started the $20 rate, that was the beginning of the downward spiral.

12:36- In theory, you should be right. The legal marketplace however is in the midst of a massive deflationary correction caused by a glut of attorneys. This glut has been in the making for years. Outsourcing, the availability of law school student loans to anyone with a pulse, and outright employment reporting fraud by people like Joan King are all part of the equation. The bubble has burst. Don't expect it to get better anytime soon. The king has been exposed and he is wearing no clothes.
$18 an hour now requires law review. For everyone else, brush up on your cock sucking skills. A hooker can still trick her way into a fuck bucks ITE.
"Obama to world: Don't expect America to fix it all (AP)
AP - In a blunt challenge to his nation's critics, President Barack Obama on Wednesday exhorted world leaders who once accused the United States of acting alone to now join with him in solving global crises rather than wait for America to do it on its own."
Obama, forget about the fucking world. Fuck em'. Pull out of Iraq and Afganistan. Seal the borders. Round up and deport anyone here illegally. Crash the dollar, fuck the Chinese, and let's start over.
This country is imploding from the inside out, and we are going to spend millions MORE in the deploying of more troops.

I am Hebo Bobo Okidobo, barrister at laws, HNR's.
I am currently employed on four projects in NYC doing document review. All this from my home in glorious and most properous Lagos, Nigeria. As we all look alike I simply asks me relations to go to the work. I need help in cashinng the much earned monies in the US and ask you to send bank information so as I can deposit into your account checks you will then wire me for you get to keep a transfer fee as I await mor of this.
Congenially yours,
barrister at laws, HNR's, 3rd Cicuit of the Tiger, Prowl
I heard some bullshit about the economy being fixed. Funny, I just spent the day making calls to partners I have known through networking or have interviewed with in the past and they all say they are fully staffed and the economy has not actually recovered.
I just don't see how people are getting jobs at all. Only an idiot would go to law school now, although I supposed the same could be said for the past 5 years or so. From what I see, even the top law schools are not getting good employment numbers.
Bernake says the economy is doing well and the recession is over.
This Barbasol ad man believe his own bull. So his narcissist boss Obama say everyone else bad only Hussein can save the world.
Stick a cattle prod up Bernanke's stupid ass.
The thief has been stealing billions.
The glut of lawyers even in one state California is 200,000 plus now. This is more than enough lawyers for the whole country.
But the agencies see a shortage so need to import from Nigeria. New York Bar agrees with this.
Face it you are in a dead profession. That's why any women who can have to turn to selling their bodies and being flirty fishies.
Joan King argued that the treatment the article gave to contract attorney work was too derogatory in tone. The article ignored the facts that (1) contract attorney work can be rather lucrative, not only in monetary terms, but in terms of opportunities; and (2) many lawyers like contract attorney work, because of the freedom it allows (and again for the money it offers). She went on to say that they have not heard that the market is being scaled back in hiring, and that the outlook is good.

Don't saddle yourself w/ nasty debt from a 3rd tier school, if you can't make the Top 20, go to trade school instead, you'll be doing yourself and everyone else a favor! Together we can solve the problem of Glut in the legal industry!
I'm a long reader of this blog, but have never posted. I finished top half of my class at a tier one and made the bad decision to get stuck doing doc review, which I did for several years (NYC).
I definitely think that the industry is over. My advice is to get out now!!! Soloing is very hard in most markets. Student loan debt is crippling. Its also true that that we're in the "overqualified" category. I know this from experience trying to find basic jobs in which they looked at my JD and passed me over, with a look on their faces that clearly said "what's your problem man? Why are you applying for this?".
We all need an exit strategy and I think it's damn difficult. Barring something like luck, doc review for long periods of time will destroy your resume.
Please, everyone, just stop doing it, or do it with a plan in mind. What the plan is will vary, but doc review is the very definition of a dead-end job.
Peace and good luck.

MUAMMAR AL-GHADDAFI SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PUT HIS TENT ON THE UPPER WEST SIDE AND SLAUGHTER GOATS THERE!!!
There will be no jobs in America for the foreseeable future. Despite all this talk about recovery, net jobs are still being pulled from the economy at a large clip. While the bloodletting is not as serious as it was earlier in the year, jobs are still being lost.
Not only do we have to stop losing jobs, but we have to start adding them, and we have to start adding them fast to make up for the tidal wave of jobs that were lost during the Great Recession and to keep pace with all those people entering the work force. Can this accomplished? I doubt it. It will take years (maybe even a decade) to reach a proper equilibrium in the labor force. Meanwhile, thousands will begin to lose their unemployment benefits by the end of the year.
Most doc reviewers' resumes throw up HUGE red flags to HR deptartments at non-legal firms and companies. Who wants to hire someone who's done 12 different temp gigs in 2 years? I've been asked "Gee, you never got a permanent offer from any firms?" Outisde the cult of doc review, no one understands that legal temping is NEVER temp to perm, like most temp gigs are in non-legal industries.
And its been said a million times here and elsewhere that a JD/bar license is useless outside of law. It impresses no one and is more a hinderance than a help.
Focus of this article is just classic.

