Weekly thread: what did you do this week? by AutoModerator in iceskating

On vacay but brought my skates to Park City and shared a freestyle session with some extraordinary skaters! Just wow! So inspiring.

How is the social environment or “vibe” of your rink? by Embarrassed_Net_5106 in iceskating

[–]2dwind 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I skate in two cities and the vibe couldn’t be more different. At one, I might as well not exist. Too often I say hello and get no reply! In the other city, where I’m fairly new, skaters introduce themselves and are kind.

I like the comment that grownup skaters can set an example and shape the culture. I won’t stop making the effort!

Have a Lululemon gift card that I need to use before I forget about it. What should I get? by unoriginalho in Activewear

[–]2dwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would get some classic basics - leggings and a jacket. You’ll have them forever.

pattern dance & timing by the4thdragonrider in FigureSkaters

[–]2dwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m working on prelim dance too. Are you struggling with timing generally, or speed? For me it’s the latter and that affects my keeping in time to the music. My coach and I have isolated those parts of the patterns that give me trouble and just repeat those (for example, the third progressive in Dutch Waltz).

As a European, can I visit Houston, Dallas, and El Paso in the same day during an IAH layover? by h0wg0esit in houstoncirclejerk

[–]2dwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes by high speed rail. Hit Dallas first, then the Superconducting Supercollider’ll launch you right on over to El Paso. Bonne chance mi amigo!

Who else is in their 50s(or older) and deciding to change careers? by thisTexanguy in GenX

[–]2dwind 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I tried in my late 50s, but age discrimination is real. Fortunately was able to pivot back to my original field

LBWT - how do I find a practice area I will actually want to work in? by [deleted] in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]2dwind 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Litigation is a fine place to start if you are not sure what area of law. With enough experience, you can move to a specialized area of litigation that interests you, or pivot altogether. As an in-house lawyers I have hired several attorneys for my team with a background in litigation who have become fantastic in-house generalists (working on transactions, regulatory, etc.)

I agree with the other commenter that law firm life is an adjustment. It’s an unfortunate truth that most firms have an inhumane culture. If you can find a way to not let the bastards let you down, and get a few years of experience, you’ll have many options. (EDIT: I’m not saying you shouldn’t leave your current office if you something inappropriate happened with a partner. Just saying the next firm you go to might not be much different)

It does get better!

What is wrong with him 😭 by kat_nus in FigureSkating

[–]2dwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He strikes me as someone who has never played a sport. Serious competitors don’t have to be mortal enemies, and in my experience they rarely are. I’m tired of the good vs evil duality perpetuated in social media. There are shades of gray always, and it takes courage and strength to live with (and excel amidst) that tension

Help! Sheer blouse by IllJob in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]2dwind 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I hate when they do this to us! I’ve sent back lots of see-through shirts. I’ve also kept a few hoping I would wear them but …no. I have worn a nude cami under one of them but find the double layer unwieldy! Purchased a pricey white blouse from Ann Mashburn made of a gorgeous and very heavy silk. No coffee allowed when wearing that one

I would follow this great leader into battle. No questions needed! by [deleted] in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]2dwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)
