What’s the most obvious lie a patron has told you to try to score a free drink or a heavy pour? I just heard an hour-long story from a guy about how lonely he is in life, and 30 minutes after I gave him the extra pour, a whole group of friends pulled up, and his entire energy changed. Would you have bought his story?

It’s easy to buy it if he’s alone. Don’t fault yourself for trying to be kind.

Hey you never know, it might be true. I have a lot of people try to tell me they just got engaged or they are turning 21 to get free drinks. The 21 thing cracks me up because some of these people are obviously double that age hahah.

I probably would’ve been skeptical but still given the benefit of the doubt in the moment. People are good at reading situations and saying what they think will work. That shift in energy says a lot though.

No because I probably wouldn't have listened to it 😂. You're a more patient person than I am. Also a more generous one.

To sleep or not to sleep? That is the question... that I’m contemplating right now. At what point is sleep the better choice in the middle of a very busy week? Will I be more productive tomorrow if I call it quits and actually get a full 8 hours tonight? Or do I keep churning out half-assed work product until the wee hours of the night in hopes of catching up, since I’m already two days behind where I need to be?

Already spoke with a partner who wanted something done this morning for him to review and then we discuss again. Sent it to him about 4 hours ago. Should take him half an hour to review max. At what point can I check in with him to see when we can catch up so I’m not waiting in the office all day?

Want to get a sense check. Typical English firm salaries in London are about 70% Cravath (unless you're at one of the US firms that benchmarks to Cravath scale offices). 2PQE is around 165k USD + 30k bonus assuming 1800 billables. So comparing at a firm where you roughly bill 1900-2000 a year, you lose out, but if you bill 2200+, that's comparable?

Thinking aloud here - if you can find that 2000-billing firm, no sense staying in that payscale unless you have a shot at equity?
