That's insane. My job pays my dues and my CLEs. I just have to front the dues and get reimbursed. It sucks.
At least since i don't practice, i don't have to join a county bar association, too. Those are almost as much as the state dues.
I don't actually think it was required while i was practicing, but they sure made it seem like it.
Fortunately, my agency has at least made me do a ton of trainings that I've been able to get approved for CLE credit. For two reporting periods in a row, the only CLE I will wind up having to pay for is the 3 hours of ethics.
And now I'm pondering finding a CLE webcast this afternoon... LOOK WHAT YOU'VE CAUSED ME TO DO!!
I'm going to Maui for 10 days starting Friday!! I should probably start thinking about packing!! Not surprisingly, between that and apartment hunting, no work is getting done this week. Hooray!!
Have fun! Where are you staying?
Thanks! We are staying in a condo owned by one of H's adult piano students. It's in Kihei. He usually does vacay rentals through vrbo, but is letting us stay for pennies as an anniversary gift. So pumped!!
I've done the first two days of C25K, and I'm feeling really good.
I was going to wait till the fall to start, but said fuckit, and I've been doing it on the track at the local Y. I wouldn't say I'm a speedy runner AT ALL, but I'm doing it, and it feels pretty OK.
oh, shit...
I just realized I'm supposed to skip days between them. OOPS. No wonder I was kind of dragging yesterday.
Being without a job since we've moved has left me in kind of a funk. But things are hopefully starting to look up. The job I interviewed for last week wants me to come back in and do a 2nd interview (and a test/assignment). Bonus, it is the one I'd absolutely love and I could walk to work.
ESF and I got invited to a rave last night. Dude told us to bring friends. Anyone else wanna come? lol
::raises hand::
Just let me scrounge up money for a plane ticket.
OH! meshaliuknits - I thought of you this weekend. The festival we were at had white plastic lawn chairs up front for the VIP ticket holders. I've never been to a concert like this where those chairs would have stayed on the ground. They were perfectly in order until Rob Zombie came out at the last concert of the last day. He said, "I don't know how to deal with white plastic lawn chairs" and had everyone move them. The people stacked them up neatly at the edge of the pit area. I was laughing.

We can't get the people at our pool to stack their chairs neatly, but Rob Zombie can. LOL
Maybe we can get him to come out, do a PSA on chair management and let me fangirl all over him.

I can't take Rob Zombie seriously ever since I was working the autograph tent at Ozzfest in 02 or 03. He was coming over for his session and it was raining. We were under a tent, but he was being a little bitch about it so they moved him to just inside the Pepsi Center. All while the fans still had to wait in line in the rain.

He's kind of a prima donna.
He does the exact same show every single time. Unless he throws in a ton of covers to fill time, which he did at this concert. We ended up leaving early.

Egg salad...I made it for the first time ever today. Pinterest fail in that guac and egg salad do not seem to mix. I imagine it would be much better without the guac.

Someone at work just called me mulatto. I made a face. Blessedly, iammalcolmx has taught me that it's normal in Brazil and wasn't meant to be offensive. I manged to keep my reaction to making a face. It was a near thing, tho.

I finally have my 3 major summer deliverables submitted (all due yesterday or today) so hopefully for the next 1.5 months I can start taking Saturdays and Sundays off.
I'm en route to a conference and giddy about the idea that all I have to do is conference stuff, not work all night in my room as well.
i've decided i hate the term life hacks. Aren't they just shortcuts-why can't we use short cuts? does this make me a crotchety old lady?
I worked out for an hour earlier and am now stuffing my face with kettle corn. WTF is my problem?
I hate the term life hacks too. Some aren't even practical and it just sounds pretentious (and isn't hacking typically difficult, so why are life hacks=shortcuts?).

So, are the idiot homophobes doing the American flag over their profile pictures in response to all the pride colors? I just noticed a girl I went to high school with did this after liking and sharing some Matt Walsh bullshit (I still say he is so vocal because he wants to eat man ass) and Billy Graham (I mean, he's just old). Is this a thing?
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

this guy, Jim's FB status.
Backstory: Jim's close friend has a heart attack while driving and would have died if my friend, Karen's son the police officer hadn't pulled him over for driving erratically and given him CPR until an ambulance came. Jim is on the short list of visitors and has been updating people while Bill is in the hospital.
Status: Bill Is On His Way To Boston For Open Heart Surgery , Please Keep Him In Your Prayers, Don't Ask Him To Help With Any Projects , He Will Be Layed Up For Some Time.
My first reaction is to say: Thanks for the info! I was going to ask Bill to help me move next week, but I guess I'll find someone else
Come on dude, Bill nearly died, is barely stable, and is now being transferred to a bigger/better hospital out of state. No one was going to expect him to do anything.
(aside, yes all his posts have each word capitalized)
