I'm chuckling (at this point (see below)) - and please don't take this personally, i.e. about you and/or your choices in life, because it's just some goofy thing that came to mind that led to my smiling - because while staring at the word 'lawyer', the phrase "infantryman of Satan" came to mind.... :-)
I don't know for sure, but I suspect that came to mind from deep-rooted - and mostly successfully sublimated - hatred engendered by witnessing the behavior of my ex-wife's lawyer in divorce court what is now a quarter century ago.
I've honestly never witnessed behavior more vile.
I best stop typing now before what was once chuckling degenerates into statements at *least* as vile as that <deleted description of that lawyer ending in "...piece of shit">....
<composes "self">
Okay. It's going to be okay, ~inquiry. Just... okay... breathe... you've got this... the bad person is gone... you've moved on... <exhales>
On the flip side, my lawyer in that fiasco was a delight to interact with. We're talking some of the most fun-ly clever banter I've ever experienced. And you should have seen/heard us laughing nearly to tears when he reminded me "Don't forget you're paying for this time, ~inquiry!"
