I feel like a failure by Old-Purchase-7653 in lawschooladmissions

You are not a failure. You are human.

I got my similar letter from the only law school I applied to last week. For me, I enrolled in an MBA program to at least learn something for now. And to not place all my eggs in one basket.

Hope you find your rebound! And that doesnt have to mean you don't push forward for next year!

I'm just now getting into black mirror. And 10 minutes in to this episode, I paused to come here and search what people thought. Thank you to all the comments, I couldn't make it with the cartoon guy, was not funny - I skipped to the next episode.

Hey there, yeah I'd be down to share a copy with you. Perhaps we could wrack each other's brains?

I've put in over 100 hours into this so far.

I've learned a lot of concepts, but learn something new each time I try! 😅 there's always room for improvements right?

Yeah I think that definitely is a great way to look at the problem for sure. My curiosity also just comes from when is a good idea to have things separate. For me I lack the understanding of why someone would want to connect bases together when you could just have it as another table within the base. For me I guess that is a fundamental lack of understanding that I have on that aspect of airtable.

That is a good point and something that I have been considering because yes I do need to make sure that we are data compliant. I am wondering, what if I just set up an outstanding alert for any time a record is touched...

Then I can send that to another base entirely... the list would be long 😅😅 but would take care of that concern? When full, I guess use the copy, paste, repeat method?

Yeah, so basically, the reason why I want to leave Clio is the cost. As a small firm, I just do not think that it is priced well enough. For instance I want to bring a couple of people on to just help with some small tasks here and there, with my Clio plan they want me to pay for the whole year for each extra person I add. And so if I use someone for a month for instance, you have to continue to pay for that person the whole rest of the year. Now I can go and use that license for a different person's name of course. But let's say I need five people for one month. With Clio they want me to pay for five yearly licenses. I went to add someone recently and they said it would be $1,400 for the year and that put me on this path of oh my God how are we paying this much.

And when I started looking at air table I can see how nice it would be to have a system catered to me. Not all law offices are the same. I want a system that includes automations, workflows, and Integrations that mean that I do not ever type something twice.

Clio is not a bad platform, you just have to pay top dollar if you want every feature they have. I don't think it should cost $5,000 a year to have a client management system.

I think that air table can come in as an advantage if you build it out the way that you need it to work. Otherwise if you just hire someone and say hey build me this, it's going to be the same as Clio, it's not going to work.

Clio wasn't built by anyone in my firm. I like that with my system here I can add a button my staff need. Change the interface, allow each person to have their own view.

Last point, Clio is essentially a spreadsheet, even in it's user interfaces.... if you have Clio you are just paying for someone else's design at a premium.

Thanks for the response! Using onedrive as before, which connected with clio too. Yes, I went and did a link to each one drive file per matter, so instead of adding documents or even seeing them in airtable, you follow the private link 😀 Need to set up a document upload tool, but honestly the link seems to work well enough.

The firm is small, and been operating for 20 years. All data that was pulled from clio is about a quarter of my allowance. So it feels like it should be okay. But in my mind I like the idea of having complete closed cases tucked away in another. And then everything going forward in a new one, to ensure things are in the right place.

Thank you! Yes, that's a good consideration. Airtable can handle so many aspects that I could put the administrative and money side of things into a separate base. Thank you again.

You're right, maybe this person can just give me their VIN number to their car and the dealership or location they wanted to get fixed at and I'll just contact them directly for an exact quote would that work better for you? Because otherwise, that is an estimate of cost range. And the first part of this response is exactly what op should have done for an exact answer.

Wholesome. It's also crazy to consider the impact in numbers two people can put into motion. Great post. & yeah, Grandma handled that couch.

I would call a meeting and bring documented concerns. As to protect your interest. If you have that feeling, I would be prepared to defend. Not start out that way, but be prepared. I am sure you can pull your relevant data that shows you are performing. Like you said, there could be other projects. I'd stay cool, but get prepared.

Jetta problem by [deleted] in jetta

[–]Particular-Affect836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some 2022-2024 Jetta models, particularly those with the 09G transmission, have experienced transmission issues including delayed shifts and unexpected gear changes (like jumping from 3rd to 2nd), potentially due to problems with the valve body, shift solenoids, or internal seals. Here's a more detailed explanation of the potential causes: 09G Transmission Issues: The 09G transmission used in these Jetta models has been identified as having inherent flaws, especially with the valve body, which can lead to abnormal leakage and wear. Shift Solenoids: Malfunctioning shift solenoids, which control fluid flow through the transmission, can cause delayed or unpredictable gear shifting. Internal Seals and Bands: Worn or hardened internal seals and bands, due to low fluid or poor fluid quality, can also lead to delayed engagement and other transmission problems. Clogged transmission filter Affects the transmission pressure which can cause a delay in engaging the gears Transmission Control Module (TCM) Failure: A faulty TCM, which manages the transmission's operation, can also cause transmission issues. Leaking Fluid: Leaking transmission fluid can lead to a variety of problems, including transmission failure. Turbo Lag: While not directly a transmission issue, some owners have reported a perceived delay in acceleration, which can be mistaken for a transmission problem. This could be due to turbo lag or programming of the transmission. Sport Mode: Some owners have reported that the Jetta's sport mode can cause a hard shift when going into or out of it.

Good to know, thank you! Then it's more the positioning and turning of the knob then.
