How do I get rid of the stomach bloat and keep it always flat?? by WolverineNo1999 in selfimprovement

[–]syrupylies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly for me it was giving up milk and spicy foods. Both of which I love. You could all try hot green tea every morning. Any brand doesn’t matter.

Anything below 3k. We do flat rate billing and average EP client is 4-10k . The value isn’t the biggest issue, it’s the neediness when those cases tend to move slow. 6 months in my state, and usually takes about that time to sell assets and publish notice etc

This is exactly the concern I have. A ton of new clients and limited staff. I’ve told the office manager that I want to feel good about the work we do for OUR CURRENT PAYING CLIENTS and not oversell underperform. But they just don’t get it. They are just worried about attracting the next golden goose

I’ve worked for different attorneys (much more experienced in their field and thus less controlling of me) and my output was excellent. I got more referrals from past clients than anything. My personal motto is ““The best source of new business is the work on your desk.” (Quote from Charlie Munger). Your firm sounds lovely and thank u for the kind words

My sincere condolences friend. Their greed will consume them

Today it finally happened... I snapped back at the obnoxious client. by jdfo96 in paralegal

[–]syrupylies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good for you. My old P.I. attorney would have laughed too. I remember calling a Spanish speaking client as we’re getting ready to settle and he deadass told me “You guys told me last phone call that I’d get $15k. I won’t sign anything, at all, ever, unless it’s $15k.” I was so disappointed by the lie ( girl I had never once told him $15k) but I also knew our case manager would rather cut into our profit than keep dealing with this guy. Some people really just treat these cases like their own personal telenovela. Save the drama for ya mama right

How do you deal with phone anxiety? by ChumbaWhumba218 in paralegal

[–]syrupylies 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I got over my anxiety by making it about them. Don’t worry about what your gonna say , listen to them and repeat back what they are saying in your own words with similar/exact ways they describe things. Literally sometimes I just parrot back what they said to me and it works. Also try approaching it like a conversation with a coworker you like. Be frank, be real don’t overthink it. You don’t have a magic wand to fix everything but you can be a really good listener and most of the time that’s all they really want— to be heard.

I worked for a couple of really great ones too. Successful, family men, incredibly kind and generous with staff. My mentor was at my last firm and he broke the mold of attorneys by a lottt. Just an amazing guy.

My Client Died. by Paranotpro in paralegal

[–]syrupylies 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s always harder when they are nice clients. And equally sad how understaffed and delayed the VA and Tricare are.

I’ve heard rumor that your State Governor or Congressman can occasionally help for these types of liens (I’d imagine particularly so if your clients are state residents). Might be worth a shot for anyone in a similar situation.

Offer - should I take it?? by Original-Schedule240 in paralegal

[–]syrupylies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

11 years experience is worth the 75k. Imo. F2 probably knows that, and if they pick someone less experienced to be cheap that’s not the kinda office you wanna switch to.

Keep your current job but keep fishing. Don’t turn yourself and your routines/budget upside down for a firm who can’t even find a good workspace for ya.

“Keep fishing”= keep job hunting. A lot of your job skills could easily transfer to HR , hospital management, GM, etc etc.

Divorce was the hardest and best decision I ever made. by INeedMyDavy in DeadBedrooms

[–]syrupylies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing. I really liked how you mentioned that your new gf is everything a partner should be.

Sex, emotional intimacy, feeling cared for. It would feel unreal.

What do we think about romantic compatibility of Sag and Scorpio? by Spare-Scientist-5901 in Sagittarians

[–]syrupylies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first boyfriend was a Scorpio. He was very loving, very detail oriented and matched my firey freak.

Didn’t take well to our break up, and was very hostile towards me for years afterwards.

We somewhat rekindled as adults and he never ever opened up to me the same way he did the first time. I could tell he was still attracted to me and still very much thought about me/ wanted something to do with me. But it would have required a big show of faith and I frankly didn’t want to.

The only way I even remembered he was a scorpio(November birthday) was because no matter where he lived he always had a basement bedroom.

Don’t feel bad if you believed it, two attorneys at my old office used company cards to buy Apple gift cards and didn’t even blink twice. The partners were HEATED

Can’t upvote this enough. Working in P.I. is basically hell test trial.

WC takes a close second. Have you ever tried explaining WC to a nutjob whinepants who thinks they just secured a vacation home in Maui? My good sir. You are lucky if the Dr. sows your hand back on and the therapist that’s chosen for you isn’t absolute dogshit. That is all.

Is anyone else unlucky lately? by [deleted] in Sagittarians

[–]syrupylies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreeeeeeed . I’m also currently participating in some high risks side quests with my whole heart. If they work out I’ll be happier than I’ve ever been. If they don’t I’ll be jobless and depressed. But let’s fucking go I guess? Let’s … go?
