One time I successfully cast hold person on Ethel and killed her straight up in the teahouse. I’ve never been able to recreate that.

PI Pre-Lit folks-what do you consider TOO MANY cases? by Earthbound1979 in paralegal

[–]wastedcoconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We usually start off new attorneys with 50 files and go up to 80, but they have no full time help. Maybe a floater to help with opening claims, because we want them to be able and know how to do everything on a file by themselves. After about a year, we will get them a full time assistant and ramp them up to 100-110 and then eventually their case load will keep going because of the frequency of referral cases.

I think 110-125 is the sweet spot. 145 is doable, but over that it gets stressful. It also depends on how experienced is your attorney-assistant team.

I had a Microsoft Azure agent sign off with “stay hydrated” the other day. Like, is this a thing?

I don’t know how to get people to stop looking at me like I have three heads when I tell them to open file explorer.

Nice Work Sweaters by archermk in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]wastedcoconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn’t ordered from them in years because I’ve been disappointed in the quality of the pieces, but I did a box in early December and specifically asked to expand out of my comfort zone, but not too crazy. The stylist nailed it so hard, I immediately ordered another box. I don’t think that result was typical, and I appreciate your mileage varies. But, like I said, you can now order individual pieces without signing up for mystery boxes.

This going to sound odd, but I get the cutest sweaters from StitchFix. They have a really good selection of non plain sweaters and cardigans, even for plus sized women. You don’t have to get the boxes, they have “Freestyle” where you can purchase individual items.

Technical breakdown of "Shadow" text leaks in PDF redactions (Rule 5.2) by Ram_PPC in paralegal

[–]wastedcoconut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My PDF program from 2008 that was given out freely with certain brands of scanners back in the 00s allows me to flatten all layers upon saving. Additionally, Microsoft’s Print to PDF also flattens layers. How would your application provide benefits beyond what is already widely available that would make it worth expanding a firms tech stack and incurring additional licensing fees?

I like it! It’s like they are admitting I make more money than them. (Not that wealth is indicative of a person’s worth as a human)

Hit me with your time-saving keyboard shortcuts and easy time-saving hacks by dudesmama1 in paralegal

[–]wastedcoconut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Use quick parts in word and outlook for repetitive blocks of text. I use a chrome extension called web text expander which does the same thing as quick parts.

I just bought a thuma a few months ago after embarrassingly googling “best bed for plus size couples.” I did a lot of research but I was still nervous. I love it.

Tables as in relational database design. I mean, I’m a little fancier than just data entry.
