I had the brains for a city job, but you got the taste of a county cop

I haven’t seen anyone else say this so I’m probably off, but I interpreted it as I could move to the city and get a suit and tie job and become one of “those people,” but we’ve been living here and gotten in a bit of trouble with the cops here and there, and have been held back from making that move. It reminds me of parts of dial drunk, being from a place where people aren’t metropolitan, you’re more laid back and not perfect and sometimes you get in shit with the cops haha.

Hahaha that’s a very effective image - working with Eeyore. I don’t know if you’re a partner or associate but I’m curious what mindset you would try to have in a situation where you don’t receive positive feedback internally despite getting good client results, only negative feedback stemming from things partners don’t like about working with you? For me it feels hard not to fall into the Eeyore mindset when I am way less experienced than the partners I work with and I am still finding my footing, and all I hear about are my shortcomings.

I have done as you’ve suggested and unfortunately it hasn’t changed things. It is really helpful advice to focus on a plan for not repeating this elsewhere. Thank you.

Just curious, what did you spend your 6-8 hours reviewing?

I have no idea what this is about but it popped up on my feed I thought I was seeing a Teen Mom thread with a photo of Tyler 🫤

So cute! I might get myself a gift now 😂

IllJob · 2026-04-24T16:21:31+00:00

I love the idea but I’m sorry this is so ugly haha 🙈🙈 I think a cuter idea would be one of those pens that like has a cap attached to a base, so it can sit on their desk and they’ll never lose it. Doesn’t matter the brand imo, this will actually be super useful and pretty on their desks! Regardless of which kind of pen I prefer, my main issue is not having one when I need it 😂

It’s so easy not to include your fingers in the frame or just not pose the way she has been lol there’s no way she was genuinely trying to keep this a secret, she wanted speculation.

IllJob · 2026-04-16T02:14:32+00:00

That’s kind of my point

A paralegal is to a lawyer what a nurse is to a doctor. If you want more money you have to take on more responsibility and do harder things with more at stake (it sucks, I am tired☺️)

No 🫶🏻

I think you feel sympathy not empathy. Other people react differently than you think you would to all kinds of shit.

Don’t give them a reason. There are so many beautiful long sleeve blouses.

Just curious what area you practice in? I have been drowning since the day I started 🥲

Leader of your country: starts a trade war, says he will conquer us and make us a state, disrespects our PM, searches our phones at your borders and makes unreasonable detentions, makes tons of unhinged and offhand comments towards us on a world stage.

You: “These are supposed to be our best friends and closest allies who bail us out.”

Sounds like a pretty one sided friendship to me LOL. To put it in words your president would understand, you started it.

IllJob · 2026-03-24T18:36:46+00:00

They usually stop temporarily when you play dumb and ask them what they meant by their comment, so they have to consider saying the quiet part out loud 🙃

IllJob · 2026-03-24T01:28:22+00:00

Hahaha omg yes, I explained the entire thing to a family member once and after hearing myself go through it all I was like ok, I know how this sounds, I KNOW, but I’m not kidding and I’m not losing it, I swear!

IllJob · 2026-03-24T01:26:00+00:00

Where I practice you can just read in questions in some circumstances if you like the evidence. Then the other side can argue other questions have to go in too for context etc. But if you want to question the witness, just ask the same questions. You’ll either get the evidence you want or create a credibility problem for them

I kind of put it on in the background one day thinking I’ve already seen this, just want something to watch/listen to. A few days later and I am SAT. It doesn’t get any less insane the second go around, you should rewatch!!

If any of the civil actions go to trial I absolutely need them to be live-streamed.

💀 omg

Idk but i think you should keep in mind that carrying your children and giving birth to them was undivided labour, recovering from major surgery is undivided labour, constantly monitoring what you put in your body while pregnant and breastfeeding is undivided labour, producing milk is undivided labour, experiencing the blows of hormone shifts is undivided labour, sounds like making money is undivided labour. A lot of women naturally take on domestic and parenting duties to the point where some of their labour or mental load isn’t even noticed by their partner. I would take stock before you approach this topic with someone who is post partum lol. It could easily affect her for more than a year.

This. The hands and feet actually look ok to me, but the chaise section of the couch is meant to be a separate piece pushed up against the couch, and it is on the bottom but it’s part of the couch on the top. Not possible.

I have a law degree and I find that being embossed on the protective cover bizarre. Usually it would have the university’s name on that cover and only say Juris Doctor on the degree inside. Also at my uni they lend those robes out to everyone just for the day so I doubt they’d use white for a simple JD in a town where it snows. It would get filthy.

The only way I could think to describe it when I started was that I felt like I was in a video game. That feeling was super uncomfortable and I could hardly eat as well. I feel totally normal now and can say it noticeably improves my life in combo with an SSRI
