I was barely conscious with a pulse ox in the high 60s when I got there. Best possible time to take on the billing departments of the hospital, the contracted emergency physicians, the contracted radiologist, and the lab. Would have gone super great.

No, you know what, I don't wanna know.

I bet we can teach you how to knit at the very least. Bonus: you can stab someone with a knitting needle.

Why on earth do you think a woman would ever accept this offer from some random dude on the Internet
We do not just give out our contact information to random dudes on the Internet
I'm sorry you're learning this lesson the hard way? But you need to learn it.

So yeah, I agree - of course it's important to be able to do legal issue-spotting quickly, esp when billing a client. But the best way to get really good at it is to do it over and over and over.

My psych testing showed a significant cognitive processing speed delay. No impact on the day-to-day of my job; a lot of impact on certain types of timed tests. The extra time just gave my brain a chance to catch up. (I call it an out-of-RAM error, not slow processor, impact is the same either way.)

This was law school, but same principle. Not a good reflection of what practice looks like.
Undergrad was mostly fine, but I majored in languages and music - very different final exam experiences.

That was the argument from the guy who got me informal accom. while the formal were pending - if it was that I didn't get it, time and a half wouldn't have made a difference. He was right; my grades did a 180 because I did get it but needed to get through all 1000 browser tabs in my brain first.

I don't think they're talking about cash benefits so much as workplace/school accommodations, which are a different beast. Still can require a lot of documentation but not what you're looking at.

This was the second time for them; the first was a couple of years ago when I moved across the street and rather than transfer service on my existing account to a new address, they created a new account and then sent me to collections on the old one. It got fixed but for Pete's sake.

And even law will be priced out in a couple of years. It'd squeak in around $192-195k right now.
Don't think the WI legislature is going to magically give more money to the UW system to bring tuition down.

I worked for an employer that did this too for the exact same reason. Too many accidental calls.

I don't think it's unique to lawyers. If you were handpicked by this president to do something, would you admit you'd fucked it up out of ignorance? A lot of the DOGE kids did the same thing rather than admit they don't know what they're doing.

I do think that a lot of the attorneys trying to represent this administration have a somewhat dubious relationship with fact. But I also think a good chunk of that is incompetence too. When you don't know what you're doing, "make shit up" starts to seem like a sound strategy.
