Dead inside, eyes that say "my kids hate me", mild sociopathy, obsession with inane details, smug self satisfaction (the INTELLECTUAL RIGOR OF CONTRACT DRAFTING). Thank you. I've been getting bombarded with emails about a JD opening and now I'm just going to respond to all of them with this.

Sab0921 posted:The most law school thing ever written: The halogen lamps in my windowless office hide the moonless night. But the thin walls betray the storm raging outside. I pick up the collateral finance agreement off my desk and hold it close to my chest. My voice is but a whisper. "Sleep well, little one. The thunder will not get you tonight. Go and be with your brothers and sisters." Gently placing the agreement back in the filing cabinet, I put on my coat and head towards the door. The phone buzzes, and my thoughts turn to my family. "I wonder how Dad's surgery went?" I check my phone. 6 missed calls - Mom.

Sab0921 posted:“I went to law school thinking I wanted to help people,” she said. “I’d like to tell myself I’m still going to help people” by becoming a mergers-and-acquisitions and debt-finance lawyer. But in any event, “it’s really interesting work.” "After the end of a complex deal, you sometimes wonder if your work has made any difference at all. But when you look into the eyes of a CFO, and see his joy that he'll be able to report slightly more favorable results on the quarterly earnings call, it helps you realize that it's all worth it."

Willing to venture, but no car I eat all meals. Fun. Difficulty -- i will be biking in from nashville, so no places that require fancy clothes because they don't pack well in pannier.

nm posted:Mid city. Here are some suggestions for you. Midcity Lola's - really good Paella. You can bring your own beer (50 cent corkage) or wine ($7) but they serve it there too. I like to bring a bottle to drink while waiting for a table since I think it's still no reservations. http://www.lolasneworleans.com/ Parkway Bakery - Poboys, right by the Bayou. http://parkwaypoorboys.com/ Mo Pho - kind of a vietnamese fusion place http://mophonola.com/ Toup's Meatery - meat restaurant http://toupsmeatery.com/ Bulldog - beer and bar food, lots of beers on tap if that's your thing. The local brewery scene has exploded in the last few years ever since a bullshit legislative monopoly expired. http://bulldog-midcity.draftfreak.com/ Depending how far you are willing to ride, you can go down Canal St or Esplanade (which is much prettier) to the CBD/quarter and down Carrollton to the Uptown area. If so that opens up a whole bunch of places. Phil Moscowitz fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Apr 28, 2017 |

Also I've seen bikers get killed by trucks on Canal street, so nm if you do decide to ride from Midcity to the FQ/CBD, you should take the Laffitte Greenway http://www.lafittegreenway.org/map e. And I hope you document your trip and post pictures here, that sounds awesome. Are you taking the Natchez trace?

I actually don't plan on biking much in new orleans itself as I have to get it boxed back up and shipped fairly quickly. Also, locking up a really expensive bike on the street in new orleans seems like a good way to go home sans bike.

Oh boy, another sovereign citizen opponent. (Alleged) Moorish Nation guy this time. I'll give him credit, his handwriting is impeccable (he is doing a bid for attempted murder) and his claims, while unavailing and time-barred by the statute of limitations, are not just a bunch of made-up gibberish. Fun times. Medical marijuana clients give a lot more (bro-)hugs than prisoners rights litigation clients do.

Those are all fine but Willie Mae's is not in the ideal neighborhood to access by foot or bike. But if you are keen on fried chicken and soul food you should try it. Katie's is ok but nothing special in my opinion. Mandinas is like 20 other New Orleans restaurants but yes if you want the traditional "Cajun/Creole" food it's good.

Willie Mae's is like the one restaurant that is relatively convenient for the street car that would get me to use it. The neighborhood isn't that terrible especially since I walk through a nearby neighborhood all the time. The new hospital and VA have really helped that area out. I was trheowing out Mandina's and Katie's because they're TV/New Orleans famous. I agree they're not the best go-to's for restaurants but they're institutions. Like Mothers. There is a new restaurant that opened in July called Vessel. I've heard good things. It's Mediterranean. Also for anyone that doesn't know, New Orleans food is at the same level as its music and alcohol. I gained 20 pounds from the food in 6 months.

My friends have terrible timing. Maybe next week. Where do you park? I hear people get crushed with parking tickets near there durng Jazz fest. I also prefer the downtown restaurants because I know them so well, and there are some amazing Uptown restaurants that I think are the best values in the city.

I think the most important thing I learned in my first year in law school is that I don't want to be a loving lawyer One year of my life wasted is better than 3 years + a lifetime of doing something I don't want to do. Dropping out. Thanks in advance for the congratulations.
