I had my year-end evaluation and it went like “You have great substantive legal skills, but you don’t come into the office enough and you don’t attend social events and you don’t regularly answer emails on weekends.” Yes, precisely.
So the Department of Education really went without student loan payments for more than 1.5 years and then just gonna turn around and act like they actually need them?
Got my first firm paycheck today and I keep waiting for someone to email saying they overpaid me/didn’t make the proper deductions. Asking as a first gen lawyer from a very traditional blue collar background: Does this feeling ever go away?
Any of my single people ever just get really annoyed that you have to live life on your own? Like you have to solve every problem by yourself and you’re the only one you can depend on to fix shit?

My evaluation said I was “completely unresponsive” for not replying to a Saturday email that another associate responded to on Sunday morning…
If your child is scared to bring someone home because of their race, gender, etc., then you failed as a parent. And I am not open to any wrong takes on this.
Men, would you notice if a girl sent you the same nude twice? I can’t remember if I’ve already sent this guy my favorite nude but like would he even notice?
I was deadlifting at the gym today and afterwards a little girl (maybe 7 or 8yo) came up to me with the widest eyes and said, “what you just did looked really good.” And honestly, that’s the kind of energy I want for the future generation of women.
Hooked up with the good sexter on Sunday night. He truly found enjoyment in me being pleasured and I’m gonna need all men to bring that energy moving forward. TIA.
I hate this time of the year where everyone gets engaged. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for them. But I’m jealous that they were able to find an emotionally available man when I’m not sure any more exist.

This is also why they push coming into the office. We have a hybrid schedule with no mandated in office days, but they view in office days important for face time. So you want me to come into the office to socialize and then… go home and work?
When a guy says he’s looking for someone “stable”… Like are we talking mentally, emotionally, or financially? Because I have a different answer for all of these.
What’s something you did as a child that exemplifies who you are as an adult? I’ll go first. When I was little, I quit soccer after one season because the boys wouldn’t share the ball and I thought it was pointless to just run up and down the field.
I normally hate working next to a busy tourist street, but tonight I had a group of drunk girls stop in front of my car and tell me I’m beautiful and ya know what, I’ll allow it.
I used to have a “friend” that would never call me an attorney. She would say things like “you do law,” “you went to law school,” etc. We’re no longer friends but it still peeves me whenever I think about it. Surround yourself with those who celebrate your accomplishments.
I hate that I feel dramatic for considering therapy. Like I feel like I haven’t experienced enough trauma to justify talking to a therapist. But ya girl has serious intimacy issues.
This discourse isn’t really having the effect on me they thought it would. Instead of planning to keep unwanted pregnancies, I now just don’t want to ever have sex again.
So at this point, I just assumed that I didn’t get that federal clerkship I’ve been trying for since March. Well at 11pm last night, the judge emailed the managing partner at the firm I worked for in law school, telling me to call her today. And I’m SWEATING BULLETS.
Also can someone tell me why this man messaged me, “looks like you’re in a pickle,” and my drunken response was “good thing I like pickles 😜😂” THIS IS WHY IM SINGLE.
@cece_honeybee
I had no bad vibes at all until he started asking way too many questions about where I was comfortable meeting (bars, parks, etc.) and then suggested meeting at his place instead.
@emiline129
THIS. I only feel bad bc it was last minute and he was already showered and dressed. But honestly, I don’t want a guy who can’t respect when I feel uncomfortable.
I love when guys say “you became a lawyer and now you think you’re too good for me.” Like nah bro, I realized my self worth and now I know I’m too good for you.
Is there an airplane mode or do not disturb for while you’re watching porn? I’m tired of getting some of yall’s like notifications while I’m trying to get off.
Anyone else mind blown when someone posts about their kids on here? I just assume everyone is single and barely taking care of themselves, just like me.
