Yeah, I knew mine but then it changed a few times (and I got a new card that has different points that I want to use instead)

Here's a job for you, flea, if you're looking: [link] Lee and I could probably get you up to speed with the right things to say if you wanted to apply.

Yesterday my office was 87, and today it is 67. Dressing in layers doesn't help with what these swings do to my sinuses.

I saw that job on my local board! Except for my entire lack of experience with Westlaw and legal research generally, I'd be a shoo-in. I suppose I could go teach myself stuff using the public law library in the city...

Let me know if you want to play with Westlaw, which has all sorts of tutorials, etc. Since they are only asking for a year of experience in a law library, I think you could make an argument.

Since it doesn't require an MLS, I am guessing they will get a ton of unemployed law school grads...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

H'm. I've got a co-worker (the person who now has my former job from hell, in fact) who does have an MLS and at least a bit of Westlaw and is desperate to get out of the hell job. I might pass that along to him -- I broke out, and now I feel compelled to keep sneaking spoons and nail files and sundry back to the guy trapped in my old cell. He doesn't deserve to be there. Nobody does.

(The librarians won't want to work with them.)

Anyone else ever pay for an online purchase with Paypal, just so you don't have to get up and get your credit card?

Yep. I prefer using Paypal overall.

How's the new job, Gud?

Hah--I was just thinking of you Sparky (and Lee) because over the weekend one of the people I saw was a friend of mine from drag, who was a lawyer, then went to library school, and now works at the Louisiana Supreme Court library.
