We were told we were going to get paternity leave, and a year later when I asked about, was told nobody had any idea what the hell I was talking about, get back to work! Thanks, Obama!

Felt that was kinda obvious, yes. You all deserve getting all that though. It's hosed up that you don't. Anyway, since I'm a smug, navelgazing rear end in a top hat stereotype norwegian I've been watching youtube reactions from mormon missionairies on mission in Norway and laughing my rear end off. The incredulity, the attempted accents, the amazement at maternity leave and such (which is why I brought it up). This place is as loving quaint and weird as it is totally irrelevant.

FWIW, as a gubberment attorney, I do get paternity leave, but that would mean I'd have to be foolish enough to bring a child into this world. I like sleep, money, free time, and travel.

My brother in CA got paternity leave that he could use before or after the birth and which he used to go snowboarding. He also had a food stamp card that he used for booze. He and his wife are gainfully employed at solidly middle class jobs, I’m sure their household income is over $100k. He’s also a Trump voter who constantly rants about gun control and taxes and street repairs (MY TAX DOLLARS) and the horrible oppressive California government. I keep suggesting he move to the conservative utopia that is Louisiana where I have none of those problems but strangely he declines.

There's nothing like having a smiling angelic child come up to you, and say "Daddy, look at this picture I drew for you!" And then he shows you the picture, drawn with purloined sharpie, on the living room wall. Well, it's the buyer's problem now.

The nice thing about being a lawyer is that if I'm ever in danger of forgetting that I'm human filth, I always have my bar card and student loans to remind me. (I'm never in danger of forgetting it, but it's nice to have the safety net.)

My firm allegedly provides 4 months of paid primary parental leave and 1 month of paid secondary parental leave. I wonder how often associates actually attempt the to collect on that, though.

Yeah, it doesn't get any "lighter." Read Children of Time unless you don't like Spiders. gently caress you all, I know its barely half a notch above YA bullshit, but Red Rising is awesome. I can send you the audio book for the Gameshouse trilogy, which is more like cloak and dagger poo poo, and really good.

An anaesthetist was sentenced for deliberately infecting 55 people with Hep C, and is now challenging his conviction (negligently causing injury) on the grounds that treatments have come a long way since he was sentenced in 2011, so this reduces the severity and impact of his offending. What's the most creative defence or grounds for appeal you've ever heard?

Ok, so not exactly the same, but its a follow-up to this: blarzgh posted:Ok, has anyone ever in all their years of civil practice seen a paid, private process server straight up lie about service on their return? I eventually pieced together what happened, and tried something out at the hearing on the Motion for New Trial. The reason we knew the named defendant wasn't at the location was because they were having a bible study there that day, and it was being run by named defendant's son-in-law. Now, I even had the pastor there to testify if we needed him to, but it occurred to me that Son-in-Law had the same first name as Defendant, and a similar sounding last name as Defendant (Think Paul Allen and Paul Ahn). I make my brief opening argument, and call my first witness: the process server. Out in the hallway, I had told the defendant to sit in the middle of all the people from the bible study two rows deep in the pews, and to have Son-in-Law sit in the row behind me, by himself. I pulled SiL aside and pretended to talk to him for a bit because I could see who I figured was the process server sitting down at the end of the hall. Back inside, I start off asking the server his name, the name of the defendant, and when and where he was served. I asked if he recalled the bible study, and if he recalled interrupting it. I then asked if he could point out the defendant that he served at the bible study. He pointed at Son-in-Law. "Let the record reflect that the witness has indicated Paul Ahn, the Son-in-Law of the defendant Paul Allen. Mr. Allen, would you please stand up in the back there."
