Some days, this is true . . .

"Your lawyer in practice spends a considerable part of [her] life doing distasteful things for disagreeable people who must be satisfied, against an impossible time limit and with hourly interruptions, from other disagreeable people who want to derail the train; and for [her] blood, sweat, and tears [she] receives in the end a few unkind words to the effect that it might have been done better, and a protest at the size of the fee." William L. Prosser
