So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

While you guys are having heatwaves, yesterday I saw someone dressed in what looked like a winter coat! I mean it's cold, but it's not that cold!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The Office Manager went out to Ikea to pick up a cabinet for our new hire's office. When she asked if we needed anyhting else, I answered, as I ALWAYS do, hey, bring me some Swedish Meatballs.

Well, she did! A whole meatball, new potato, lingonberry extravaganza!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Also, when looking through job descriptions of other positions that are the same level (Administrative Assistant), we came across one that said you needed a BS in Law... is there even such a thing as an undergraduate degree in Law?

It's not uncommon in Europe, and found also in Canada. (Possbily only Quebec?) I don't think it's the same thing, though, since this is basically the same as a J.D. here (only with less "degree inflation", they would say).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think it's possible here, at schools that do pre-professional type programs-- legal studies or something like that.

I know a few lawyers from Ireland who qualified as attorneys basically through an undergrad-type program. I know some Canadian attorneys but can't remember what kind of program they took-- one got her B.C.L/ LL.B from McGill in addition to a B.A.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, she did! A whole meatball, new potato, lingonberry extravaganza!

That's awesome.

It's an LLB in Canada, but it's not like you can start law school without at least a couple of years of undergrad behind you.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

should my references me completely different from the people who have written me recommendation letters?

Mine overlap, Emily. My top 3 references also are the ones who wrote me letters of recommendation. But, I have 2 other references as well, just in case. No one seemed to care and no one even called my other 2 references, but they did call my top 3.

I think the cooling unit may have drowned. It's so musty smelling, I can barely breathe.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I just bought some M&Ms out of the vending machine, and they're melty.

In your hand and not in your mouth? That's just WRONG.
