Thank you, A3. My ex BF (a goldenboy I’m not fully over) is at WC. I’d like to think he’s just a prestigewhore in the rat race rather than the high achiever who got away, lol.

Fwiw, I suspect he’s not an outstanding attorney, but skates by on charm and sociopathic instincts. Maybe they goes over well there?
