I'm so antsy about call back interviews.

[Deleted]

I feel so personally invested in everyone I interviewed at OCIP and advocated for. I've been obsessively researching people for them to meet with, and researching the other firms the candidates are meeting with . . . The stress. Crazy.

:-) This makes me happy for those candidates

But it is just complete control freakiness on my part. I want who I want and it's killing me I can't control the outcome.

Twelve years later, I'm still friends with the guy who called me back for my first job.

I feel indebted to him. No exaggeration.

Aww, Miso, that is sweet.

[sonrisa]

Well, it is.

Speaking of law school: I have a rule that you might understand, Elle. I refuse to pay more for the bibble's three years in nursery school than I paid for my three years in law school. Let's face it - none of the nursery schools around here ever graduated a supreme court justice.

LOL. But we were there before the fee hikes! Are you adjusting for current cost of attendance?

[sonrisa]

I'll adjust my fee expectations when they can teach my toddler to read case law ;-)

I hear many future lawyers pick it up on their own. You know, as light pleasure reading. The tension between CJ Treynor and CJ Bird on torts is really quite fascinating.

Which is why you don't need GATE classes. Teach to the middle and the rest can teach themselves. I'm hoping she'll teach herself linear algebra and then she can teach me.

Whatever she does, I hope she knows to be embarrassed when she sees an acquaintance working at a coffee shop. The horror! The horror!

Yes, but see, that's the problem with abolishing GATE. You don't teach the children how to deal with those that are beneath them. Really, the ideal structure would be to have the GATE kids in a bubble and the rest of the children working in the cafeteria. So they get early experience dealing with their inferiors, and don't have awkward situations as adults when they see a peer WORKING.
