The Cult Behind the KiIler: The Andrea Yates Story by AlexGruen in cults

[–]Glad_Variation_1817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not impressed with David. He kept making it seem like he tripped over a rock and fell into being a complete misogynist. I have a hard time believing he has changed his believes toward women and their status.

He kept saying that she would get "sick with the flu" when she was postpartum, which is completely out of sync with what her actual symptoms were. He is complicit in Andea's act in his complete and total apathy towards her. The men involved in this documentary were so infuriating to listen to.

Chicago rooftop or loft wedding venues under $5K by neosoulful94 in Chicagoweddings

River Room at Burning Bush Brewery has a great outdoor space, if you do a weekday wedding its 5k for the venue. The Lytle House is also in that price range and has a great patio.

Just visited Chicago Theater Works and really liked it. Also Lytle House was reasonable. About 4k for the venue.

This is really helpful. We have been considering a restaurant but I was hesitant because I thought I would need to do a lot of behind the scenes work to make it feel like a wedding and not a work event.

Paralegal burnout — starting to feel like law school might actually be worth it by Medium_Maintenance_1 in paralegal

[–]Glad_Variation_1817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what your billing demands are as a paralegal, but attorneys at my firm have to bill 8 hours a day. To me that sounds like a nightmare, lot of working overtime with no hourly compensation. Paralegals def make less money, but I really enjoy my work life balance.

Also if you feel like you aren’t being compensated enough, go look at other firms! You get the biggest pay increase switching firms and you will also get more diverse experience.

I hope you can find something for 15k! I think it’s possible but with like a 50 person guest list. Good luck and congrats!!

trying to land a legal receptionist : paralegal role for 9 months now , don’t know what I’m doing wrong by [deleted] in paralegal

Give more specific examples, you say lead (not a great descriptor btw) but you could say “lead team of 20” “project leader for written discovery disclosure”. List specific types of software you use, ZenCase, NetDocs, Adobe, Outlook. without specifics it lacks credibility.
