Woke up with a fever this morning, I’m so disappointed. Would you quarantine yourself to hopefully keep your kids healthy even if it meant missing Christmas? It’s my youngest’s first Christmas I really want to be there for it

I wouldn’t quarantine. Maybe if your youngest is <2 months, when them getting a fever is a more serious thing… but otherwise, everyone will probably get sick one way or the other this time of year, and they will want you at Christmas too!

If you have a fever you've likely already shared thr bug. Enjoy your holiday with your kid(s). Avoid things like sharing cups and kissing their faces.

This! You’ve already exposed everyone. Enjoy the holidays and fingers crossed no one’s gets it.

Wear an n95 mask and wash hands a lot

I tend to agree with the above. I’d mask and/or limit exposure but I would not skip Christmas!

There is no way to prevent it, just mentally prepare yourself that everyone is going to get sick.

I did the n95 when I had newborn and had to take care of her and she stayed healthy

With multiple kids, I’ve resigned myself to most people getting sick if someone is. Frankly, the last few times I have been sicker than everyone else (since I’m still nursing and can’t take meds) but youngest is 14 months so it’s less risky.

Don’t skip Christmas!!!

I would get an at-home test to see if it’s the flu. If so I’d definitely wear that N95. If not I’d just let it rip – cometh what may.

I need advice. A student at my worksite came to school with a gun. He’s a SPED kid, and administration did not inform anyone. I had to help the teacher and instructional aide deal with the incident.

If your goal is to be as high ranking of an in house counsel position as possible, how would you structure your career progression? Is it better to stay in big law as long as possible and then transition as a partner, or is it more valuable to get relevant experience by going in house as a mid level/senior associate? Practice area is IP: working in patent pros, litigation, and tech transactional to varying degrees if that affects the answer.

This job is a lot better if you don't care about the bonus and hours requirement. I can pretty easily bill 1700 hours annually and my firm so far hasn't cared in the slightest. Worrying about hitting 2000 hours for the bonus used stress me out so much, and I just don't think it's worth it. Base salaries are ridiculous and way more than enough to finance my lifestyle.

Yesterday my younger brother called me looking for good hidden swimming spots in the mountains. He was up there with a bunch of friends and their original plans had fallen apart hard. And I go much more often than he does.

I told him I had map pins that are EXACTLY what you need for these hard to find places. I can send them in 10 mins when I get home.

Reply? Forget it, I'm all set.

Yep, 10 mins is too long. Here I was expecting "Wow! That's fantastic!" How silly of me.
