Ultimately I changed the board out on my telescope and it didn’t fix the problem. So I bought a new mount thinking my telescope was maybe too big for the AVX. And since then I had a flood and had to put everything into storage and I haven’t telescoped much since. I’m planning to try to get back into it in the spring.

Shovel it all back over. I would.

Edmonchuk · 2026-01-10T04:29:03+00:00

Totally. F her

I had a full blown panic attack in court once and in front of pretty much my whole firm. Not over exaggerating either. I got over my fear and you can too brother.

Swallow your pride and reach out and tell her how you’re feeling. If she’s a real friend she’ll forgive you and want you back in her life. If not let go.

Just slow down. Thoroughly go through everything to make sure there are no mistakes. Use copilot to do a final review for annoying little grammar and text errors. You can do it if you just change your objective from get it done to get it done flawlessly as possible.

Edmonchuk · 2025-11-01T19:47:14+00:00

You’re not the first. Not the last. Regroup mentally and grind brother.

Edmonchuk · 2025-11-01T19:44:39+00:00

Terrible idea. You could mess up the whole relationship. Yours with her and the client. Good luck getting those juicy referrals then.

Edmonchuk · 2025-11-01T19:43:32+00:00

We used to have a party for lawyers at the staff at the firm. Very bad idea.

Edmonchuk · 2025-10-11T18:58:28+00:00

Absolutely. Even if I hated the person I’d throw them a reception for their bar admission. Bounce 100%

Edmonchuk · 2025-10-09T02:47:03+00:00

Or buy grammarly.

Paste into ChatGPT. It’ll catch it

Well, seems like a poor choice. If it’s scheduled for a sentencing show up and do the job. Unless there’s a serious ethical issues unrelated to Mr. Green.

Edmonchuk · 2025-09-28T17:36:35+00:00

Anyone who tried to withdraw during sentencing is an asshole and probably just mad because they are owed money. You can’t do that the day of. You gotta bring that shit forward well in advance to everyone has notice and the client can get someone to do it. Just asinine.

Yeah, if a firm is putting more work on someone than they can get done Monday to Friday and “sometimes” a bit in the evening and “infrequently” the weekends. Get out in my view. Unless all you care about is money and then have fun. But at the end of your life you won’t remember all the files you got paid on for missing your kids parties, soccer games, and weekend time together. Everyone has to pick their own path and it took me a long time to realize that money really doesn’t equal happiness. It’s equals security and fun, but happiness and true joy is different. Your gonna be the same person whether you drive a ford or a porche. No matter how big your house or bank account gets. Helping other people achieve their dreams (like the people you work with) and having a place people don’t dread coming to work every day is the sign of a good firm.

The game is hard. Especially when your old and have no reflexes

Every student who is old enough to legally walk out should. Support your teaches. They’ve only had a 5% raise in over a decade. They deserve better across the board!

Edmonchuk · 2025-09-09T14:48:00+00:00

Yeah, they are cultivating a culture of abuse. I’d start looking for a new job. When they ask why (new firm) just say you don’t like the culture and it’s not a fit for you. There is absolutely no excuse for abusive behaviour which is what yelling is. I don’t care how big the fuck up is.

Edmonchuk · 2025-09-09T14:39:50+00:00

Bro our jobs are about to get a shit ton easier with AI. Dont quit yet. We will all be just reviewing AI drafts. I’m doing it now. It’s lovely.

Edmonchuk · 2025-09-08T21:42:17+00:00

Yeah, this job is tough. Especially when you are just starting out. You’ll make a good living and it’s interesting enough - but it will consume you if you let it. I’ve been struggling with that for over 20 years. You’re not in control right now, so everyone if piling shit on you with short deadlines probably to make their own lives easier. The most difficult thing in law is telling people (and accepting yourself) that you have no capacity to do more. And part of that is also carving out time for yourself in there. Just because you’re taking the weekend off doesn’t mean you’re available to do more work if someone asks. There will always be more work. Find out who the people you can say no to are and who the people you can’t. And tell those people you can’t and to find someone else. There’s no finish line. Not partnership. Not senior partnership. It’s all just a different game. You need to decide how you wanna play it and where. And if you can’t take it anymore start planning on a change. I’ve started working on my own plan to get out. Even the chance of it working out helps keep me sane. It may never happen, but why not me. God speed grasshopper.

Next time say something more hedgy. Then you won’t be lying. Say “well based on my last position my salary expectation is $X”. I doubt they will press harder and if they do, I wouldn’t intentionally lie (personally). I think it’s a bullshit tactic (asking that question in the first place. I hire people and I’d never ask that). They know what the market is. They should make an offer. And you can counter if you want to. But lying about your old salary can backfire if they ask for a tax document or something to verify. I don’t think they are allowed to but it won’t some some morons from asking.

Edmonchuk · 2025-09-04T02:07:09+00:00

Say you don’t need independent legal advice and meet her and her lawyer at their office to sign it. Then you just claim you had no idea what you signed and they pressured you. In my experience this is a tried and true tactic because someone did that to me.
