Any firms having big impeachment debates going on? Or is everyone mostly just ignoring it?

Wow we must really be desensitized to complete madness and chaos if the leader of the free world withholding aid to a foreign government in exchange for dirt on a political opponent is considered boring or easy to ignore. In the words of a certain someone, sad!

See? You’re not convincing anyone with this type of argument, and I’m not going to convince you to change your mind either no matter what I say. This makes for great conversation at happy hour though (after 1 or 2 mojitos)

Nothing useful ever comes out of these debates. You have nothing to gain from them and the chance of it becoming a full-on shouting argument during work hours is real. Better ignore it.

Honestly... I'm dreading tomorrow. Not that I'm a Trumper or a Republican. I just cannot stand how obnoxious one guy is in our firm. I might just work from home so I don't have to listen to the cheering and the low grade trump impressions. Maybe I could work from a shared space? Idk.

Not a Trump fan here, but entire process has been pure political theater untethered from reality - Dems in the House and Repubs in the Senate equally - so yes, ignoring entirely.

Yes. But some are grounded in reality rather than pure partisanship. Looking at both sides here...

Waste of time and energy super reality TV good only for when one has time to be entertained

Boringest impeachment ever.

Because it has only happened three times in American history makes it inherently interesting and highly exciting. Calling is boring is unwarranted cynicism.

Two of my really good friends at work have had their work dry up in the past few months (because of the Rona). I'm like two months ahead of them on hours, and they're worried about not making their minimum billable requirements.

Feel sort of guilty and try to avoid talking about hours with them. I'm just hoping the firm doesn't give them trouble...

I want to brag on my kid, but I don’t want to embarrass him, so I’m doing it here. My college sophomore found out today that he ended up with a B in his accounting class - which is remarkable, given that he received a 50 on his first exam and a 70 on his second. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him work this hard - and I couldn’t be more proud. The grades that come easily don’t impress me nearly as much as the ones that are hard fought.

Hi! So yesterday I pitched that we take every article in our real estate magazine and basically copy and paste it into a blog section on our website. I really don’t know anything about blogs except that they can help boost SEO. Do you have any advice on how to do tweak it to be more “blog like” or is my idea ok?
