New Improved "I'm Billing Time"
The brilliant Bar and Grill Singers wrote the lyrics and sang the Billing Time song to Cyndi Lauper's Time after Time.
Only lawyers tend to find this funny. But they generally think it's hilarious.
If you're one of those whose day brightens because of I'm Billing Time, go to the Bar and Grill Singers website (link above) and buy this, and other CD's.
All profits will go to the Volunteer Legal Services of Central Texas.

Thank you for this!! I have a limited-representation client that I am going to make listen to this...he writes three times a day on unrelated matters, things like, "Would you be kind and tell me where I can find all the rules to file a subpeona, and the forms, and the notice provisions"...

Real conversation:
"I'd like to send a cease and desist letter. What do you charge?"
"I charge X."
"Well, I already wrote the letter, so I guess I don't need you" (drawn out over 3 minutes of explanation)
"What about filing Y? Do you need me to do that?"
"I did that already. I can do that myself."
"So what can I help you with, exactly?"
"Can you tell me [all the parameters of what should and shouldn't go in the cease and desist letter]?"
"Sure... want to pay me?" (not in those words)
The phone call ended soon after that.
That was the end of that...
