If you're asking whether I think the midlevel corporate associate (or the "field nigger", as I think the bankers call you guys) is responsible for whether the deal lives or dies, no. I don't think that.

Here's the secret of life: none of this shit matters at all. You are dust. There is nothing else. Just do whatever the fuck you want, and have some fun with it. I like working all the time. I like doing a lot of coke. I like spending a lot at bars, getting drunk, doing coke, and passing out in my clothes. I like fantasizing about the suicide I don't have the balls to pull off. I like seeing the deal close; I like emailing a first year on his anniversary and making him come back to the office, because I like the company and he could use the training. Deals have to close, motherfucker. They have to close. I like skipping stones on the water, doing some coke, billing some hours, fantasizing about drowning myself, doing some coke, and going back to the office. I just like enjoying life and kicking back. But you need to figure out what works for you, because no one here is living for you-- and you have to remember that and live for yourself.

They really do it wrong. I watched The Deep End once, and it was complete horseshit. The partners treat the associates like people and the firm cares about pro bono cases (ROFL, pro bono!). It was insulting and terribly inaccurate.

This is what I'm saying. I didn't watch The Deep End once because it looked like shit, pure shit from the beginning. It was like they wanted to create Grey's Anatomy in a BigLaw setting which is just all sorts of fail.
I want to see someone like Alec Baldwin playing an asshole partner crushing the dreams of starry-eyed associates. Please make it happen, Hollywood. Even The Firm fucked it up by making it about the mob and setting it in some shitty place like Memphis. It has to be in MANFUCKINGHATTAN. Everyone knows that.

180. This is one of those posts that I think, for whatever reason, people just assume everyone else has 180'd, so they don't actually do it. There need to be about 20 more 180s here.
