Because books.

Hmmm. Thanks, Jesse.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Amy, I believe a CV lists EVERYTHING EVER, including publications, committees, speaking engagements, etc.

My own hivemind question-

Is grey a weird color for a really weird costume version of a private school jacket? Could some wear gray and others navy or black? I am looking at this to modify

Or does anyone have any idea where to get that type of patch?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My old firm Morgan Lewis laid off lots of people yesterday.

They're taking a novel approach to their incoming classes:

**********

Law firm Morgan Lewis & Bockius will not have a first-year class of lawyers starting in fall 2009 and has informed its incoming summer interns they will not receive full-time jobs until 2011. The firm announced this shortly after it announced it would be laying off 55 lawyers and 161 support staff Monday afternoon.

In a memo to 2009 summer interns, Philadelphia-based Morgan Lewis said it has decided to defer the start date for incoming entry-level lawyers until October 2010. Those first-year lawyers would normally start in October 2009 after graduating in May and taking the state bar exam.

The firm said it will offer each affected new associate the chance to work in a public interest organization for that year and will pay each a $5,000 monthly stipend. The firm could save $85,000 in salary per associate and possibly more if the firm does not offer benefits.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It all comes back to health care.

Sophia, at my school we had the option of wearing grey, navy, white, or the school plaid. [link]

My gut feeling is that a school with uniforms formal enough to require a jacket (which we weren't) would have them all the same color.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow. That's kind of cool, really. But hard on the people expecting to be corporate attorneys, obviously!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Sophie, I think grey would be an acceptable school jacket colour.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Sophia, I think that if there's a jacket to the uniform they'd be, um, uniform.

I think the uniform jackets come with the patches on them. However, I have seen patches in fabric stores (I think ... it's been a while). You could get something with a coat of arms kind of look that would probably do the job.

Er...I should probably mention that the majority of my classmates at that school were spoiled brats and by senior year I was quite happy to have no real friends.
