Where is the partners' meeting? What does "partners' meeting" mean for a firm like yours?
― free societies must let drunken gay Texans have sex (Je55e), Monday, 19 March 2012 02:43 (twelve years ago) link
All partners in the firm from across the world have a meeting in one place to talk about things. Last year it was in Florida, this year it is in NYC. It's no fun because it's long hours and I have zero time to do anything else while I'm there.

What are your duties at this meeting?
― free societies must let drunken gay Texans have sex (Je55e), Monday, 19 March 2012 14:00 (twelve years ago) link
Set up equipment, provide support in the computer room, run around a lot and basically get everyone anything they need.

So basically I revert back to what my job was 4 years ago for a week.
there's an internet cafe on irving park that i noticed a while back because they had a "grand opening" sign up and i thought it was funny/sad that a new internet cafe was opening in 2011 (when i noticed it). today i realized that their name - "my little space" - is a myspace reference (their sign has the word "little" in a smaller font so it's more like MY little SPACE) and that just made it funnier/sadder
playing a show tomorrow night in logan square if you're looking for something to do

I voted this morning, but I kind of fucked it up. I don't recall ever having voted for judges beyond the Y/N retention question, so when I did my research, I only bothered noting the judges that were not qualified/recommended. I didn't realize I was expected to pick only one. So in a couple of cases I voted for a "qualified" candidate over a "highly qualified" candidate. Ah well.

I did vote for Jesse's dude, though.
― Cuba Pudding, Jr. (jaymc), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 15:04 (twelve years ago) link
The thing about "qualified" "highly qualified" is that the bar associations that issue those opinions are basing them partly on whether that candidate will be good for their ideology. So if the KKK Bar Association calls a candidate "not qualified" and the Puerto Rican Bar Association says "highly qualified," you probably want to go w/ the Boriquas' opinion.

who is jesse's dude, and what does that mean? I'll vote for him regardless.

I feel weird stumping for him but I know TONS more about him as a lawyer and as a person than I do about any other candidate for anything I've ever known, so I guess I should feel pretty OK about supporting him.

I broke the link on purpose, obviously.
I also voted for D0r0thy Br0wn's opponent for Clerk of Courtney b/c Cook Co. Circus Courtney is a fucking mess and I figure that Nun02 might at least do some good for a year or two before he becomes worthless.

Yay!
Almost done with grading midterms, one more meeting, it's 80 degrees, I jogged past some blooming dogwood trees today and it was glorious. That's about it.
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 18:48 (twelve years ago) link
I walked the dog past some blooming trees (dunno if it was dogwood) and thought "wtf smells like crotch?" Took me a second to remember about the crotchy smelling trees that bloom every year.

Dogwood are the crotch-smelling trees, yes. Wait. Dogwood trees are the trees that smell like crotch. I walked past a couple on the way home from the train last night.
It's above 80 degrees in our office. WHY GOD WHY?

They don't smell like crotch! They smell like flowers!

Those aren't the same flowering trees that smell like jizz, are they? B/c I don't think those are dogwoods.

You guys have messed up noses, that's all I can say. Also I made brownies with walnuts last night and the walnuts taste weird. I think they're old :(I ate the brownie anyway, but only because I've been having a crappy day and needed a treat, even one with OLD WALNUTS.
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 20:58 (twelve years ago) link
You know that there are flowering trees that are infamous for smelling like jizz, right?

Maybe dogwoods don't smell like crotch, but they smell weird.

Like, I'm probably taking this way too seriously (but come on - WATER! It is a big deal! Lake Michigan is a big lake! We might have to form a Chicago Militia to protect the lake from marauding outlanders!) but it's hard to believe a candidate for water reclamation commissioner who says she is all about the water, but also ran for and lost like four other elected positions in Chicago in the last five years or so. CLEARLY you just want to hold some kind of an elected office, whatever the hell it may be.
Debra Shore seems to actually care about it, and Kari Steele worked as a water chemist, so they seem like good picks. But I really enjoy not voting for Daleys and the rest of them are just clout hounds. Hmph.

No way man, my schnoz is in tip top shape. I am an excellent smeller, and my nose is large enough to be considered an authority on the matter of scent.

I figure amongst the regulars on the thread there's bound to be some worthwhile opinions on this:
I've written a bunch of web articles for the group of soccer lovers I've fallen in with and I'm wondering how I should preserve a few of the best of them as writing samples or portfolio items. The formatting's not that important, I'm just wondering how to strike a balance of 'officialness' while making them easily stored and shared. Screenshots? Text (html) files? Both?

Upload to Google docs and email them to yourself. That's what I do with all docs I want to preserve. I usually also store them on my laptop or thumb drive at work.
