I think I’m just going to start cursing our partners that are A holes. They have me messed up in real life. If I don’t let my momma talk to me crazy… you for sure better watch your ever loving tone.

PREACH. But guess what Karma never misses so keep your cool. They will get theirs especially when a judge puts them in their place. Get your popcorn ready

Probably not since most are narcissistic pricks

Don't curse anyone out, but certainly tell them off. "Partner, I'm sensing some frustration in your tone, and I'd like to make sure that we're both approaching this project with the same expectations..." Something like this. Some lawyers are the most passive-aggressive people, and they absolutely will stop if called out. Be sure to schedule a video call if you can't do it in person and look them in the eye. They get uncomfortable and are much nicer.

My wife often calls me by 5:45/6 to ask where I am if I’m not headed home yet. Sometimes she’s stressed with kids/dogs/dinner and really wants me home. This really throws off my concentration because it makes me feel rushed. Like many practices sometimes I’m out at 5:30, other times it’s much later. Just depends and is unpredictable. Any advice on how to approach this?

I felt like a walking zombie during thanksgiving, barely eating and barely talking. My family is small and I told them ahead of time my relationship ended.

I’m back in my apartment, just trying to take it one day at a time, and not re read his texts too much. My birthday is Thursday 🙄

How did you make friends when you moved here?

Any parents who are still on the safe side with Covid? We have a 1 year old and being safe and staying mostly home is really getting to me. Most of our friends have kids who are able to mask up or are vaccinated and it’s getting quite isolating. Especially now mask mandates are being lifted feeling like we can’t go anywhere without risking our kid.

Do you have many LGBT friends and do you necessarily care if you do or don’t? I have one gay friend who I catch up with occasionally and I think my husband has two. I never really cared either way about it, however I feel like I’m at that point where you primarily make new friends through existing ones, and they are having children and making other “parent” friends. Between that and living in a SFH neighborhood in the suburbs, I’ve changed my viewpoint over the last few months.

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field? OR is it helping future attorney's of color by giving them a chance to go to a top school regardless of grades? I've seen questions about the LSAT all day and just want to know how people feel.
