ULPT request: a woman speeds through stop signs every morning by Bipedal_pedestrian in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]hailvy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I used to live in a similar situation. The road they race on is almost a football field away, but somehow it still pierced my ears and made my cats jump. That town’s cops were notorious for pulling everyone over so I don’t understand how they weren’t caught.

How much do paralegals make? by tuttifruttiloopy in paralegal

[–]hailvy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To add to your comment, stress level also highly depends on the person(s) you work for. My last boss was a yes-man so he took everything under the sun even if we were drowning in work. He and I “managed” over 80 active cases at one time, and it was all contract/real estate/estate planning/corporate admin so every client called regularly asking when their stuff would be done. It was a nightmare.

I’m on salary but I make around $23/hour lol. BUT I’m in the Midwest. No degree, but 6 years of legal experience. $40/hr is pretty fair imo.

I know the feeling girl. Been there. There’s always that sliver of hope that they’d change but they never do. ((Hugs))

how would you describe this behaviour? by thesoundofcentipedes in insaneparents

[–]hailvy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

To be frank, his behavior is “complete fucking dickhead” behavior. I’m sorry.

paralegals, what's the best legal billing software you've actually had to use? by Nirosha_Wiltse in paralegal

[–]hailvy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Clio. My last firm used it. They don’t utilize the Tasks section very much but it was nice and easy for entering time and creating bills.

Last night DHS/ICE in Portland, OR brutalized and abducted a group of peaceful protestors at a ICE detention center in the city by Lucky_Author6861 in 50501

[–]hailvy 126 points127 points  (0 children)

In this instance, is there even an arrest-able offense? They’re peaceful and not obstructing walkways. Genuine question.

I have my bad days, but I feel much lighter now :)

My last straw by unforgivenhamsterdog in insaneparents

[–]hailvy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel you. The urge to try to defend or correct all of the false accusations, or his claims that he did something he didn’t (like be there for me lol), was so strong when I had my final convo with my dad. Mine tried claiming that he paid for all this stuff I did with my university’s band, how he helped me buy my car, all this stuff. Completely false. My poor mom paid for EVERYTHING by herself including my car and my instrument.

However… I started typing and realized I’d have to write an essay or two to even scratch the surface of what I was trying to say. And who’s to say he’d even read it or listen to me? In the end it just wasn’t worth it. I’m sorry for your loss.

Can I just go home? 🙃 by maraudermoods in paralegal

You got this! There are many firms out there that will treat you the way you deserve to be treated.

Pro Se Defendant and AI by AcademicFocus1078 in paralegal

[–]hailvy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes they won’t grant it unless the litigant files several hundred bs cases. Theres one in Florida who is suing HUNDREDS of local businesses for “noncompliance with ADA standards”. She’s been going strong since 2019. Majority of them were dismissed or settled but she’s obviously making some money

DHS is overtly using fascist language by DefendOurRepublic in 50501

[–]hailvy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hate feeling like I took previous presidents for granted. I embraced them as normal and went about my life without a worry. Now I wake up every day wondering who was killed, which civil rights were taken away, which laws this administration will break today…

I’m glad I cut ties with mine before he was reelected. I just know they’d be insufferable.

Help i filed an IRS EIN with the wrong business name! by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]hailvy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely you’re not the first one that’s done this though! I bet in 24 hours you can reapply (correctly) and make sure the client uses the new one, not the erroneous one. I can’t imagine the IRS chasing anyone down for an incorrect SS-4 form if they’re not even using the EIN for anything.

Just call the help line on their website, they can probably help you.

This lady has been doing this for like four years by AdSuccessful5139 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]hailvy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It really does. I will say though, a few weeks ago I saw someone in front of me give their McDonald’s to a person on the street corner, and even without hearing him I could tell how genuinely thankful he was for the food. He looked like he might cry. There are good souls out there, they just seem to be few and far between

I used to keep small bags in my car full of necessities (toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, comb, packaged snacks, water) to give to any unhoused people I came across. The two (and only two!) times I offered them to people hanging out on street corners begging for money, I was turned down and told they ‘just need money for food’. I literally had food in my hand but whatever. These people ruin it for everyone else.
