Chicago: More Bars in More Places

When I used to answer the phones for the lawyer in NC I would say something like, "You don't want me to give you any legal advice! Not only is it against the law, but it would totally mess up your case!" Just basically playing as dumb as they cumb.

Lucky you! I was applying at journals though, someone who worked there was all like "Uh, don't get yr hopes up"

Lucky you!

Boy, doesn't everyone love it when someone appears out of nowhere, in a place where we all clearly know each other, and starts laying on the snark? Is there anything more charming?

That wasn't snark, but have at it if ye must.

I could see reading that as snark (I didn't; I actually read it in a funny high-pitched voice with a British accent, but... yeah, probably a little 5 pm giddiness there), but let's give our new friend the benefit of the doubt.

I applied at a journal :-/

I read it in the "OY GUV'NA CAN I HAVE SOME MORE PLEASE???" voice that makes enrages Jeff! I'm going home now!

i applied to a journal to but was already rejected :-/

"hello can i have a job at your gurnal?"

Yeah, I'm going home, too. I'm testy. I need dinner and sleep, hopefully in that order.

I may have been lucky because I got a techy position and one thing that the U doesn't really have is tech degrees. They have CS but I doubt anyone from that program is going to want to come here for sub-40k starting pay.

But srsly I work for the biggest department in Journals (~40 ppl) and like one person went to school here.

I need input/help on wording a flier. We're trying to lure in 6 people to serve on a mock jury. It's in late Oct 9AM-3PM. Stipend is $50 and you get free lunch at a decent local pub. The target audience is W. Loop workers and UIC students.

My predecessor wrote "HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO BE A JUROR BUT NOT BE ON A JURY?"

And my answer to that is "Hmm. Not really, no."

Can anyone get me started here? My cleverness and knack for luring in folks is at a low.

If you're really looking for students, make the $50 and FREE FOOD the biggest parts.

I would be on a mock jury! That sounds like better money and food than being on a real jury. Also, nostalgia for high school social studies class.

That was already done, actually.

It's the biggest thing on the page. I just hate that headline.

What is appealing about being on a mock jury for you guys, as intelligent, thoughtful people we would want on the jury. I wonder if they select the jury in the same way they would in court?

I would think that a fake trial has a better chance of being an interesting case than a real one.

I can think of two or three dudes off the top of my head who might be interested.

do you dream of glamour and intrigue? murder and espionage? have you ever wanted to be a film noir star? or maybe just wear a trenchcoat and dark glasses? well, we can't offer you all that, but we CAN give you free food, $50 and a day in the life of a juror!

You should ask who wants to be a Rural Juror!

SIGN ME UP.

For those of you keeping track at home, M1sch@ and "Dewar"* both passed the bar exam.

*Not his real name.

did you????

I don't know. I threw my number away so I have to wait for them to mail my results.

I r dumbass

hay i know this is apropos of nothing but uh oh i am crushing on a friend :-/

u big dummy

xp that shit'll happen :-/

If Kevin's on the jury, then I'm on the jury. Throw us another $20 and we'll add some fistcuffs.

Jesse, I am not going to talk about Radiohead on the internet.

I came to the conclusion last week that I spend too much time talking about stuff and not doing a very good job of it.

Speaking of talking about stuff on the internet, have we yet collectively anticipated 30 Days of Night? Jordan? Because I am f'n ANTICIPATING 30 Days of Night. That is easily my favorite horror comic.

Also: Sam Raimi!

Also: Vampires!

deej invite your crush-friend to go see 30 Days of Night.

30! Days! of! Night!

Okay, I'm done anticipating now.

I lied! I was not done anticipating! I started a thread! That is the third thread I have ever started on all of ILX.

Hi Jenny.

I am going to go with a boring, stupid flier like The Predecessor made, and then I'm going to make a fun one, sort of like what Katie was suggesting.

Then I'll present them both to The Partners.

where shd i go for dinner in logan sq right now

DUNLAYS ON THE SQUARE

El Cid just renovated.

Oh yeah and that is 1.5 blocks from my house.

That's only if you're right by the actual square, though. It's a big neighborhood.
