I once called a guy into his own office and spun around in his own chair to greet him. That kind of thing may be why I quit, before I got into serious trouble. I would smile and the person would get so upset. But you do a thousand of those things, and it makes you weird.

I just hated the law. I wasn't cut out for it. I couldn't imagine spending my life doing that, so I quit before I began.
