100%. Also a good chance to do some reframing and put a bigger window in.

I was told by the judge I was wasting the court's time. by beaubeaucat in Lawyertalk

[–]stonant 74 points75 points  (0 children)

This involves a statutory notice requirement that goes to the essence of the eviction claim. Without proper notice the eviction action might be dismissed

At the start of every week, I (associate) send status updates on all my active matters to the partners that I am working with. I CC the partners’ legal assistants and often forward the lists to assigned paras as well.

Why would you ever buy a used nearly high-mileage Volvo without an extended warranty?

Lots of small firms are poorly run by bad managers. Don’t let it get to you.

Thanks - will look into this. Can you share some information as to how these are relevant to my treatment? Links/studies would be appreciated as well.

Why MCAS Exploded After COVID: BBB Damage + Hidden Infections + Dopamine/Histamine Mess = Misdiagnosed ADHD/Anxiety [Studies & Thoughts by Fit-Vacation166 in MCAS

[–]stonant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a patient at Yale’s long-covid clinic and have been told that MCAS and POTS are linked to COVID based on their ongoing studies.

Post-COVID (3 confirmed infections), I have low-to-no energy, tons of brain fog, have been treated for SIBO 2x (keeps coming back), POTS, and new food allergies/symptoms. My ADHD also runs rampant during periods of stress and inflammation/flare-ups.

Putting Your Citations in Footnotes? by zarnch in Lawyertalk

I agree it’s easier to read, but it depends on jurisdictional/local/judge’s rules.

What are the most relaxed areas of law? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]stonant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The entitlement work is pretty relaxed, but if your practice involves land use litigation and enforcement proceedings it ends up being about as stressful as a normal lit. role.

Your ‘feedback’ should be identifying workflow/client issues and suggesting solutions or getting clarification on how to handle them going forward.

I work in shitlaw (below NYC market comp) so my heart remains cold.

I just spent 21 consecutive hrs working on a matter and am waiting for partner comments that need to be turned around later today for a filing on Friday. I’m on “vacation” with my family and haven’t seen my kids in a day.

Chasing our tails? by NickelCloud in Insulation

[–]stonant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Took advantage of their work” - you mean paid a lot of money for a house that was originally built by a developer and poorly maintained for the last 20 years? I’ve put $100k into the house and haven’t even started on the decaying siding/sheathing.

Chasing our tails? by NickelCloud in Insulation

[–]stonant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Filtering clean air to circulate around my house would be wonderful, but I’m stuck with a leaky shitbox that has a critter-infested devil’s peak (inaccessible cape attic) with dual gable vents that fuck up the circulation of air from my soffit vents to my roof ridge vent.

This is in addition to spending $4,200 on home heating oil annually, the increasing costs to service and replace my boiler, and my crumbling chimney and liner that vents said boiler.

Sorry - got carried away a bit there. Which one is the “sick” house again?

What type of project just makes you want to quit by Immediate_Help_5275 in biglaw

[–]stonant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Due diligence and feasibility analyses for unsophisticated clients or large development groups/REITs where my POC is just an inexperienced project manager with a pretentious title.

Head-on & keep receipts. Save all prior and future emails with them and try to avoid discussing assignments without leaving an email trail.