I second that. I would love to get some cubes of lamb from him - I am so hungry. Haven't eaten in days....but I look good though.
I am so worried I can't sleep at night. Can't eat - I miss my mama. What's going to happen to me when the benefits run out???
Who let this mother fucking terrorist MUAMMAR AL-GHADDAFI into our country? INSANE!!!!!!!!
Hey, hey!
Anyone know of any reviews going on? Just graduated from Pace and ready to go! I just know I passed that NY bar.
JD = Scarlet letter, seriously. I'm overqualified for every non-legal job and underqualified for every legal job. WTF?
I am Helga the Teutonic Twat with a message for Emily: you are too stupid to be here. Please leave. What gives? Did you have a black boyfriend or girlfriend that done you wrong? If you hate, hate elsewhere. We have bigger problems to discuss here than race. So fuck off. Fuck off now.
Dear Doc Review Chimp: you are so cute. You need more Monkey Chow. What's going to happen? Baby Chimp, its going to be bad. If you have relatives in the heartland, I suggest that you make haste to go to them next year 2010 when the shakeout begins. You will need to be somewhere where you can hunt, fish, and garden. If you don't have these skills, hopefully you have a relative that does and can teach you.
bOBO HOKIDOBO FROM nIGERIA: you are very funny. You've won the New Jersey lottery. Please contact me with your bank account routing information and I will make sure you get your lottery money. 10 zillion dollars, ass hole! you be rich!! you be really rich!! greed greed greed. wanna buy a commodity? I've got dog shit to sell real cheap.
btw - cracker & honkey don't have the same impact as "nigger" - there is no comparison. Can't think of a term that has the same impact as "nigger" . Maybe if we used the hated word more it would no longer have such impact BUT it would be too hard on those who are injured by it.
Love,
Helga
That's right, folks. There's no future for you. May as well give up. Your lives are over.
The End.
yes, lets give up now.
DROP THE BOMB!
EXTERMINATE THEM ALL!
The most entitled person in the world is Barack Hussein Obama,
The consequence is he only talks down other people and loves himself.
Obama: an awful human being.
Also he considers himself to be African and a brother of Ghaddafi. If not he should have told him he is an American and proud of it. But instead he said how bad America is.
Which is why foreigners are not allowed to be president under the Constitution.
I think the people here telling people to get out of doc review are overestimating the majority of temps doing this line of work. Only about 10% in my view could do something else, i.e. work for a government, a law firm, or do solo practice. The other 90% are doing it because of utter inability.
Please note I am saying there is a BIG RANGE of ability in the doc review world, but most of it in the lower range (Nigerians the bottom of the barrel).
If I wear provocative clothes to the temp firm to hook a partner, I get a call from the agency. So how do you hook up with people on the job with the agency police?

Did Ghaddaf have botched plastic surgery? Cuz he kinda looks like carrot top.
Allowing that piece of crap terrorist who was complicit in the blowing up of a jumbo jet (who then recently held a party celebrating it) into a city where thousands of people were murdered by fanatical terrorists is incomprehensible. I guess when you have your hand on the oil spigot, corporations and governments will do anything to kiss your ass.
Every New Yorker should go out of their way to spit on that disgusting piece of human scum.
We can only do that if he is allowed to pitch his tent in Central Park.
Gaddafi is like Castro - a doddering old boogeyman kept by the intelligence agencies to create entertainment and fear.
You NYC brothers have it rough. Here in DC it really is a "Nigger" problem, since way more than half of us on projects are brothers. It's interesting that you have so many caucasians in New York doing coding. I went to Howard, and in my 20's I'm making more than my dad did at any point in his career. Peace.
Why do you all hate Nigerians so mucch?
I love your blog site guys -- FINALLY, somewhere where the people are freaking pissed more than I am!! I like you more than facebook. Heck, I like you better than my mama.
Oh shut up about the Nigerians, people. I'm neither black nor white, but think all you guys are f*$@ up as a group. So, let's bitch about something we can get somewhere, like why all the temp agencies, run by "whites", are so f**# up, they screw over their own bros and sis? Capitalist pigs.
Thanks for the effort you took to expand upon this post so thoroughly. I look forward to future posts.
