For the learning of all the newbies: on what did you spend your first paycheck? Mine was a weekend away with a Michelin restaurant, and a decent amp and great speakers. Still have the latter.

Oh goodness, I think my first real check when to stocking up things. It had been TIIIIIIIGHT for a long while (recently divorced a deadbeat and had two kids) so I was still in “there won’t be enough money later to buy soap” mode. Glad to say I’ve outgrown that urgency, but the way to stretch a dollar has stayed. 😂😂

I posted here some months back about my ectopic pregnancies but today, I'm posting to tell you all to hang in there and God will do it for you. (Please don't insult me of you don't believe in God because I strongly do).
In a nut shell, we had baby #1 without trying. Started trying for #2 and over 2 years, I had 4 miscarriages and 2 ectopics. In July, my doc informed me that the only way forward was through IVF. I was tired and confused. I PRAYED! and continued trying. (The rest in the comments.)

What’s the most valuable “soft skill” for any government lawyer? Looking to emphasize it in a cover letter

Hope you all are having a great weekend. Just wanted to share a tip for all of those who are looking to connect with former employees - there is a filter function at Linkedin which allows you to do so (and you can combine that with the filter on location - then you can almost always find at least 2-3 people you can reach out to and ask about the firm and practice group you are thinking of lateralling).

Feel free to share any other tip with the fellow fishes!
