JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:Thanks friends. No, but mostly because I'm unemployed and it's feeling really hard to find new work and start again. I felt pretty happy when I was getting paid and not being ethically compromised No, though I was previously in a very closely related field (worked in a community services charity legal firm that had a criminal defense department) and I would be very open to going back to work for them in that department Yes, but mostly because I would have taken a more measured approach to uni and worked out what fields were actually in demand for graduates instead of sticking to the disgustingly flooded legal market

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:Thanks friends. Yes, very happy. My Biglaw job doesn't offer much in terms of independent decision making, so that can get a bit frustrating/boring. But, my last job had plenty of that and I'm still learning a lot so I don't mind it for a few years. Plus, the money for what I do is absurd. No. See supra "money." No time machine for me. I worked while waiting out the lovely legal market around 2010-2014 (thanks thread!) then went part time and made it to Biglaw with prior work experience and zero debt. I get a little nervous that I don't know my next move yet, but that's small potatoes and I'm totally playing with house money at this point.

Oh for sure, that’s probably living the dream. My friends have been going in house to the same huge megacorp and they get every other Friday off. Not to mention the psychological value of knowing that when you’re off work, you’re completely off.

gently caress it, I'll join in too.JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:Thanks friends. I think so, generally. Nope, not even in law. I feel reasonably comfortable believing this is why I'm happy. I'd probably still have gone to law school, but I would've gone for the double degree in Fine Art (Performance)/Law, rather than Arts/Law. Although my BA was majoring in politics and minoring in a language, which have both been useful to my current job, so who knows.

Cool: https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article227026334.html#storylink=topdigest_latest You might look more credible if your office had ever charged a cop for shooting anyone ever. If there's a riot, there's no chance it will happen in the suburbs that re-elected her.

Yuns posted:We're looking to move so our bathroom is a boring suburban bathroom. No insane remodeling. YET. Did not know there was whisky snus. Don't know if they even sell that, as ads/commercials for tobacco and/or alcohol is prohibited and yes, the packaging itself is considered an ad. This is what snus looks like here:  Also, I was never in the military so I never got hooked on it. I do know the handtalk sign for snus though since I was HVU (like, JROTC is the american equivalent I think? So, very much not the military even though they tossed us in with the enlisted because they didn't really have a program for us, hence handtalk). The whole snus/tobacco thing is going away, though. Less and less people do it, even if the numbers are still strong among women. Almost nobody smokes anymore. So you know, enjoy them while the supply lasts I guess?

Phil Moscowitz posted:What’s the handtalk for snus? Right hand L above head, turns to hand gripping a snus case (some did full grip, some did thumb and pointer), then sometimes back to an L but that seemed pretty random. Then someone tosses you a snus (obv. cause you yourself are out). This may be region-specific, but I never saw anyone not get it even when I went an walked the Vierdaagse and there were guys from all over there. E: This and how to walk really far/shoot a G3 accurately is pretty much the entire range of my military experience though so I don't know jack poo poo else. Except that "military grade" equipment sucks, people in the military loving steal a lot and AOAB (all officers are bastards).

Driving for Uber/Lyft fulltime is probably one of the most dangerous jobs in the country, aside from maybe fishing and lumberjack work. So at least there's a decent chance you'd see an immediate resolution to any and all financial problems.

You've done fine so far, you just haven't gotten lucky. Life is hard when you don't fit the mould, but you're gonna be alright. Maybe look for something law-adjacent or like a more general office type job? Besides, there's always money in the taco stand.

Firstname, Thank you very much for applying for the position. I regret to relay that for the past week or so we have been in the process of making an offer to another applicant. I do want to say that you have very impressive credentials, and we wish you continued success. Should something change on our end, I will be sure to let you know. Thanks, Sr. Associate

Question for the Federal peeps. How hosed is Stone? https://twitter.com/zoetillman/status/1102682611862908928 PS. Did we say pending release? We mean to say the print version is upcoming. It’s already out online. Edit: I'm sure this is coincidental but the title to the book is "Who Framed Roger Stone?" The answer to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" is the Judge.
