This guy worked at my dad's labor firm. That's the firm he's talking about. I even mentioned something to #lawgoons once or twice about there being a "fashionable Asian guy" working at my dad's office. I swear my dad's firm is more enjoyable than biglaw, despite what he says! Sure makes you not want to be a lawyer, huh? Edit: Wow, go to his website, his stuff is good.

So I worked for the government this past summer, and am now waiting for a round of pointless interviews before the budget decides if I get a permanent job. Should I stick with Jameson for the next few months or is there a better nightly whiskey regimen for this situation?

The great thing about Banker's Club is that when the mood strikes you, you can have a different flavor of their fine selection of artifically flavored grain alchohol. Not in the mood for whisky? What about a burbon that looks and tastes the same? What about a gin that's actually just vodka that pine needles soaked in? Vodka with sugar, better known as "rum"? If you're looking for any of those, or even just your standard rubbing alcohol labeled as vodka, Banker's Club has got you covered.

Then it was cheap vodka. Now it's nothing, which isn't really a financial thing I guess though the money saved is kind of nice. I'm trying to go back to the days when drinking was something you did for fun in the company of friends rather than something you do alone in your room until you fall asleep this is the addiction megathread right? sometimes i get my bookmarks mixed up Ainsley McTree fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Aug 19, 2010 |

I used to like Maker's Mark, but I've been told by the few people left who care about me that it makes me mean so I switched to basically any dark rum I can find but it's not whisking me away to an island paradise as promised...

My doctor told me if I keep drinking the way I do I will 100% get cirrhosis by the age of 40 and be dead by 45. So now I only have beer and wine during the week and liquor only on weekends or at special events or when I can sneak it while my wife is in the bathroom. Oh and I open a secret tab at restaurants so the waiter can give me "sparkling water with lime" and I don't have to hear about it.

Secret to covert drinking: actually order quinine water for a few months. Then start adding vodka/gin/tequila.

I think we should take all the drinking quotes where we're being "funny and ironic" and add them to the OP Also, what the gently caress is this forum cancer thing e: VVVV gently caress that. LF is a wasteland of bad/boring posting and pseudo-intellectual circle-jerking. D&D is alright but LF is about as related to that as YCS is to Games.

I drank a bottle of miller light last night, so sorry you lot but I win the game of losing. On the other hand, I only drink in the company of friends and family, and don't drink it constantly in crippling amounts. I'm going to have the world to myself when you're all gone; imagine the possibilities. Defleshed posted:Also, what the gently caress is this forum cancer thing post in lf and find out

Quote of the day from a client I was appointed to defend on a prostitution charge, to the black arresting officer after he offered to release her to her husband: "Oh no, please don't. I don't want him to know I was going to gently caress a black guy."

Callbacks as in offers or callbacks as in "come to another interview"? I'm not sure how youse guys' system works. I registered for our law society's articling database. There are a whopping 5 postings province-wide for 2011 grads.

In terms of the private market, I was something like twenty for one. That one also consisted of being flown out to some place in Ohio, just to be told that they only had room for an URM.
