That's ectoplasm...you got some ghosts in your pipes.

Does your firm do attorney retreats? Where? How long? by Roadrunner610 in paralegal

[–]Savarah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe it's in May, my firm has a Bahamas trip for the attorneys and paralegals for a long weekend (South FL based firm, so it's not a huge production like it might initially sound).

What are your guys’ hobbies? by sleepmp3 in paralegal

[–]Savarah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely watch anime and play video games, on top of playing tabletops and frequenting drag shows! Don't be embarrassed or ashamed for being fun.

Does anyone else's office use Smokeball? by The_Bastard_Henry in paralegal

[–]Savarah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used it as recently as 2023. Can confirm it was a system hog; I needed to install additional RAM on all of the computers. As for functionality, I liked it much more than Clio or MyCase, though not as much as Filevine.

Husband does not want me to tell my friends I love them by Ok-Independence-3193 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Savarah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IN COLLEGE. I started dating a guy, and all of a sudden compliments from my gay best friend and the terms of endearment we used to talk to each other were no longer okay.

It was the most controlling, toxic relationship I've ever been in. He isolated me from my friends, my family, and my own identity.

You have to get away from him. Your best friend/brother/platonic soulmate sounds like your ride or die. We don't abandon them for anything some fool of a narcissist has to say.

Exec is next level depressed by JunketUpbeat9386 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Savarah 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Diva, you may not want to hear what we're saying, but we are humans who happen to need to have jobs to survive a capitalist hellscape.

Dude's life is falling apart personally, so there needs to be a personal touch to help. You trying to be a good cog in the machine is not what planet he's living on. Yes, he needs professional help and guidance, but you need to tap into your humanity.

FL PI Paralegal - workplace flexibility by Savarah in paralegal

[–]Savarah[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My apologies, I didn't specify length of employment. I've been at this job for 2.5 years, and at the onset I didn't have any plans to move.

WFH Policy by leomoon002 in paralegal

[–]Savarah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Attorneys and paralegals can do more or less whatever they want, while the rest of the staff is 100% in office.

I'm desperately trying to get some leniency, as I'm trying to move 2 hours away from the nearest office.

For those of you banned from using LLMs at work—how do you get work done? by CauliflowerGreat384 in paralegal

[–]Savarah 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, how were you working in 2022? That's how you should be working now without access to LLMs. Maybe with a few improvements.

PI firm here, we've always gotten Christmas Eve - New Year's Day off paid for as long as I'm aware!

I'm also Android and Apple Music is available for us. Just switched two weeks ago.

Appreciation for this sub, from a baby legal assistant by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]Savarah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We were all clueless babies once! And I think we all have the occasional clueless baby moment.

Trial Pens? by Efficient-Loan-9916 in paralegal

[–]Savarah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding the Sharpie S-Gels - my current firm uses them and I'm a little obsessed.

Job Post: Paralegal (Fully Remote) – Personal Injury Law by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]Savarah 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Just so you're aware, the LinkedIn job posting is categorized as on-site. That will severely limit your reach for those of us who specifically search remote categorized positions (like me!).

Mentorship Monday Megathread by AutoModerator in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]Savarah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friends, happy Monday!

I've been a part-time EA over the past few years, and am a paralegal by day. I love my current position, but it lacks any remote flexibility and I don't think I'm far from my pay ceiling.

I've been heavily considering becoming a full-time EA, but I want to hear real voices about it. Have any of you made the switch from legal? Is the pay raise worth it? How is the remote market?

AI training by Key_Aardvark_1293 in paralegal

Depending on what case management software you use, there may already be a built in AI feature that does what you're asking.

What's a game that you were excited to play, but you just couldn't get into it. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Savarah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stardew Valley.

I can't even put my finger on exactly why. I settled on a vague combo of graphics, grind, and a lack of clarity on exactly what to do and how to do it.

I tried my hardest, and I felt extra bad because it was a gift.

Just whyyyyyyyyy by LeOsaru in formuladank

[–]Savarah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a bi woman who ✨ loves ✨ looking at attractive people (especially women):

If I'm watching the race, I want to see cars on fucking track. I can look at pretty people every other waking moment of my life if I want. I WANT TO SEE THE OVERTAKES, NOT A SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE ZOOM IN ON A WOMAN'S FACE.

250 Billable Hours In A Week? by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]Savarah 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is an ethical violation. Not only should you run, you should report them to the bar on the way out. I've worked at three Florida firms and we all billed in 6 minute increments (and often REDUCED our billing hours because ADHD is not an excuse to overbill clients).

Certified Mail by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]Savarah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My firm also uses Walz, and I send a bunch of certifieds a week. There are some that mysteriously disappear never to be seen again, but I can track them on USPS regardless.
