Job search update: I have an interview scheduled for 4:00 on Monday at the open house!

Any other Law School Jezzies on here? I’m 1L and plugging away at Torts and CivPro today. Thankfully I have help in the form the above dumdum.

So it’s official-official now. Open-heart surgery is the 11th. There was a chance I could have a cath procedure instead but it’s not going to work out (we’d have to push it back 3-6 months and then there’s still a chance I wouldn’t qualify)

I started my own business and I’m super happy with how everything is going. I feel really grateful that I’m doing this and that I took a chance on it. I have 4 clients and more coming up around the bend. It’s a small start but an encouraging one.

Hi Jezzies, I want to thank a lot of you for all of your advice and offers of help last week, it has meant so much to me. I have found a cat sitter for Ollie and Can spend Xmas with family. Those of you who have seen me comment for the part 16 months know what a hell it has been for me. I attempted suicide and became…

Scrummy, definitely. I love Mary Berry so a compliment from her would be straight gold.

Lawyer here, no this is not inadequate representation. It’s the lawyer’s job to present every possible (reasonable) defense that could help his client. Even though this was a gross defense that would have serious negative consequences if it was successful (if not subsequently fixed by the legislature), this is zealous…

It’s kinda amazing that this Beard award winning restaurant journalist never contemplated the illogic of Stanich’s story - that a restaurant would have to close because it was TOO popular and packed with paying customers. A restaurateur in that position who wants out of the business simply sells to someone else,…

Childcare is physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding work. Experience and reputation are extremely important, and generally (no matter how much you have) you still have to fight hard for decent pay and any kind of sick days or benefits. It’s also incredibly undervalued work, and despite my well over a decade…

Allow yourself some sleep before you get to this. You’ll be fine.

Colour me a very, very, very happy little Vegemite today.

Can’t help with the social issues, but I have found my oral presentations or exams went better if I over-prepared. Could you brain-storm some concepts or ideas around the assigned topics and then start writing train of thought? Write down random ideas in all 4 areas and then just keep coming back to your project every…

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who replied to my questions about how bad labor/birth was going to be on the Cardi B article where she says her baby broke her vagina! I successfully gave birth to a baby! And only broke my vagina a little bit! But hey I didn’t get hemorrhoids so I am calling it a win. Now I just…

I made it clear that I wasn’t asking for their permission, and that if I got the job, I would be moving, with or without their support.

I love your updates. This is my cat Ollie, I met him when I was homeless living in a hostel. He was a stray they had taken in. He followed me everywhere from when we first met. I was so lucky they gave him to me when I was given social housing. He's 14 and I love him to bits. 

I got a new job! I start next month. I’m a little worried about the future because it’s a startup, but it seems like it's gonna be an interesting experience. And unless the weather is terrible, I can walk there! Woooot

So a while back I was looking at a place to rent long-term and found what I thought was the perfect one. I mean this had everything like large rooms (and I mean actual large not just “large for the UK”), quiet location, not many other tenants if it happened to be in a block of flats, what I call walking distance to…

My deepest thanks again to all of you for your support last week about making the leap towards a new job and a new, better life for myself.

Alternatively, drink a few while you kibbitz with your coworkers, then slam a bunch of hard booze right before you leave and meet your buds at a bar. That way, your company is paying for you to get wasted, but your drunken antics aren’t displayed for you to regret back at work. 

I’m a lawyer married to a non-lawyer and have been helped to understand when I’m using my “lawyer mind tricks”.  And, seriously, now that I’m conscious of it, I stop and try to have a good faith argument or discussion.  Having said that, I hate being a lawyer and would change that fact about me if I could.  I get a…
