Oh, no -- no London! I am so sad for you!
I'm pretty sure that wasn't a romance novel.
Sure it is — it's really Stephen King's long-lost romance novel "When Pennywise Got His Groove Back."
That's my girl... That's my good girl.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Unfortunately it is only 9 - 3:30 and no options for before or after care, so that is something to work out.
That is so ridiculous! I feel sort of bad (both ways) for making this comparison, but the day program my father goes to has hours like this, so he gets home hours before my mother does. It would be fine if other people didn't have, you know, jobs!

One of my other favorite shenanigans from working at Orrick:
A guy there was up for partner. His dad worked for the NSA. The guy used an NSA codebreaker program he got from his dad to go through the firm's document system and read individual attorney reviews of his work. (The individual reviews are raw comments and are definitely NOT politic or open for viewing. They get boiled down into a very polite, mildly worded version of the actual review before it is delivered.)
He was caught because - duh! - having the password doesn't mean you can't see who was opening the documents in the system.
Did they fire him? Nope. He made partner.
He's no longer at Orrick. Ken Aboud, you total bastard.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So Obaman has now said that same-sex couples should be able to marry.
Curses! Scooped by JZ by less than a second.

Is your jaw dropped, tommy? Because mine is.
Are you also begging all the PTB in the universe that this doesn't mean the bigots are going to come out foaming and raging he's going to get hammered and swept in November? Because I sure am. Please, please, please.

The bigots weren't voting for Obama anyway. He's a muslim, remember?

Holy shit.
The funny thing is, Orrick was one of the least dysfunctional law firms I ever worked at. They actually had their shit together at the top level and knew what they were doing (mostly). But shit still happens and when it does they are guided by expedience.
