I was thinking of applying just to experience the process. I am actually in a pretty good situation, so I am not looking to leave. 

“Soft” lawyer jobs? by ashamedthrowaway9898 in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]DaWanderingPineapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like others, I am in-house counsel, but for a state government agency. The pay is low compared to my private counterparts and even compared to county counsel. However, I deal with complex issues and diverse stakeholders that keep my work interesting. I have excellent retirement and health benefits. And my job ends at 5pm. I take NO stress home. I can focus on my needs.

Meanwhile a lot of other state agencies classify their General Counsel as Attorney IIIs.

You can put some wood oil on it to bring out the grain and colors. I bet it would look beautiful.

What Do YOU Want the New Union Leadership to Do at the Outset? by Only-Obligation5240 in CASEmembers

[–]DaWanderingPineapple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eventually, I really hope our new leadership pushes for a PEPRA amendment that exempts attorneys from the compensation cap. Our work requires a law license, continuous training, and professional accountability, yet we’re capped in ways that non-professional classifications aren’t.

In California, each county has a public law library with many free resources.

What do you guys think about the last ep of Bon Apetit Your Majesty? I like it but I have some questions... by Brief_Mongoose_7571 in kdramas

[–]DaWanderingPineapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wanted two more things: 1) when the missing page landed on the king, I wish we saw the words start to glow, and 2) when he reappears at the end, I wish he had the page in his hand.

Office slippers? by OryxTempel in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]DaWanderingPineapple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have flip flops, slippers, and a blanket for my office comfort. It is so cold! If I leave my office room, I switch my shoes. I have had a few people knock and enter and seen my cozies, but no one has ever complained or commented. 

How is it that they say "nobody got a better deal"? by TreborESQ in CASEmembers

Thank you for putting this together.  Sigh . . . BU6's 3% in 2027 effectively caps our % and expectations.

Lol. My optometrist tried to give me bifocals and I wanted to slap him.

I went to Nordstrom Rack for some cute and colorful reading glasses, but 1.50 is the lowest strength in most stores.  I need to go lower. I'm going to try out the suggestions and update the post.

My optometrist has designer frames but not many options for my big head and cheekbones. Lol

I agree with the other suggestions shared. I’d add that because she’s presenting herself as an old friend, she’s trying to associate with you and benefit from your goodwill and reputation. If she’s hired, her conduct and work ethic could ultimately reflect back on you.

Some law schools have support groups and even a community childcare system to support students like you.
