<--tells Meg <-- thinks Amy asked to be next (not Ame)
<--is sure that the next person on the list will chime in shortly
<--explains to Shelley and Ame that the list was purely voluntarily, and if you spoke up, you were on it, so please don't feel excluded
<--explains to Shelley that partners at <--'s firm are not on salary, but rather are on a point system, and the profits of the firm are divided depending upon how many points you have
<--says that points depend upon how many clients you bring into the firm and how many hours you bill
<--says in such system <-- would probably make less than half what she's making now on salary because of the nature of her work
<--was told that the firm may be "restructuring" and is hoping that they may add a new level of junior partnership that may include some salary or some similar arrangement that will work in <--'s favor
<--is leaving to wobble her way to the video store and the dry cleaner
<--will probably pick up Thank You For Smoking or Inside Man
<--wonders if there are any recommendations?
