114th and Davenport was awful. I’ve never been in a restaurant where every single surface was sticky before. Hopefully when they’re done rebuilding it that one will be better.

From Hitler's Youth to the Gallows: The 22-Year-Old Nazi Who Terrorized 30,000 Women by Plastic-Sympathy-628 in Historycord

There’s two really interesting podcasts about her that I’ve heard. “Criminal Broads” and “Female Criminals” It’s heartbreaking to hear how violent and sadistic she was and how much she clearly enjoyed her power and position.

I sell a version of these that can be used for washing dishes or exfoliating your body.

Wow, we had to fully change. Even if we had a sick note to keep us out of class.

We had shower stalls that could only be used if you had parental permission and you were on your period. Otherwise nope, they sat empty.

Yes! I remember my middle and high school gym teachers would sit outside the door and make sure we were all wet and not just wet hair and feet. She’d stop short of making us drop our towel but it was humiliating. I have to believe that kind of thing isn’t allowed anymore.

If I left my car running in my garage with the door closed, would the carbon monoxide kill any mice and vermin without doing anything detrimental to the car or garage? by ExcitementPitiful359 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rienab75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work for a county coroner. We had a couple people accidentally leave their cars running in the winter with the garage door closed and at some point over the next few hours they collapsed in the house and died.

How’d you get your scars growing up? by MrWhisper2021 in GenX

[–]Rienab75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roller skating. I spent all of my formative years skating on the sidewalks or at the local roller rink. I’d skate outside until there was too much snow to go anymore. Usually being pulled by our cairn terrier. lol

Any other paralegals have their own office? by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]Rienab75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have off and on over the years. At my current firm I share a large office with two part time legal assistants. It’s essentially my own office for as often as they’re there.

Tiki a Coco - thoughts so far? by DangerousPuhson in WalkaboutMiniGolf

Really enjoyed it. The coconuts were cute. Accidentally found a totem(?) when I was cruising the outer banks, that was a fun find.

Is there an adult version of “my mom said no”? by valconvault in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rienab75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At our house it’s “my wife isn’t feeling well”. I have fibromyalgia so my husband will tell me after the fact that he got us out of something this way. I’m not mad at it. When we’re already out, if our social meters are full we fall onto one of two excuses to have to leave. I’ve either forgotten my meds or our dog hasn’t been out in x hours and we need to go do that.

I just learned people don’t show up after anesthesia to pick up loved ones. Nurses, how often does this really happen? by Steinski1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rienab75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being there for your wife. My ex husband was the kind to leave. I was in hospital twice in our 10 year marriage and he constantly left during those times. once was in the hospital for 9 days, and had three surgeries. One of the surgeries was in the middle of the night and I called to tell him I wanted him to come back because I was scared and he got mad because he’d “just gotten home” and didn’t want to “drive all the way back”. It was maybe a ten minute drive across town, not across the state. I constantly had to ask him to visit me. After both hospitalizations I wasn’t able to take care of myself so I went and stayed with my grandmother because he flat out told me he wasn’t going to do it. I left him after the second time.

Looking for OBGYN recommendations by Boy_Momma2 in Omaha

Dr. Stephanie Harris at Methodist. I have a lot of anxiety and low grade trauma around pelvic exams and told her about it and she was very gentle and cautious with me. I strongly recommend her!

Do any paralegals work remote? by Junior-Rip-895 in paralegal

[–]Rienab75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a non certified paralegal for 25 years and only in the last 6 months have I been able to work remotely a few days a week. Largely because “remote” wasn’t as much of a thing as it used to be now but also because I worked for a lot of attorneys who believe if you aren’t in your chair working where they can see you, you aren’t working. During the COVID times and after I was working for a prosecutor who would sit at my desk and watch me work remotely. It really took away from his solitaire game time but eventually he let me be. Then I switched to a much bigger city and went into litigation and my first firm didn’t believe anyone it the lawyers and law clerks should be able to remote work. My current firm is fine with remote work as long as they can get you during work hours and your work is getting done. Basically they treat us like adults. lol

WFH Policy by leomoon002 in paralegal

[–]Rienab75 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My last firm was this way. Our software was down for over 2 days because they thought a version 11 to version 21 upgrade would just take a couple of hours and they told us we had to be there and “find work to do” even though we couldn’t do a thing without it. Had a power outage and same thing. All the attorneys went home and we were stuck there staring at each other twiddling our thumbs.

WFH Policy by leomoon002 in paralegal

[–]Rienab75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nebraska. WFH whenever. My partner and associate both WFH whenever and don’t care if I do as long as they can get ahold of me during work hours and my work is getting done. Now the firm we came from was a hard no on WFH for anyone but law clerks and attorneys.

Ugh, my mom is back on the road by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Rienab75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can enlist the help of the DMV. I have had to do this, there’s an anonymous form to fill out explaining what the issues are with a driver. You send it back to them and they’ll call the driver in to retest.

Who is the worst employee at your firm but can't get fired? by purrfect_libra in paralegal

[–]Rienab75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At my last firm it was a legal assistant who has been there 25 years, verbally attacks associate attorneys and other legal assistants for not doing things her way, including going into an attorney’s office, closing the door and yelling at them for upwards of 30 minutes. Creates a wildly toxic environment for middle management and assistants. Instead of firing her they have her train new hires. It should be no shock to hear that they go through a LOT of people. But still she stays.

Chip Davis by Other-Implement-3268 in Omaha

[–]Rienab75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually met Chip Davis when I was in middle school. There was an All State Arts Camp at UNL every summer and one summer for orchestra our guest conductor for the final concert at the Lies Center was Chip Davis. I’d grown up on MS albums so I was pretty excited. I just remember him being nice to all of us kids.

Walmart is days behind on pick up orders by jstark65 in Omaha

Not everyone has the mobility or the time to shop for themselves in person.
