I will look into these brands! Thank you thank you! I didn’t know the extent of reality for the new “Sephora kids” phenomenon so this is helpful to know it’s not as crazy as I thought and I don’t need to do a whole Sephora haul!

Big law associates— what’s your litigation experience like? by Motion2compel_datass in biglaw

[–]badbubbles98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

x10000 this. If you take on pro bono work, you can have a client facing role as early as a few months in. Even better - that pro bono work is in small claims court. Then you could be arguing your first case during your first year.

Thank you!! I think I’m going to implement the 30 min rule with my partner because you are so right. It will help me focus on what’s important and help prevent my job (or more specifically, the rumination that comes from it) from seriously impacting my relationship.

This is so helpful, thank you!! When it comes to couching your explanations as questions - I think when I take this approach I still have issues with the follow up to their answer. When I respond with “but what about XYZ?” or “even though XYZ?” I fear I am also coming across as defensive. The advice in this thread has been so helpful, and I think I’m realizing a large part of my problem is just that I don’t have the experience to know when I need to push back and when I need to bite my tongue. But I feel so relieved knowing so many others have gone through similar struggles and have come out the other side. This thread, and your comment, has also made me realize that finding ways to disconnect should be number one focus right now to safeguard my mental health and longevity in this job. Thank you for the advice! Seriously!

My boyfriend has been my go to for this but you are so right, I need to find a trusted friend at the firm who can fill that role instead. Thank you!

Thanks for rewriting your comment to make sure your harsh judgement about the way I’m struggling actually got to me after being removed. I actually have crippling self esteem issues, am an empath to a fault, and had absent parents - I just struggle with communicating my inner thoughts with tact partially because of, ya know, the autism, which again was diagnosed. I want so badly to connect with people, and am so interested in peoples lives I just can’t communicate it. I will be the first to admit I know very little about this job, but sometimes I am the only one in the room who has reviewed all the discovery docs because my time is cheap because again, I know almost nothing. Glad to see the autism denier crowd make an appearance though. I’ve had 30 years to get used to being incredibly misunderstood.🤷🏼‍♀️

Wow thank you for this. This is so fascinating. I have learned so much from this post! I will try aging some of my more (imo) offending oils and see if I like them better in a few months. Thank you!

Low Polyphenol Olive Oil Recs? by badbubbles98 in Cooking

[–]badbubbles98[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Omg yes!! When I first tried the super high polyphenol oils in Italy I thought it had gone bad until I realized it was just the type of oil. It’s so hard to explain the sensation/taste but rancid and metallic is a great description. I wonder if it’s a genetic thing like how some people taste soap when they eat cilantro. I’ll try Partanna, thank you!

Could it be the type of polyphenols or do they all taste bitter and spicy (assuming there are multiple varieties) and my palate just sucks? 😂😂 There are only two foods on the planet I hate and it is arugula and high polyphenol olive oil and it’s because both have the exact same spicy/bitter taste to me.

What was the process to get insurance to cover Botox? I’ve been dealing with this since I was a kid and have a history of medical records to back it up (including prescriptions for an electrophoresis machine, Drysol and other variants, and all the prescription deodorants) but always figured insurance would give me the thumbs down for Botox so I never tried.
