A Cocky Newbie
In this profession, you really meet all kinds of lawyers. But they generally fall into three kinds: the wily veteran, the cocky newbie and those in between.
You've read my adventures with a wily veteran. Yesterday, however, a cocky newbie came over (as he has been coming over for about three times since), to our small government agency to seek help for his urban poor clients.
As I have found out, he passed the bar fairly recently and it really shows. First, he was very cocky, obviously still has that "passing the bar" hangover and a feeling of invincibility. Believe me, I've been there. Coming from an ego-breaking experience which was law school, you could imagine what passing the bar could do for one's confidence. And he was no exception. He was still in the "I can do anything and everything, nobody can stop me" and "I've passed the bar, I must be good" stage of his career and probably his life.
Second, with this oozing confidence came his overly flirtatious demeanor with girls. That guy was a piece of work. He was, as we call, like a match. Why? Because he strikes anywhere. And the girls in our girl office mates ate all his bull up. Or did they see through what I saw? I don't know.
I just remarked, "If this guy experienced what I experienced, that will suck out all that cockiness and flirtation right out of him."
And my advice to them a year ago may still hold true.
Let's give it a rest for now. The Americal Idol finale is coming up and I want to catch it live. I'm not making any predictions between Taylor Hicks and Katherine McPhee because it's always wrong.
But that Katherine McPhee sure is a hot one, if you know what I mean...
