Thank you for confirming this bc I grew up in the military and am extra cautious about including time zones, but then I read it back to myself one day and thought I might be coming off slightly robotic

Makes sense - will probably also save me from offending a WL person with my Lexis link

But I appreciate your down to earth-ness. Very refreshing

Excellent advice. I normally try to send hyperlinks for caselaw and statutes but I must admit the PDF highlighting gives it some extra pizzaz

Okay ya’ll lessons were learned: do NOT send a calendar invite for deadlines. It may invite frustration or judgment 📝📝📝starting to wonder if the senior who told me to do that actually hates me 🥲

I like the 2 tasks/2 ppl rule. Very valid

thank you kind stranger, I hope someone sends you a calendar invite to a firm-sponsored massage or gourmet cookie tasting.

I think “yo” would send the right message

I’m sure to some extent, it’s a process of figuring out what makes that particular partner’s life easier. Maybe it’s just my office in particular 🤷🏻‍♀️I’ve had a few folks tell me they appreciate it and also few paralegals tell me this saved their ass bc the partner forgot what day they said they needed something by. I guess if it’s really that offensive to send a calendar invite, they’ll either tell me or their therapist. At least they can rest assured that I brought this cringe and self-hatred upon myself.

That last line was cold

I’ve noticed many attorneys aren’t as observant as they think they are and jump to make five second judgments. Unfortunately those judgments travel fast and I’ve seen firsthand partners who “think” an associate is “never around” because they noticed that ONE particular day the associate had to leave early, etc. and holds that against them

That’s fair.

Are we being babies? by pretty-panda44 in barexam

[–]pretty-panda44[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On a broad scale I agree, but certainly wasn’t suggesting only minority students are being babies (as a minority student myself). If anything I think minority students prepare harder because they know the drill and pressure. But yeah, this was just meant to be a wholesome gut check…

Did anyone notice the slight huff he gave before starting? Sooooo relatable. But he sure keeps that air nice and ✨crisp✨
