Jessi, thanks. Hands down, the most fun I ever had, ever, in this business was in Brazil, going around to see the sugar and ethanol guys. I would visit plantations and mills and ethanol facilities. I LOVE going down there. I worked in the energy business too and the ambiance is more of the pocket protector American engineer group and I have to say I prefer the tropical commodities. I like that world; they can be shady but I like the Latin way of doing things.
“Then you are basically assuming that you’re smarter than your lawyer is about all the aspects that might affect your case. Good luck with that.”
Thanks! It’s worked pretty well thus far. I don’t think I’m smarter than any lawyer when it comes to interpreting the law, but I do have fair amount of common sense, good instincts and enough brains to evaluate situations. Those qualities have served me well to date. I hope this continues.
Now that I think about it.
I met a guy and the first email he send me, in the subject line he wrote “Hey There”.
We became good “friends”. After a couple of years, he turned out to be an “asshole”. Should have know by the “Hey There”.
“All I can say is I’ve hired lawyers myself. And I’ll be damned if I’ve told them “everything.” The phrase “Need to know basis” comes to mind.”
ENY, all I’m saying is that, there are certain clients whom I know are 100% open and honest with me — admittedly it took time to get to that point — and I know they tell me EVERYTHING.

This is fun. Very amusing.

Amen and halleluiah.
“and I know they tell me EVERYTHING.â€
Sorry for the broken record – but how do you know? And don’t say you just do.

that’s why i always use the subject “hey bitch!” – start with low expectations and then just exceed them slightly.
“In the past I needed/wanted to defend myself and was so tempted to shoot my mouth off and tell everything”
Also, you don’t know if the person you’re telling things to is ‘thrustworthy’.
