I’ve never called someone bougie as an intentional insult.. I do agree it’s not exactly a term of endearment, but I use it to joke with my girlfriends. When they’re demanding nice things, I’ll laugh and call them bougie.. or I’ll even call myself it at times- but it’s always in jest, not in condescension. Could he have been joking?

Sorry OP, I think it’s okay to be different but if he’s that self-conscious and hung up about it, perhaps it’s not the best fit.

I get called bougie all the time haha! I take it a compliment or just as simple teasing. However if he’s using it to hurt your feelings, don’t take shit from that peasant man

It come from the word “bourgeoisie” like you’re upper /middle class rather than the working class, with expensive tastes.

I would appreciate any advice on how to stay on top of non urgent tasks. As a 2nd year, I’m often tapped to handle tedious tasks that need to get done quickly. Tbh, I like urgent matters. It motivates me and helps me focus. I admittedly struggle to care about checking in on DWQs, record requests, OC’s discovery, scheduling matters, etc. Especially with so many cases. I definitely rely heavily (maybe over rely?) on the paralegals for these sort of things. Any tips?

I am in my early 30s and want something ‘casual’ from my dating life (basically a hot guy I can see from time to time, no strings). I am busy and don’t have time for anything else. Despite saying this quite clearly every date I go on, the guy seems to think there’s more to it. Basically the more I say- I want something casual, the more they push the whole ‘let’s get to know each other’ thing. Am I missing something here? It’s extremely frustrating

Hi Fishes,
I had given interview for network security architect position in Feb last week. And as per recruiter, I got selected for that role. I have been asked to share the documents on March 1st. I did a few followup for the offer letter update and they asked me 2 wait for 2-3 weeks. And now they are saying position has gone on hold after I did another followup.
Could it be because of expected salary ?
