I’d have to lose 50 lbs to fit in it again, though.

Unless you’re going to a funeral and it’s your funeral you shouldn’t wear a five button suit.

Ties are bourgeois and counter-revolutionary and so the courts adore them.

God, I'm loving bored. I'm the kind of jittery bored where nothing can hold my interest so I'm watching netflix, youtube, reading the internet and just restlessly wandering at the same time while everything feels like a waste of precious non-work time. It's loving useless and annoying as all hell.

Not really, just your typical opiate etc addict refusing to consider that they might not be 100% in control of themselves at all times when on medication. You know, the kind of person who can't be told poo poo and knows better than everyone else.

Currently fleeing to Miami for thanksgiving. Timing is a coincidence but I’m not going to complain.

Long acting naltrexone / an opiate blocker can be a good tool. But they’ll come up with every excuse not to do it.

I failed to pass the governmental background check (or maybe I just asked for too much money, idk) and ended up accepting an in-house offer from a pharmaceutical company with like twice the salary I had when I worked at a law firm (more than that if benefits are taken into account, which at the law firm I had none and here I'll have plenty)

Now instead of litigation I'll be supporting investments abroad and overseeing foreign-seated arbitrations
Apparently the policy is to hire law firms as little as humanly possible, so they're beefing up their in-house legal department

Also, I first posted this, because I wasn't looking, in a funny e/n thread in which I exclusively lurk, so this should tell you something about my attention to detail

The only thing I know about Russian pharma is that codeine is over the counter and is the primary ingredient in krokodil.

Which is to say, let us know how the clinical trials of krokodil are going.
