shakes and hugs
When I meet someone (male or female) for the first time, I always shake their hand.
When I meet with friends (male or female), I always go in for a hug.
A real one. None of this side hug halfsies where only the top halves of your bodies touch. No.
This is as far as I am socially trained to do.
What, then, is the proper physical contact to greet someone I am only marginally acquainted with? A...
dill hole
L and I have come to the conclusion that if the legal profession were a women-run institution, we would get our calls returned.
This job search thing, it’s too much like dating the biggest dill hole in college. You know the one. That one person running on his own half baked schedule without the common decency to return a phone call.

In between twiddling my thumbs at intermittent interviews and contesting Symplicity access with UHLC, I’ve been trying to come up with a solid get-rich-quick scheme.
I think I’ve got it.
This idea took wings when Judge 81* asked me if he still had plenary power to modify/vacate a particular final judgment.
I immediately knew that he gets a minimum of 30 days. But the file indicated...
worthlessness
It’s funny that I was just noting how UH’s career center has been badgering my ass about finding a job, and finding a job now. NOW. I didn’t get this attention last year, or even after graduation, no. But NOW!
Rather than deal with their completely insufferable office, I’ve proceeded on this job search mostly on my own, either following up on suggestions passed on to me by...
