It is finally working, though :victory:
My first file finished. It's pretty slow though-- average 57kb/s.
why do i have to make the coffees all the time? i've just come home from work and nobody's offering. i'm going to slug it out and wait! :beaten:
I'm a young attorney, smart, ready to work, and super excited about getting out and helping people yet it will probably take me over 1 year to find a job and even then, I'll likely make barely enough to get by to start with.
7 years of post-secondary education, 2 years of bar exams/studying and close to $150,000 later (education + job search and bar exam costs, not even considering the opportunity cost of not having worked during much of that time (I made plenty of money before going to law school)), it seems kind of a raw deal.
I've soon gotta start looking at free legal services type positions which pay minimal salaries. Many paralegals and legal secretaries make a lot more than I'm making now. Sadly, as an attorney, there is a stigma if you work too long in those jobs, so even though they are readily available, if I want to continue in this field, I need to be really careful about which positions I take.
I'm not unhappy with it, I'm just a little frustrated. Hopefully this women I interviewed with two weeks ago will sweep me off my feet as her associate ;-) I was supposed to hear back from her yesterday and I left her a message this morning - I'm kinda doubtful, honestly.

Getting your foot in the door is rough in most professions. Though after you pay your dues Im sure your law school degree will pay off in a big way! Congrats passing the Bar! :woot:
@Krim-I hope your teeth dont cost too much.
On topic: Dealing with a high powered Mom when she is stressed. :shocked: Glad she went back home even if I think she's terrific.

Wear steel-toed shoes. :beaten: :sweat:
Or wear a low cut lace-up blouse exposing cleavage and a short mini skirt to show off your legs like the secretary at the dentists office i just came back from.
She almost talked me into getting $3500 braces... :lol: damn those mesmerizing twins...

Yuko's better than the mouse palace for this kind of stuff. Especially the legal kind of magic.

Absolutely, i have the stiff sport suspension and the ultra stuff runflats, it doesn't get bumpier... after i put some slippery leatherette conditioner, I think i'll throw some extreme right hand turns too, just case. Hopefully she doesn't slide forward into the shifter...

The ends justifies the means. :victory:
Too bad you don't have a bench seat in the front. :hehe:
no center armrest, and the bucket seats would act like a launching ramp.. right into my lap. :naughty:
I'm bothered that Krimper's car gets more action than I do.
