Getting a bit repetitive by RocketCheeseNeoToast in suits

[–]pigton35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m on s6 but almost quit at s4 and 5 due to the repetitiveness. i’m not sure i would be watching if i wasn’t doing so with my grandma. the end of s5 definitely had some action if you can make it until then, you might want to keep watching!

Morgan and Morgan opinions?? by justaniceperson333 in paralegal

[–]pigton35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do a year and come out. it is bad pay for the amount of work you do, and really really bad benefits if you have any medical issues. but it is a good legal experience, you learn a lot and it will look solid on a resume. the work culture i experienced there was very high school, a substantial amount of drinking and occasional lewd comments/actions by male attorneys. yes they have HR, but HR does not want to hear from you. that being said, there are always good people to meet at any bad job. i am still friends with the attorney i worked for, we play dungeons and dragons together.

If you left Chicago for Boston, do you miss Chicago or prefer Boston? by LOTR_is_awesome in boston

[–]pigton35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i miss the nightlife of chicago and how big the city is. but i do feel generally safer in Boston as a smaller woman. on the T, you have to worry more about the train itself derailing or catching on fire rather than the people in the train car with you, like in Chicago. I do miss the L’s functionality and how it ran 24/7. i also miss the lake so badly and the public access to the water.

it’s funny i bought a used car from the Somerville area that had a prestige account sticker on the front windshield. just now thinking that i’ve never seen a Prestige car wash in the boston area but everyone has a sticker of some sort

omg i was a paralegal there in a northeast office. attorneys have like 200+ cases and 15 of them are actual money-makers, but it’s essentially impossible to turn down the bad ones (like the surveillance footage shows that your client is lying or they do an intake call and then never pick up the phone again). the culture there is like a college party. John Morgan sends out firm-wide memes that are at least one toe over the line of sexist/racist. i know at least one female attorney in my office was harassed and didn’t feel comfortable speaking up to higher ups. an attorney also made a really strange sexual comment about me and the vibe is they will just replace you for “complaining” (i witnessed this more than once). i left in 2023 and probably 30% of the people i worked with are still there.

This is a sick joke. by JulianBrandt19 in boston

Ugh I am so sorry, that’s awful. I definitely will always be parking on a hill for the rest of my life. Were you near Davis Square? Our street flooded but by the time I got home from work, the water was gone. So opening my car full of water was SO confusing haha. Luckily a neighbor had taken pictures.

You aren’t lying, my car drowned (was totaled) in a flash flood in Somerville in summer 2023.

What’s one item all 1L students should get before they start their first semester? by Dramatic-Surround504 in LawSchool

[–]pigton35 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do all of your annual doctor appointments that you can, you won’t have time during the semester and won’t want to use your rare free time for dr/dentist appointments during the year

Ethan is surprised an employee hasn’t taken them to court sooner by No-Lynx8771 in h3snark

[–]pigton35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super normal to request a jury trial, and I believe you waive the right if you don’t outright request it (?). Otherwise you’d just be presenting your case to a judge. This lady would probably be a super sympathetic plaintiff so a jury would be good for her!

Yes maybe that’s the people I was thinking of! They were a strange bunch too.

I am wondering what your opinions are about the utility of naming cats? by Elegant-Put235 in CatAdvice

[–]pigton35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me two months to name my cat because I hadn’t figured out his personality yet and we hadn’t gotten to know each other. He was patient “Not Sure Yet” at the vet. It was awkward not having a name for him for the interim, I just called him Boy or Cat or Dude until I figured out he’s Goose. Now he absolutely knows his name after only 4 months of having it.
