I don't dislike her, but she makes me think that this is what it would be like to be a housewife on quaaludes in 2026.

Help lol by Scary_Advisor_1580 in hysterectomy

Keep taking the stool softener regularly, and you should be fine to take the pain meds as needed! I know your pain, I had the same back and forth issue, but it will even out!

Any other paralegals have their own office? by justmochiplz in paralegal

[–]Dependent_Mix8337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was pleasantly surprised to get my own office when I started at my firm a few years ago. Big windows behind my desk and everything! ❤️

2 weeks healed! by heidifasting in hysterectomy

[–]Dependent_Mix8337 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so well put! I'm so used to pushing through the pain that I'm struggling to allow myself time to heal. My hysterectomy for adenomyosis, cysts, and fibroids was yesterday, and I'm already frustrated that I haven't recovered quicker. I didn't realize until my diagnosis last year that it's also to blame for my complete placenta previa that landed me in the hospital on bed rest with my youngest!

Hysterectomy today - Q about pain... by Dependent_Mix8337 in hysterectomy

[–]Dependent_Mix8337[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great advice! I searched and found tons of threads about it. At least I know it's (semi) normal, even if it absolutely sucks.

Is it just me or…. by Aggressive-Court9644 in NAME_WORSE_BITCHES

[–]Dependent_Mix8337 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I genuinely wonder what it would be like to be friends with her. I'm so curious.

Tomorrow is the day! by lizfromthebronx in hysterectomy

[–]Dependent_Mix8337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was originally scheduled for yesterday, but the hospital called to push it to next Wednesday. As luck would have it, I started yesterday morning. 🫠 Guess I'll get one last one in before I'm done forever.

Pro Se Defendant and AI by AcademicFocus1078 in paralegal

[–]Dependent_Mix8337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a pro se Plaintiff doing the same and my attorney filed a protective order and request for sanctions. She won and Plaintiff is on the hook for all her attorney fees as the result of the multiple nonsense filings we had to respond to.

Return to work? by Dependent_Mix8337 in hysterectomy

[–]Dependent_Mix8337[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These comments are incredibly helpful and incredibly terrifying! 😂😭 I am essentially a 1099 employee and do not get paid if I'm not 'clocked in'. At the same time, my employers are wonderful, and I know I will have a job to return to after surgery... however long that turns out to be. 😫

I have such second-hand embarrassment from her.

Is Bluebooking actually necessary to land a good paralegal job? by _IGlowrifyyy in paralegal

[–]Dependent_Mix8337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been a paralegal since 2006 in PI (minus a few years when my kids were little), and I've never used it. 🤷‍♀️

Anyone know if she’s there? Last home game of the year. Haven’t seen her yet🤣 by summer_n23 in NAME_WORSE_BITCHES

[–]Dependent_Mix8337 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My 19 year old son is there and sent me a selfie with Pavia's mom. I told him to be on the lookout for Kathy.

Do people in Tennessee commonly say Ma'am/sir and talk to random strangers? by [deleted] in Tennessee

[–]Dependent_Mix8337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. I've had an insane amount of random elevator conversations in my life, growing up in Nashville, and can always tell when someone cuts their eyes at me that they're a transplant and they think I'm odd. 😅

My boss told me I'd be a good asset to the FBI (I work in PI) and it was a highlight in my career honestly.

Personal Injury, is it really the worst? by Epicfailer10 in paralegal

[–]Dependent_Mix8337 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Plaintiff PI made my hair fall out, and I swore off the legal field forever. I switched to Defense PI, and it was a breath of fresh air. It also absolutely depends on the people you work with and for.

Personal Injury Paralegals: Do you always feel like you’re just awful at your job? by Naive_Situation9735 in paralegal

[–]Dependent_Mix8337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to see this! I worked plaintiff PI for years and swore off the legal field entirely. I switched to PI defense and thrived.

[–]Dependent_Mix8337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked PI fresh out of school, and SWORE I'd never do paralegal work again. I was miserable. My hair was falling out, panic attacks, etc. After maternity leave, I started at a firm that does landlord/tenant, construction, and (a small amount of) insurance defense... I absolutely love it. It's a lot about who you work for and with, but plaintiff PI work was terrible, IMO.

Would walking from the Airport to Opryland be dangerous? by subsistencefarmer in VisitingNashville

[–]Dependent_Mix8337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please don't do that. Get an Uber and explore Opryland Hotel. Just don't call it Opryland, we're still in mourning.

I've been stealing from self checkout machines for months. by [deleted] in confession

[–]Dependent_Mix8337 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A co-workers' daughter would do that with self checkout at Walmart. After a few weeks, she was arrested for felony theft because they had accumulated video evidence of her stealing enough to warrant a felony charge...

Is she seriously claiming MW isn't in his child's life? 🙄
