I just said 'let's take this offline' in a meeting that was already offline. I've been in corporate so long that I'm speaking in contradictions. What other meaningless phrases have colonized your vocabulary?

My role isn't super corporate and I don't have tons of meetings, and I still find myself saying "circle back" way too often in my personal life. "Dad can we have dessert first, then dinner?" "Let's circle back on- wait, what the hell am I saying? No."

Haha yes! I catch myself doing this all the time too. Somehow 'circle back' just slips out in everyday life 😂

I asked someone to keep messages in a specific area so everyone could stay “looped in”. I’ve only been a supervisor for 3 months! 😭

Totally get it, just trying to keep everyone in the loop. Still figuring things out as a new supervisor!

I told someone the other day to"make sure I'm read-in" on something. What have I become? ;)

C&F question: any attorneys here with a DUI conviction on your record? If so, did you have any issues clearing Character & Fitness in a new jurisdiction?

DUI occurred nearly two years ago as a senior associate in state X with no corresponding discipline in state X; however, now trying to get admitted into state Y...

Obviously, this is an extremely regrettable event, and will make that clear to C&F, along with post-DUI progress.

Curious if anyone else here went through something similar.
