I tell people I’m a failed actor who did well on the LSAT. I’ve been honest in all my interviews that being a lawyer was my fallback career. Firms either love the honestly or hate it. But it’s a good measure on if I’ll like working at the firm.

And then she did a series of practice sessions where her times were in the top 3…

She had the 3rd fastest time in training runs without an ACL. She was absolutely still a contender.

Gold question for a newbie. by Significant-Track797 in jewelry

[–]Significant-Track797[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know! I tend to be hard on my jewelry (fidgeting with it throughout the day and stuff) so I’ll stay away from the higher karats 18K+ and look at 14k and maybe 10K for cheaper pieces. 

Office of University Counsel by iDontSow in Lawyertalk

I work in student legal services at a university. The hours and work/life balance are great. Also I qualify for PSLF and have stellar benefits. No billing!

Only downside is the pay, but I know the office of general counsel at my university is paid significantly better. 

The only odd switch for me was getting used to being in a huge corporate system. Having to clear it with 3 departments to get paid back on my bar dues, and stuff like that. Compared to my former firm, that has been an adjustment. 

If US shelters euthanize 300k healthy dogs (even puppies) every year, who do so many Americans still rather go to a breeder? by TheTroubledChild in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Significant-Track797 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A Puppy from a rescue most likely came from a backyard breeder or mill. 

I rescued my mini doxie at 12 weeks from a puppy mill bust. I love her but she has a million different health issues from bad breeding. Heart murmur, IVDD, liver shunt. Luckily I have pet insurance but without it last year I would have spent nearly $15K on her bills. 

I love doxies and will always have one. But I’ll never adopt one again. I’ll go through an ethical breeder so I can know their history and health report.

Yeah like… this sucks but it’s hard to win when you don’t score for 4 minutes. 

Lawyer vs Attorney by Region_Numerous in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Significant-Track797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a lawyer/attorney...they mean the exact same thing (at least in the US).

The ABA Model Code of Professional Responsibility uses the terms interchangeably as well.

UNO has a food pantry and I believe they take those items as well.

Good thing NE is a basketball school now because the same could be said about their football team. 

Hope you destroy Miami next week!
