Living the Dream 12: "Politically Correct"

April 8, 2010 by Rick Eid Leave a Comment

“Politically Correct” tries to explore the PC culture of the legal workplace. More specifically, it focuses on Nick’s unfortunate attempt to distance himself from an insensitive colleague’s offensive language. He tries to stand up for the gay rights movement, but in the process, ends up coming across as a racist. That’s what you get for being too PC.…

Living the Dream 11: "The Review"

April 8, 2010 by Rick Eid 3 Comments

“The Review” focuses on Nick’s upcoming review and his fear of getting fired. My “inspiration” for the episode dates back to a story I heard my first week at Skadden about a slightly insane senior associate who billed 2600 hours a year for nine straight years—only to be heartlessly passed over for partner. Legend has it…

Punching the Clown (Part 2): LIVING the DREAM, Webisode 10 (SEASON FINALE)

December 15, 2008 by Rick Eid 12 Comments

Well, that’s it for Season One. Thanks for all your support and “constructive criticism” along the way. We plan to begin production of Season Two in 2009. The thought of ending the series on Nick pathetically “self-gratifying” all alone in his office just seemed too depressing. Even for a law firm comedy. Besides, there are just too many funny,…

Punching the Clown (Part 1): LIVING the DREAM, Webisode 9

November 10, 2008 by Rick Eid 2 Comments

No, I never did this. Thought about it a few times. But never pulled the trigger, so to speak. This episode is simply the natural extension of feeling trapped and helpless in the office. What’s a guy supposed to do when he’s so stressed and horny that he’s about to implode? I don’t recommend doing what Nick did,…

Halloween: LIVING the DREAM, Webisode 8

October 15, 2008 by Rick Eid 8 Comments

While I never wore a ridiculous drugstore-purchased Superman costume to the office, I did wear one to a swanky Halloween party at the home of a famous female pop star. Problem was: I arrived at the party two hours early. It was just me—in a stupid costume—and the pop star—in jeans and a t-shirt.  Oh yeah, and…

Rope: LIVING the DREAM, Webisode 7

September 23, 2008 by Rick Eid 2 Comments

Years ago, my friend and I were working at a local health club when we spotted a legendary athlete lifting weights. He was first-ballot Hall of Famer—and apparently, according to my friend, a man with a legendary rope. Not sure who told him this, but he claimed it was common knowledge. This guy was allegedly part of the…

Red Wine: LIVING the DREAM, Webisode 4

The only thing more pathetic than kissing ass is trying to kiss ass and not succeeding.
