that's such a fitting picture! ? because most ppl on here don't want to be the 1st to help you they want to be the 1st to tell you what you did and are doing wrong... the world has enough critics ?

 

What's with those little boxes in every one of your posts?

 

He's using emoji characters not the UBB ones but ones from iPhone or other system. Unless your computer can render them, it'll display the box with a question mark in it.

People are helping you by telling you what you did wrong.

In this day and age I'm shocked when people are willing to shell over thousands of dollars in cash to a stranger. It opens you up to an unbelievable amount of possible problems. Merchandise is fake, restored, it's stolen, you get rolled, etc.

 

Unless it's a dealer, that has a sterling reputation, that you know, how would anyone possibly hand over cash? I mean I once sent $5,000 to the Minister of Mining's wife in Nigeria because she had access to my $20,000,000 fortune, but that is a completely different thing.

True story.

 

One of the tenants that rents from my boss came to my office one day. He wanted me to review some "settlement documents" he had for some money he had coming his way. He showed up at my office and pulled up his email - it honestly was one of those emails "send all of your bank account information including DOB and SSN so that we can transfer the millions that have been left for you."

 

This is a guy probably in his late 20's/early 30's. I didn't know people still fall for this BS, but some people.

You billed him for the full hour, right?

[jaybuck43]

we bill in 6 minute increments...

[KPR Comics]

That's why I asked if he billed for the full hour

There's a firm here that used to bill in 15s. Guys timesheets would look like this:

 

.25 - Email read and responded to

.25 - Voicemail listened to

.25 - Discuss ...

.25 - Email sent

 

four different clients, 10 minutes of work, 1 billable hour.

[jaybuck43]

who the hell bills in 15s! That is insane!

[KPR Comics]

IKR. Guys who had 2,500 hour quotas.

[seanfingh]

There are still firms around here who do quarter hours. We have always done tenths.

I just realized I am surrounded by a large number of lawyers on this site. No wonder I love to debate with them so much. I also wonder how many are getting paid by their clients while posting on CGC.

Actually Instagram is extremely popular with teens as a messaging service. They will post a picture and tag the people (person) they want to talk with and begin a conversation in the comments. When they are done they delete the picture and poof the entire conversation is gone. Google doesn't cache instagram so there is no record. Once it's gone it's gone.

 

You're confusing Instagram with Snapchat. As the father of a teenage daughter, I can guarantee you that she and her friends never delete anything off Instagram - for the throwaway stuff, they all use Snapchat.
