Silly Trusting Man

We received an email from an attorney research analyst from NYC/Wall Street address. I thought the whole thing was bogus so deleted it.
Then they wrote one more time asking to not delete, this was real and gave Rick a number to call. Then they called the office to speak to Rick and gave me a number to have him call. I was beginning to think this may be real but since I am suspect of everyone these days I wasn't 100% sure just yet.

Rick, of course, called it. I am not sure if I would have except for curiosity.  Yes, I am the suspicious one. I no longer trust anyone, and I know that is sad really. But Rick always does even if it has bitten him in the ass many times. He googled them and said, "See they exist" as though no one has ever made a fake website to bamboozle people. 

They want to speak to Rick as an expert in the field. His concern was that this was against someone in our area. He wouldn't do that. They told him it wasn't against a person or company like ours. This case is with a major hotel chain vs a customer. They discussed the things they would talk about. They asked for a price Rick would like to do this. He gave them the most outlandish prices. So much for 1st discussion, so much for the trial etc.

They called back and wrote an email a week later saying all the monies were approved. We laughed. If they approved those monies I wish he has asked for more then. Crazy ass number Rick threw at them. Ah, lawyers.
Yesterday they asked for a time to speak with Rick on Monday with the attorney to go over everything and to see if this will move forward.

It is an odd case of a woman who fell in a hotel bathtub.
Been there done that. I never thought to sue and I broke my nose. 
Silly me.
But in 1984 we weren't so litigious were we?

I read the case information and honestly, the hotel is not at fault, the employee who said what he said was out of line and I would imagine fired. The person staying at the hotel sounded like a pain the ass and her actions don't match her words. I can't get into details just yet but I will when this is over. 

I think it will be interesting to see how this plays out. 
I now hope it goes the full route because that extra money would sure be nice. 
Rick laughed when I said something about this nice little bit of money. 
He went on to say that since I wouldn't have responded 'oh negative nelly', I don't get to share the windfall.  
Yes, that's how it works Rick, you bring money in the house and I don't get any part of it.
Silly, silly man.
