I hate HATE hate the cliche “Ugh law school was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made.” No it isn’t, you just sound like an entitled prick. What I DID hate about law school was that I didn’t feel very prepared for the stress that being a lawyer actually entails, especially litigation. My day consists of going to work, feeling like an idiot for 10-12 hours a day, billing, going home completely exhausted, falling asleep and doing it all over again. I’ve sacrificed hobbies, friends, and physical and mental health essentially for a nice paycheck. There’s a reason high paying jobs suck. This is a very very difficult profession. I cannot tell you how much of a leg up you already have by ASKING for the help and having a plan. Good luck! You’re not alone.
Enjoy it. This is the end of free time. I’d give anything to go back to the stress of being a law student instead of the stress of being an actual attorney.
The last few years we went out for games due to the friend group all rooting for different teams. This year we’re trying sunday ticket with multiple TVs hooked up in the living room and a potluck situation.
The honesty one is the best advice. I’m having a tough time at work right now and being honest to my new boss (who is the managing partner of my firm) has made the whole situation less stressful.

Dyson Animal Ball. Worth the hilarious price.
Isn’t the first story a repeat from last week?
So that’s what it’s like to be a lawyer and get a compliment from your boss. I hope I get to experience that one day.
Thanks
Same. Started as a prosecutor. Greatest job in the world but the paycheck sucked. Moved to big law and the paycheck is good but the job sucks.

I would never be able to look past someone shoving me. Even if they got help, etc., I would always be a little terrified of them from that point on.
White trash bash themed housewarming with some good friends.
I thought my law school loans were bad with a 1 in the hundred thousands place. Oof.

Is “the homie” a dog or a child?
Are you Ron Swanson?
Missing a key point in the story though- Did you throw up the second one? If so, psycho move. If not, then not a psycho move.
“Now, me and tequila have a history…” hit me hard.
How did the microwave break in all this?
Law firms are literally the fucking worst at ghosting interviewees.
That story was my favorite part.

Also, congrats on the coming out.
Damn, Timothee coming in with the structure Girl desperately needs.
