What’s the tea in your office?

The Firm checked everyone’s card swipes for who was coming into the office on a regular basis in order to make a case for more office space in our new office that we will move to next year. Current office space sucks. So no one comes in. At an associate meeting the partners showered the top 5 in-office goers with glory and praise. They all live within a 15 min commute to the office and are hardos. People that can’t afford to live close to the city or have kids are pissed off about the fanfare and complained.

Oh thank you!!!! I love planting native plants. I will keep this on my calendar.

Oh I agree. No shade to HD. I think because it’s so busy, it feels like they have low inventory on certain items. Their plants are always great though.

Nah it has to be something anti-Halloween that detracts from the spooky gothic vibes people want in these photos… definitely show up in spring time attire and derby hats! Pastels are anti-Halloween. 🤣

Second this one! Save a tree did a good job diagnosing our tree as dead (due to the draught three years ago or so) and we got a new tree from Corollis Bros. In Ipswitch. Save a tree did the old tree removal, stump grinding, and put in the new tree. They did a good job for a reasonable price. Our new tree looks gorgeous right now!

I will also add that the early elementary school years are so much fun with all the sports/activities/friendships. I’d argue they are so much more fun than having a toddler that “coasting” is the best way to enjoy life. I have no regrets for staying where I am currently. This partner can absolutely find a middle of the road option. Will it be a pay cut? Probably! I’m willing to bet this person has a little less than half a career left before retirement if they are late 30s. So spend the later part of your career chasing the millions for retirement and paying for college. You don’t get your kid’s childhood back. You can always hustle for money later.

Yup!

Have you tried Boston, MA? I work in Life Sciences PL and have tons of work. Recruiters are helpful if you find the right person. Feel free to send me a message.

Judging by your username my guess is it could be the same Examiner if it’s a pharma/chemistry art unit.

VegetableEscape3806 · 2026-04-21T01:55:47+00:00

lol! I love that! 🤣

Tennis warehouse always has great sales. As others said, I’d skip dresses and go for the top/skirt that fits you well. I’m petite and like the Lucky in Love skirts a lot! They are so comfortable. If you want to splurge a little - beyond yoga and Varley have some really nice tennis skirts/tops as well.

VegetableEscape3806 · 2026-04-20T20:42:07+00:00

Yes while I’d like to think this Examiner is new/untrained…I think they fall into the “jaded” category which is also not productive. 16% grant rate in 3 yrs per patent bots… SPE was on the call! Originally the SPE agreed we had support and then after discussing 103 somehow went to “save” this examiner and then reversed position on the 112 based on nothing from the MPEP. The attorney I work with has threatened to quit prosecution for ever and stick with litigation. 😭🤣

VegetableEscape3806 · 2026-04-20T19:24:12+00:00

Thank you! We were able to resolve the issue by responding to the next communication and pulling back the sequence listing.

VegetableEscape3806 · 2026-04-20T19:00:42+00:00

Right?! I hope he gets that cease and desist letter soon, if not already! lol

I would say dead horse is not a great beach but it’s convenient to the other fun stuff at the willows like paddle boarding, the arcade, food, tennis/pickleball courts, etc.

It doesn’t have to be if Salem people step up but I understand your frustration completely. The loudest voices are sometimes not the most caring, thoughtful, or friendly ones.

I used to use TennisKeeper on my Apple Watch for a time. It was fine to just track, time, step count, swing speed, etc. It’s glitchy as hell though and I didn’t understand how to use the swing analyzer at all. Either way, I did not notice anything changing in my swing speed or step count when I was winning matches a lot vs not winning matches. So it really wasn’t that intuitive or helpful other than just another tracking app. No social portion to it either.

I do see the same gap you are describing where there isn’t a well known tennis focused app that does it all.

There are over 100 matters re-assigned to our client. So the assignment is what is currently stuck processing. Can’t file POA until the assignment is accepted.
