Does anyone have any thoughts on Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt’s healthcare practice or overall reputation?

Booking a trip to ATL in a few months. I have Alaska Air MVP Gold. They are phasing in their oneworld membership throughout 2021, but it’s not clear to me what benefit, if any, I’d get from booking an AA flight via AS’s website (ie “marketed as an Alaska flight, but operating as AA”). I think these would count as partner miles, not Alaska miles, even though it’s purchasedart AS. This would be my only non-Alaska flight so partner miles are less useful than Alaska miles. Am I missing something?

Now my dream job is a housewife. I enjoy cooking, cleaning and decorating the house. I can spend a day by working out, walking my dog and volunteering in my community.

I wanna be a housewife if someone really loves me and would like to spend the rest of life with me. Wake up, girl 😂 BYW, I’m serious. A lady in 40s in NY.

If you had to be Doc Antle, Joe Exotic, Carole Baskins, or Jeff Lowe. Who would you be. p.s. if you haven’t watched tiger king you aren’t quarantining right.

Anyone here like their agency? If so, where do you work and why?

For those who have found themselves pushed to the brink of quitting but somehow managed to convince themselves to stay at CV - what made you stay on? (Context: I’m about one more client/internal meeting away from handing in my notice and even the prospect of the EOY bonus isn’t enough of a motivator for me to wait two more months)
