Thing is, everyone these days is straight hustlin'. If you're not, someone else is, and when you get out hustled and you're washing the other guys Benz, then you can only blame yourself. This surely does not violate the I'm A Man Before Anything (heretofore "IAMBA") clause, it simply is the number one tenant (George Tenat, aka "Slam Dunk" anyone?). That tenant is Get Your Cake Up ("GYCU"). Whatever moves you are making that are in the direction of G[ting]YCU, they are completely and comprehensively covered under the IAMBA clause (and any and all subclauses). What follows is a story of a bona-fide Up and Commer, and how he is AMBA and trying to G[his]CU. A simple lunch meeting with some established players in the game, and how he showed, indeed, he is AMBA:
[13:04] Up And Coming Lawyer: had an iced tea, unsweetened
[13:04] Up And Coming Lawyer: and the 12.95 Wednesday special
[13:04] Up And Coming Lawyer: not the cheapest thing on the menu, so they dont think i dont respect their money
[13:05] Up And Coming Lawyer: but not the most expensive so they dont think im trying to take advantage
[13:05] Up And Coming Lawyer: it was sliced beef roast
[13:05] Up And Coming Lawyer: sides: creamy mashed potatotes and chives,
[13:05] Up And Coming Lawyer: better choice than the fries so im not eating with my fingers, i mean what am I, a toddler?
[13:06] Up And Coming Lawyer: side caesar salad so they know I'm responsible, and like to have a little green on my plate
[13:06] Up And Coming Lawyer: the side salad shows i think about health, the beef shows that i'm a man, and no bitch
[13:07] Up And Coming Lawyer: I asked questions about where they were from, why they practice, and shared annecdotes on the following:
[13:07] Up And Coming Lawyer: living near Palm Desert (there is a real estate conf. there coming up, maybe I'll get to go, who knows)
[13:09] Up And Coming Lawyer: A cannibis dispensery case I'm working on (I didn't let my own liberal views come thru. I objectively laid the ground work, and they provided the commentary: makes them konw I'm open,but don't abuse drugs. Alley-ooping jokes makes them feel good about themselves, everybody wants that; power player or not)
[13:09] Up And Coming Lawyer: Bill came, didn't reach for wallet, or even suggest i would consider paying
[13:09] Up And Coming Lawyer: this shows, that I am worth it and I deserved the bounty put in front of me
[13:09] Up And Coming Lawyer: Game recognize game and the power players understand this simple rule.
[13:10] Up And Coming Lawyer: I don't motion to leave the table first, I'm ready to chat all afternoon, but when teh first player pulls out his chair, I quickly follow
[13:10] Up And Coming Lawyer: showing that I respect and appreciate the fact that I got this lunch, but now I'm ready to go and work
[13:10] Up And Coming Lawyer: All in all
[13:10] Up And Coming Lawyer: great success and they appreciate me as a man
[13:11] Up And Coming Lawyer: They are now all looking at assignments I can assist on when previously there were "none"
[13:11] Up And Coming Lawyer: Chris Brown said it best: "I work to(sic) hard to be ballin' on a budget"
