Oct 15, 2026, 6:26 AM> I have a personal lawyer who does nothing without at least monthly reminders and charges me for reminding him, and a corporate lawyer who submits things I have to proofread to shreds then debits us four figures an hour for fixing their typos I caught
How is either of those acceptable?!
@neil In one case I have yet to find an alternative, which has become a problem. (If you happen to know anyone doing Czech citizenship matters in Prague, I believe by this point I have cause to transfer the matter to someone faster.) In the other, the choice of firm doesn't rest on my shoulders.
Oct 15, 2026, 6:33 AM@d_rift I do not know anyone, but I'd be happy to boost your toot to see if anyone here knows anyone?
@neil That would be kind of you, thank you.
Oct 15, 2026, 6:40 AM@d_rift Could you make that post quotable, please, and I'll do a quote boost of it?
@neil I've now adjusted my account boost setting to allow it. Hopefully that will propagate suitably.
Oct 15, 2026, 7:16 AM@d_rift Only followers can quote that toot, so I have made a follow request. If you accept that, then I should be able to quote boost it :)
@neil I changed the setting to all can quote and also accepted the follow request. It shouldn't still be broken. (Alas, computers.)
Oct 15, 2026, 7:19 AM@d_rift I don't which of the steps did it, but it worked :)
