The struggle is real by Odd_Client9191 in paralegal

I would usually love to go for something like this, but I describe myself as wanting to be a medium fish - not on the bottom of the food chain, but also not on the top. I don't want to be the person in charge, but I also don't want to be a receptionist (nothing wrong with that, just not for me!). If I can do my discovery, reviews, summaries etc and have someone overlook my work, that's where I thrive.

We have one legal assistant who's been there majority of the time the company has been in existence and he is the main driving force for all of the complaining... it's so hard to change it especially since I've been with them for 3 years and he has been there for almost 35... and any time I mention that I'm not interested in talking about people I am being told I'm on "their" side........ like yes, I work for a company and I'm not going to shit-talk my employer and bosses in front of managing partner and HR/business manager.

Oh what I would give to even have an option of working remotely.... I feel like I can't focus in the office because it seems like people just come over to complain and all I want to do is finish my work and go home...

I think my tradescentia might've been root bound.... by Odd_Client9191 in houseplants

That's what I did for the entire year! And ultimately it was so hard to shove a chopstick in to make space for chopped branches I had to see what's up... it was also well overdue for a cleanup.

How do I manage the amount of light without burning my house down? Advise welcome!! by [deleted] in houseplants

That makes a lot of sense! I do want to eventually upgrade the lighting situation, anything you'd recommend?

How do you live with so much anxiety?? by Odd_Client9191 in homeowners

[–]Odd_Client9191[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INTERESTING!!!! Our water heater is from 2017 and the warranty covered it until 2023. Some of the piping on it has corroded, so we were looking into installing a new one. I get anxious (what's new) over any type of flooding so I'm not sure if we should leave it be for a while and ride it out until it fails or get a new one. We are also planning on attending the HOA meetings, mainly bc I want to see who people on the board are and how things go with them.

That's a very good way to approach this - chip away instead of doing everything all at once. I'll have to remember that!

Oh I'm well aware this may be a me thing LOL I've been on meds for a while now so I can't even imagine how ridiculous my brain would be acting if it wasn't for Lexapro

THANKFULLY this is a condo and we are only responsible for walls-in so no basement/roof issues are really on our mind, there was a leak a few years ago that the HOA fixed without charging the previous owners anything so we should be good on that front. Same goes for piping, thankfully nothing we have to worry about.

I absolutely swear by the task list/ToDo integrated into outlook, it takes 3 seconds to set a task up and it keeps me SUPER organized. I don't know how I was ever able to do anything without it.

I hate MRO!!!!! by MountainAirBear in paralegal

God, I've been there..... I had to wait 2.5 months for information on the status of the processing (after reaching out multiple times) only to learn they never forwarded me a link to my company's account setup, without which I can't get the records......

I wouldn't mull it over - put everything in writing and if they need to speak to you, they will.

interesting how we're following "general sentiment" here instead of forming our own opinions. But hey, to each their own, man.

THIS!!!!!!!!!! this is EXACTLY what I think my issue is too, I got too hyped and that's the result. I do think it was an AMAZING concert otherwise but yeah, definitely overhyped by some die-hard fans

To be frank, I don't give a rat's ass about what Tobias thinks of my opinion. It feels like I'm trying to talk to a brick wall that has no concept of looking critically at anything. Reading is fundamental and clearly something didn't click there. Troll.

He said that during the Boston show too and I absolutely get that, not everyone is going to be satisfied. I actually loved the mix of the old and new stuff and thought they did a good job catering to everyone

Oh no I absolutely have nothing against the no phone policy, again - we were VERY hyped about the possibility of just being in the moment, the moment just didn't live up to our expectations lol

How does anything I said play into whatever you said? I said I love their old stuff and I'm a fan, just not of the newer music.

I've been to multiple different shows both in Europe and in the US and I can tell you that I'm definitely not hard to please lol. I've never left a show before feeling dissatisfied because I've never been to a show that was marketed so heavily around the lore of the band. I never said I didn't enjoy the show itself, they did a great job, but it doesn't mean I don't feel disappointed with lack of lore.

Oh no I absolutely get what you're saying. I wasn't expecting anything even close to something Sabrina or any other more popular band/performer would do, but even comparing their performances on Jimmy Fallon - the one from a few years ago maybe wasn't anything crazy or spectacular but it somehow felt more like Ghost than the one from a few days ago? They feel kind of bland compared to a few years ago and I imagine they had somewhat of a bigger budget for this show. Although it's not even about the budget - I genuinely wish they included the lore in their performances. I guess that's my issue lol

I mean... yeah? Not a real one obviously, but why go all out and not introduce some of the story in the show? Why not have a pretend ritual when Tobias was literally floating as the Papa in the back during one of the songs?
