re: Google+, I wonder if this is a clash of cultures.
le Nubian, I think you've hit a good point. A friend who teaches undergrads says it feels like the sixties again with regards to online identity: "don't trust anyone with an alt."

Stephanie, I was thinking about you this morning because they were reporting on a woman who went into labor during the bar exam (and finished, to be clear). (The exam, not the labor.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am happy I can tell mac that Jesse is farty mcfart fart for the day, such a weight off my shoulders. YOU'RE WELCOME!
NO SIR! It was the other kind of gas. Mostly.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
brenda, I heard that; she finished the exam, then a proctor walked her to a nearby hospital (boggle).

Trust my rage
I heard about that! I actually made a comment somewhere else that what she did is really impressive, period. But I also think it was a sort of easy decision. You spend 6 weeks studying 8 hours a day for the bar and it is never more in your head that right after graduation. So to walk away and leave all that knowing that you would have to come back in Feb and do it all again (probably $800 for the test plus a review class) with a very young infant would be even harder.
(Not that I ever want to take the bar exam while in labor.)

I suspect her opponents in court aren't going to be successful at distracting her with theatrics.

Read that story, and one of the comments or lines was something like "...try to tell HER that motherhood makes women conflicted politicians" or something like.
I snerked pretty hard.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ms little i ita, don't you talk about white people being up in everywhere like it's a bad thing. Why you trying to keep us down?
And you just don't wash OFF!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I wondered why she didn't delay the bar until February until I read she had two clerkships already lined up -- district and sixth circuit. Sigh. Screw her.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Today is Day of the Tino, here. Of the three projects I've worked on so far, none could be completed because someone else couldn't be bovvered to check their work, and thus screwed up.
Oh, no, FOUR. Except the fourth is now finished, with apologies from the Tino, which I think makes him not a Tino.
Downside of working from home: can't hover menacingly over Tino's desk until he gives me what I need.
Upside of working from home: I can drink on the job.
