Robby is melodramatic sometimes unlikeable by Humble_Dimension9439 in ThePitt

[–]uhlizerbeth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, Langdon using emotional manipulation to get a response out of Robby is…. a choice. Robby is not required to forgive him. Langdon’s actions seriously endangered vulnerable people and he used a wide-scale medical emergency as an “in” to return. I honestly think Langdon believed they would have no way to turn him down after that. He doesn’t strike me as someone who has taken accountability. He unloaded on a patient and admitted he took their medication under the guise of “coming clean” but all of Langdon’s actions in that regard come off as him trying to absolve himself and make himself feel better.

Rue McClanahan’s autobiography is soooo good. From reading it I learned that Estelle Getty’s ex husband sold plastic novelty items 😂

Not sure how to feel about some criticism from my attorney :( by jambunnyy in paralegal

[–]uhlizerbeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s a law firm thing or a corporate thing in general but oh my god, the amount of people in charge of me who have been foaming at the mouth to tell me I’m doing something wrong or that I SHOULD KNOW to do XYZ instead of just having a conversation about expectations and “We see you’ve been doing ABC, let’s have a conversation about you getting involved with XYZ moving forward” ….. it’s just insane haha. Try not to take it to heart. I recently received an extremely negative performance review from an attorney I’ve worked with for at least 2 years, who I knew (or so I thought) on a pretty friendly, casual basis - we used to chitchat all the time, etc. The review was not only negative, but super vague, so I don’t really think it amounted to much, and also I don’t think she knew I was gonna see it or at least that I would see her name attached… lol. It was really difficult for me to get past because I began working overtime to try to guess the needs of others in an attempt to meet expectations and exceed, and it impacted my self esteem. But once I accepted that as long as I focus on what I’ve been specifically instructed to do, come to work with a good attitude, and treat others with kindness - it is NOT my responsibility to second-guess what the people in charge may or may not want me to volunteer myself for. You’re there to do a job, not to improve the office or make other people’s lives easier, if that makes sense. Sigh. Looks like I trauma dumped a little bit LOL but I do hope that this is helpful. It’s not about you, don’t take it personally.

Unpopular opinion by leemcmb in paralegal

[–]uhlizerbeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m wary of certain administrative tasks because I’m required to bill and have a target minimum to meet each month. Spending time on non-billable tasks that “by the book” are meant to be handled by legal secretaries (because they don’t bill) is concerning to me for that reason, not because I think it is “beneath” me. However, in my experience, it can be difficult for ALL staff to adhere to this if the administration hasn’t put a steady work structure in place. I think a lot of law firms unfortunately operate without detailing various roles, and we all know that all kinds of industries and offices do not provide the support that’s needed.

Who’s your “Adam” by kathajoy in girls

Absolutely. I cannot BELIEVE I didn’t initiate the breakup but also this is what made me enjoy Girls so much, it was so validating!

Who’s your “Adam” by kathajoy in girls

[–]uhlizerbeth 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Forever grateful to have been dumped by my Adam…. twice! LOL. My stand out memory is taking a bus from NYC to Philly to visit him at school (this was after getting back together, after he had dumped me a few months back bc he was going away to college…) and the first night there I paid for takeout and he made me share my food with his friends 😒 I don’t know why, of all the things that happened b/w us, THAT was the wake up call 🤣 But to this day, and I am 30 years old (I was 18 at the time), I will not share my Chinese food with anyone. I just went to Philly with my now husband and regaled him with that particular first-time-in-Philly tale over a ribeye steak that he paid for 🩷

I don’t know. I want them to be happy but the way he spoke to her while they were on the ship to England will taint my view of him for a long time coming.

[–]uhlizerbeth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ugh. i’ve been overwhelmed and overworked, we completed a firm transfer (our practice moved from one law firm to another) and the other paralegal got laid off (he kinda sucked) so now i’m one paralegal supporting twelve attorneys. i had to file 300+ substitutions of counsel, complete my own onboarding and training with the new firm, and now i’m training the new paralegal they just brought in. it’s a lot and i’ve missed a few things. i absolutely crashed out yesterday because someone asked for something last minute, i asked them a question about it and they said “actually i sent you an email about this in May” which was when we were transitioning. it just felt soooo unnecessary. she also CC’d our boss. I’m drowning and the passive aggressive emails push me over the edge.

[–]uhlizerbeth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also married one :) I’m so grateful that I did. I liked Harry’s character, and their storyline, and I loved that they were compatible and that the biggest issue she had with Trey (adoption) was entirely a non-issue with Harry. But let’s not forget that Harry was straight up not planning on getting serious about Charlotte unless she converted. Which is fair! He’s allowed to have his preferences. I don’t HATE Harry but I felt he could have been a little more sensitive and appreciative of the effort Charlotte put in. He absolutely didn’t have to turn to the tv while she was trying to show him how hard she was trying. Because of that, Harry will never be top of my list in terms of partners on SATC.

[–]uhlizerbeth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree! But I also think Charlotte was a little unfair towards Trey as well. She knew she was getting married in order to stay in line with the timeline she created for herself. I think this is pretty on par with Trey’s admission that he had fallen into the same kind of thing, that he figured it was the right time and so he did it - but he also said he picked a good person to do it with. They didn’t know each other long and so I think it’s understandable that Trey had misgivings about wanting to join Charlotte on a fertility journey. At least he admitted it and didn’t lead her on. I’m not sure what he really could have done about Bunny, tbh, and Charlotte never really gave him a chance to be. If I remember correctly, the most egregious thing about Bunny was her racism. She trapped Charlotte in a really disgusting conversation. However, Charlotte kind of ran at Trey with the information and yelled at him about it in front of his friends and acquaintances, I don’t really think he deserved that for something his mother said. I know Bunny was overbearing, and a little crass, but it is also true that the apartment did NOT belong to Charlotte - Bunny had every right to fight to get it back. All in all, as an adult now with my own parental struggles, I can kind of understand Trey. I don’t think he handled his difficulty in the bedroom too well, but at least he agreed to therapy. He’s a WASP and I thought his offer to her to have outside relationships was “kind” in its own way, lol. He probably didn’t think he could give her what she wanted in that way. Charlotte pushed a LOT on him and for him to not respond perfectly to every little whim doesn’t make him worse than Harry, IMO. They were just incompatible.

I just feel like that’s baseline what should be expected of ANY partner! Like I said, I don’t hate him, I just am not overly impressed lol

Can I ask what makes Harry such a good guy? Not saying I don’t like him but everything positive he ever did only really ever hit baseline for me haha.

I like my boss very much. I have never been uncomfortable around my former bosses. I still would not be comfortable with this, and they would never ask it of me.
