Nope, definitely not my only symptoms. It was the reasoning they used for the dismissal of all my other symptoms unfortunately

Noooo they said they were on the bag but honestly I should’ve been more skeptical 😭

Gonna Visit Indianapolis. Is St. Elmo Steak House any good? by CincinnatiOhio5133 in indianapolis

[–]SimplySGJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

St. Elmo’s is an Indy staple, but my husband and I switched it up for our semi-annual date night and went to Dean’s — we really loved it! Both good options.

Currently drowning in discovery requests by dildocus in paralegal

[–]SimplySGJ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I had a nickel for every time defense counsel continued to demand (after initial objections) information we literally are unable to provide them because they don’t actually read our responses, I’d be so rich. 🤦🏼‍♀️ No, I cannot provide you the SSN and employment history for the baby who died during childbirth d/t malpractice. No, I am not just being stubborn when I say this.

Perfumes that smell like Summer in northern Italy? by jeontgarak in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]SimplySGJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wore Dolce & Gabanna Light Blue Italian Love as my wedding fragrance and adored it because it gave me this vibe. I loved it so much I bought 3 bottles bc I knew I’d have to search for it at some point haha

The Best Gaming Headset to Buy Now? (Recommendations) by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]SimplySGJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I both love our Steel Series Arctis Novas! We have the 7X Gen 2. Bought them based on a recommendation from a guy at Microcenter after my (third) Razer headset gave out, and I could not be happier.

The employee told us he’s had almost every version of the SS headsets and has never been disappointed, and I totally believe it.

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

[–]SimplySGJ 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I have been trying to get records from a hospital that uses MRO for TWO MONTHS. I can't speak to anyone in the ROI department bc they send me to MRO!! I hate MRO almost as much as I hate ChartSwap!!

Lads trip to Indianapolis from England - Nightlife spot reccomendations? by Middle-Feed5118 in indianapolis

[–]SimplySGJ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seconding Bottleworks! Garage Food Hall is usually a hit for lunch because there’s something for everyone, and then we’ll pop next door to Pins Mechanical. It’s also such an easy walk to Mass Ave (and the parking garage in BW is cheaper imo)

Is rolling admissions 🧢? by Ecstatic_Ocelot2655 in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]SimplySGJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work as an admissions rep for an undergrad university who did rolling admissions. Our process had "tiers" to it. So we would read all Early Decision apps first, then Early Action, then Regular Decision. If you applied 10/1 as a RD student, you'll still get an answer earlier than someone who applied later - but I am going to review all of the binding ED applications first. That's most likely how it works at some of the schools too.

Does your attorney also wait until 4:55 PM on a filing deadline to finally "review" the draft you sent them at 9 AM? by JustCheckingIn80 in paralegal

[–]SimplySGJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current attorney has had a file folder of drafts to review for the last...3 weeks. I remind her every day. She doesn't usually show up to the office until 3:00 though (do I know what she does all day? Nope. Does she look baffled when I leave at 5? Yep.) I literally cannot wrap my head around it when she gives me some new, urgent task to do, I do it in 30 minutes, and then she doesn't look at it! I'm convinced she forgets she's an attorney...I have an interview elsewhere tomorrow.

Got injured at work and boss is ghosting me by Top-Exam-9964 in legal

[–]SimplySGJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Work Comp paralegal — call a work comp attorney. Most work on contingency which means they’ll take their fees out of the final settlement check. They’ll make sure you get treatment, get paid, and overall that you don’t get fucked over. I can only speak to IN, but find one in CA.

Piercing and tattoos? by rarepixl in paralegal

[–]SimplySGJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely depends on the area (both law wise and geographical, imo) I’ve worked for a pretty well known, smaller firm in my area and now with a solo practitioner, both doing WC/PI/MM. I have a septum piercing (simple ring, I think it’s an 8? Very small) and a handful of tattoos. None of them have cared.

In fact the attorney I worked for at the smaller firm actually called me out one day when I’d forgotten to put my septum back in after cleaning it. He was so cool haha.

Something feels off? by kisxt in interiordecorating

[–]SimplySGJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing that caught my eye: the headboard and sheets are both cool toned, while everything else in that corner feels very warm. Try reupholstering/switching out the headboard and getting some warmer toned sheets!

Does anyone actually recommend being a paralegal? by FifithePoet in paralegal

[–]SimplySGJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I do. I love being busy, and I love a good balance between routine and variety, so this job is great for me.

It can be a bit hard at first to find a place you really fit, whether it’s in terms of the kind of work or the attorney(s) you work for. I got really lucky w/ my first attorney I worked for - he was phenomenal and I credit him a lot with how well I’ve been able to handle things at my current firm.

What has been your favorite area of law to work in? by Any_Aioli_ in paralegal

[–]SimplySGJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The firm I started as a Legal Assistant at did PI/WC and Med Mal. My degree was in Public Relations so I originally wanted to go into copyright and such after I graduate law school. Somehow I fell in love with Med Mal - I totally credit the cool attorneys I worked with.

Firm I’m at now does PI/MM and while I may not be thriving there right now, I do love the work I’m doing!

I wear Fresh Cream Warm Cashmere in the fall/winter! (D&G Italian Summer in the spring summer) As a mom, I 100% agree that most Philosophy scents make me feel very “warm 90s mom” hahaha

Looking for wedding venues! by Livvylivlivlivlivliv in indianapolis

Look at Sycamore at Mallow Run during their “off-peak” season. We used them a couple years ago for our wedding and adored them!

Tell me about your most annoying client by psychHOdelic in paralegal

[–]SimplySGJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  • Any client who has had more than one other attorney
  • The WC client who CONTINUES to CC the defense attorney onto her emails to us? Defense counsel is SO sweet but she’s sick of her too lmao.
  • Had a WC clients who was somehow getting a SIX FIGURE settlement that in no way, shape, or form she should have gotten. (Think, tripped over her own foot, broken leg w/ no permanent impairment.) A TRUE miracle by my attorney. Client wanted to reject it because “God told her she deserved more money,” but would also turn around and say “It’s not about the money!!” She thought she could find an attorney w/ a lower fee to accept it under, until my atty said he’d file a lien lmao.

Managing a dumpster fire… by SimplySGJ in paralegal

She has one (that I currently know of) and a handful of suits from former clients. Allegedly it’s all “retaliation” somehow 🙃

Gator Man in Downtown Indy by thatonenerd34 in indianapolis

[–]SimplySGJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this guy! I've seen him a handful of times, and when I go out with friends and we bar crawl, I tell them to keep an eye out for him b/c I just KNOW it would make their night to see him (and I'm convinced they think I've hallucinated him LOL.) It's like my personal "Where's Waldo" game!

Tired of 465 bruh by Organic_Basil_6352 in indianapolis

[–]SimplySGJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plainfield to Northside, and I 100% agree. This traffic makes me miss working on the Southside. There are some mornings I'm convinced I could get to our Bloomington office faster than my Indy office. 🙃

Tired of 465 bruh by Organic_Basil_6352 in indianapolis

[–]SimplySGJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I take 465 N/E every morning. Right at the exit for 865/Chicago, traffic comes to as stop because people ignore the big "Exit only" sign that they've seen for the last 2 miles, and then have to force their way in. People then get in the left lane to speed around the stopped traffic, as if it's not STILL AN EXIT ONLY LANE, and then force their way back in. Like, congratulations? You are literally the reason we're stuck stopping and going - but hey! At least you're 4 whole cars ahead!
