The places do mess with your mind. I got an actual drafting assignment today (rather than a markup or such) as a wee first year, and the thought process goes something like: 1) Cool! I get to draft on my own! 2) What the hell happened to my mind to turn that into something exciting?

A guy in Canuckistan just got 10 years for mowing down a whole family while driving drunk. 4-6 years is a pretty reg sentence for a straightforward manslaughter (clonked a guy with a bottle during bar fight, unfortunately he fell down and bled in his brain and died) I can't even conceive of those sentences for the offences you've described. If you told me you were describing sentencing in North Korea I'd believe it

I started in 2012 and I'm thinking of getting a greyhound (apparently they are good apartment dogs because they are super lazy 99% of the time just have to take them out running on the weekend). But I'm always at the office on weekends too so frankly, the cost of a dog walker would probably be excessive.

I started in 2012 and I'm thinking of getting a greyhound (apparently they are good apartment dogs because they are super lazy 99% of the time just have to take them out running on the weekend). I would love a dog. However, it would be cruel to the dog, as I cannot really justify to the dog why I sometimes get home at three in afternoon and sometimes at midnight. I also refuse to get a dog walker to remedy my lovely work hours (and because I'm cheap and do not want to ever become reliant on partner money to do that type of poo poo). Finally, I live alone in a rented home that does not allow dogs. Go to law school, live alone post-divorce in a rented home that does not allow dogs, do not permit yourself the one creature in the world that loves you unconditionally, because you would destroy it through your neglect.

Well, as okay as any ultimately futile relationship in this sea of entropy can be. Plus, girls, unlike dogs, don't really love you.

Get a roommate with a dog. All the benefit, none of the responsibility. Even when they ask you to feed the dog while out of town for four days and you forget.

Also, regarding the cost of dog walkers, if you're not a cheap fucker like me, it's not excessive. There's a reason you work the hours you do. Don't take the negatives of this type of job (brutal hours), but then also deny yourself the positives (hot dog walkers at your beck and call, taking care of your doggeh).

Had a group project to write a request for re-exam for my PTO practice class I told the group I'd edit it since I'm on law review and that gives me good editing experience (lol) Professor loves brevity in these assignments, said he was looking for ~5 pages for the substantive portion of the submission Group sends it and it's 27 pages long. I fix the typos and inconsistent citations and formatting and pare it down to 22 before I give up on trying to fix it anymore. I send it back and the version that the person compiling the forms together sends has half of the stuff I removed added back in because apparently it was "critical" to repeat the claims 7 times throughout the piece. Professor goes over examples in class - pulls ours up and comments on "this is like the 8th time they've unnecessarily repeated claim 1" (before getting to the only 2 paragraphs that are important to the argument) "why did it take 18 pages for them to get to the point?"

I got home at midnight last night. My dog was super happy to see me.then a thunderstorm hit at 2am. I had to lay in the guest bed cuddling him while he shook in terror for three hours. This morning he knocked my kid over to steal his Graham cracker. Like I said, my dog is an rear end in a top hat.
