"Frank," I started, "I knew from day one that you had talent. The way you ran through and sized up all those asbestos lawsuits on your first day, it was just a beautiful sight to behold. And maybe even more important than that, you're very loyal. In this business, that's very important. No one wants to have to always be looking over their shoulder, wondering which of their protégés are ready to stab them in the back at the earliest possible opportunity. You're someone I know I can trust. There isn't a mesothelioma lawyer around who wouldn't feel privileged to work with you."

"Wow, Jack!" Frank exclaimed. "I really appreciate your saying that. I sure didn't know you felt that way. I really didn't know what you thought about me at all. You seem to be constantly flipping. One minute you'll think I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread, and the next you'll have that same look on your face that my father always got when he was so disappointed in me. I could never really tell if you found me to be a blessing or a curse."

"Well, to be fair, Frank, you're the one who's doing most of the flipping. There are parts of you I really like, and parts of you that just make me want to pull my hair out. If you could just pick one over the other, it would be a whole lot easier for me to have a stable opinion of you. But the way you jump from one side to the other, sometimes it's like you have multiple personality disorder. Like when we were chatting on IM, and when you first picked up the phone, you seemed like a completely different person from who you are now. What's that about?"
