Here in the state of Maine Buckfield is a small town close to Auburn. Here we have a highschool the is quite small. We all know eachother (and eachother's business). All the cool kids come here to party with us, cause they want to be like us. It is not cool to hang around the Park & Ride day after day. How ever, it is a good meeting place. The town is just the right size. There is a bank, grocery store, pizza place, library, and gas station... what else is there to need? B.P. is just something we are naturally good at! And no we aren't all related.
Hey wanna go hang at my buddy's apartment in Auburn? Nah, the rednecks invited me to a kickass bonfire in Buckfield.
(n) In law or other industries where time is entered by professionals for billing to clients, the process by which the time is "written down," by owners of the firm to reduce the compensation of the professionals entering the time.
Frequently, this phenomenon is accompanied by the owners of the firm "writing up" their own time on the same file to increase their own share of the billings to the client.
I billed 200 hours last month, but the backfield shrinkage will probably cut that in half by the time that it gets billed out.
