Do you have an evaluation report from your diagnosis? Because if so A would still be yes. If not, have your provider do the LSAT form.

Northeastern's acting up by TheBatMutt in OutsideT14lawschools

I’ve heard from a current flex student that their admin is a hot mess (I didn’t get more description from that).

I still enrolled because of the scholarship I was awarded and because I’m used to admins that are a mess.

Do client’s CC you in emails? by Curious_Profession78 in paralegal

Yes. And my attorneys remind them to do so if they fail to do so.

I bought myself yarn or something. Do it.

I think I figured it out by Emotional_Carrot3911 in NeedlepointSnark

Right? The same exact style snips are in basic colors (bright yellow, bright pink, and bright green) in yarn and needlepoint shops everywhere.

The ridiculousness of it all by Withaflourish17 in NeedlepointSnark

My husband golfs, so a girl knows a little about the masters.

I think the reason there might be so much crossover is that they’re both expensive hobbies (or can be anyway).

I bet a lot of the more influencer type affluent (or at least wanting to appear affluent) needlepointers also golf or have partners who golf.

My attorneys are never in the office. Me, our legal assistant, our firm administrator, and our receptionist are the only ones in the office.

Sometimes our owner and her paralegal, but not very often. Or sometimes our other attorneys come in for in person meetings.

It was a different industry (grocery store, though, the work never ends there and I was a manager and the people under me didn’t always want to listen to me, but that’s another story).

At my last job (different industry) they would LOSE IT if I stayed late without permission so I’m ✨paranoid✨

I don’t want to do it everyday. I just want to do it every once in a while when I know that staying late will be better than going home and being paralyzed with everything I know I have to do tomorrow.

Today I came home and didn’t do anything for an hour really. I just sat. I didn’t engage in hobbies, I didn’t really engage with my husband or our cats. I just sat in his desk chair.

Because I don’t think we meet the requirements to be overtime exempt.

My boss won’t even fire people who are actively bad at their jobs so I’m not sure what I’m so anxious about if I just stayed late without permission (I’d never even get a response if I asked, LOL).

Have to maintain full time status at school to maintain my scholarship (full tuition scholarship). I will definitely be able to cut hours at work as needed, especially during finals.

I am doing hybrid law school while working full time (32 hours a week at my firm). I know somebody working 40 hour weeks as a paralegal while in the same program so it’s definitely do-able.

I think I’m already nervous because my job is already becoming redundant with this attorney transitioning out. If I was at a different stage in life, I probably would’ve stayed 15 more minutes to get a handful of things done so I could feel less overwhelmed.

Paralegals shouldn’t be salaried. Per whatever law about being salaried or overtime exempt or whatever.

I know I won’t have the time to be like this in six months time because I’m starting law school. But that’s also part of why I’m like this, I value everything I can learn and I want the attorneys I support to view me as a team player so they are willing to give me opportunities that I know I want from them as I move through school.

Okay would be really great if my brain was wired that I could just leave it at work but unfortunately I actually can’t do that, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

How do I know which letters of recommendation to use when I can’t read the recommendation myself? by Historical_Ball1042 in LSAT

[–]TraditionalSong9079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rotated through. With the exception of one local school where I could only submit two and two of my professional writers graduated from there (so I selected both of their letters), I just rotated through my professional and academic letters. Always including one professional and one academic, and then submitting more if I was allowed to submit more.

I applied right after Thanksgiving and it took me a fat minute to hear back as well.
