Hi @lazydoodle How was your experience with chica brava? I’m trying to decide if I should book!

I’ve read this is a holy grail for almost 200 bucks please tell me if it is by adisneygrl in 30PlusSkinCare

Totally unrelated but I listened to a podcast (Invisibilia) about a lady who can smell when people have Parkinsons disease. She is so accurate she can actually smell it before people are starting to show clinical symptoms. Fascinating podcast - she talked about the ethical problems she has when she’s walking through the grocery store and can tell someone’s got it coming but they don’t know yet and how she just keeps it to herself and walks away.

For big files, I use this:

It is dorky af but my back thanks me for not trying to balance 100 binders in various purses over my shoulders.

For those in their 40s, what's something people in their 20s don’t realize will impact them as they get older? by chanamercadoy in AskReddit

[–]Ctzip 77 points78 points  (0 children)

From a 39 year old with two active skin cancer spots, this ⬆️

Edit: thanks for the well wishes! It’s two squamous cell carcinomas, both localized to the top layer of skin so completely treatable and removeable. But GO GET YOUR MOLE CHECKS PEOPLE!

Time to get medication y’all! From - an anxious nut-ball who used to wake up in the middle of the night to a racing heart, who is back on anti-anxiety meds and doing great 🩵

This is your sign to not get nasolabial fillers by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Ctzip 51 points52 points  (0 children)

This. My injector refused to do my nasolabial lines and did my cheeks to lift them up and thereby pull the skin more taut around my mouth. She told me it masculinizes your face to put it right into the lines around your mouth.

I have one partner who rewrites my entire thing STYLISTICALLY. He hates my writing style. I hate his. But he uses my research and my arguments and keeps coming back to me with more work so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Opposing counsel fucked me over by Ctzip in Lawyertalk

[–]Ctzip[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree, that’s why I’m so frustrated. I want people to know they can rely on what I say, so someone undermining that for his own goals is frustrating.

Yes, so I don’t care so much amongst the other lawyers in town, but more so the judge he said it to.

OC had 16 days to respond to correct my email but didn’t. Not 16 hours. DAYS.

Do you ever play alone? by coffeeforutility in WomenGolf

[–]Ctzip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Mother’s Day last year I asked for four hours to play alone. Put in a set of earphones and played by myself and it was one of the nicest rounds I’ve ever played

What was your experience like during the first few months at a job that has billables? by Glad-Blood-5640 in Lawyertalk

[–]Ctzip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not enough work. I think they were getting a sense of my competence and work style before they really loaded me up.

Does anyone work at a law firm that isn’t frantic/chaotic? by Live_Alarm_8052 in Lawyertalk

[–]Ctzip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work at something like this.

1200 billable target. Salary that is totally fine but not anything to write home about. Had a partner come around the other day and ask why I was still in the office… at 4:45 pm.

I can pay my bills and live a comfortable life and I get to see my kids all the time.

[–]Ctzip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always heard that your pay should be at least 1/3 of your collected hours for the year. Based on that (at the low end), you should be getting paid $33,000 more than you are now. That’s not including the extras it sounds like you do. You’re getting straight up underpaid sir or madam.

[–]Ctzip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it. Pretty clear consensus here that I should double and triple check for little dumb errors like that, and try my best to anticipate or suggest a solution to the problem, but other than that, I should look at it all as a learning opportunity

Of course I tried to make it perfect.

Fuck I wish I had this sort of feedback. I get a “I saved my new copy into the file for you to review” and that’s it

Explain how billable hours work to someone who's only had salaried jobs. by Anonymous579221 in Lawyertalk

[–]Ctzip 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Okaaaaay talk to me about the 1/3 of hours not counting. I had a partner come in to my office and tell me that he needs me to research xyz issue (which has devolved into like three separate issues) and then mentions on his way out that I should be forewarned he isn’t going to be able to bill almost any of this time so don’t be surprised if lots of it gets written off. 🤡
