Career Services Career Fair

I just got an email from career services advertising a career fair. Applicants are encouraged to wear business attire and bring a student ID. Employers included run the gamut from Abercrombie and Fitch (retail), Carmax, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Pet Smart, Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, Waffle House, and Wal-Mart Distribution centers. They have officially given up on finding us legal work and want me to scatter, smother, cover, and chunk hashbrowns for minimum wage. It could explain how this woman has given me such great legal advice at 4AM.

I have never been so insulted in my life.

Distant Connection

So I just found out I have a distant connection to the guy interviewing me today. His wife did the flowers for one of my better friends growing up's wedding and he is good friends with my friend's wife's dad. I have met my friends wife only a few times and I've never met her dad. How do you imply a connection without it sounding like the first 45 seconds of this clip?



I hate playing the who you know card anyway.

Did you ever think about that, father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate? It could be his former roommate or his cousin's former roommate. At most distant it is his cousin's cousin's roommate.I'm thinking way to hard about this...

Up on Friday

I just came up at 8:15 for a make up class for Judge Federalist's class. When I got inside I saw a rush of my classmates coming out. When I got to the top of the stairs, Spicoli told me someone else was in the room and our makeup wasn't until 10:10. I just wish they had told me sooner.

After its done I have to wait around until 4 for a job interview with a major legal market firm. The firm is sending a name partner who went to this institution for undergrad. I'll bet anything he put it on this Friday to go to the game tomorrow and get a head start on tailgating.

They are interviewing the usual group of 12-15 students I see every time I go into the interview office. I want to send an email asking if I'm one of the five they drove to see or the ten they chose to fill time.

Note: This is NOT me complaining about a job search going lousy. I'm just complaining about having to be at school all day on a Friday.

So this is what it's like

After more than 20 OCI's during the course of 6 months I got a callback interview. It isn't in the town I want more than anything in the world but it is in a town with a lot of tourist attractions and history. Not a bad place to spend a summer if it comes down to it. Maybe not a bad place to live.

I guess I can't complain about job searching for at least the rest of the week. I mean I've always heard callbacks do exist, I just never believed it until now!

Job Search

Well I've been denied yet another interview in the big city in the county I reside for who knows what reason. I did get offered an interview at the happiest place on earth. I guess I'll be defending Goofy from the people who were injured due to his negligence as a contractor.



I was asked in a scholarship application if I intended to reside in the big city in my county and work there as a lawyer when I graduate. How can I answer that? Yes I do intend to work there if you intend to let me?

"This guy had a big-ass paddle, and I think he enjoyed doing it to the students. I guess he was a masochist…or rather I guess you should say he was a sadist, though he may have been a masochist. Maybe he was there paddling himself too. In any case, you could hear it when he was up there paddling them, ‘WHACK, WHACK, WHACK!’”

“Are agencies motivated by fairness? Do EPA employees lay awake at night wondering ‘oh, I wonder if I treated that paper mill fairly, oh I just don’t know’? Probably not, because what really motivates people? Money, fear…you know, the usual.”

El Guapo

The authors of this blog have invited me, El Guapo, to post. I have accepted, because, like them, I don't have enough to do in my life as a 2L. I am on Law Review and the Trial Ad team. I am expecting my first child in a month. I have a full load but not enough chances to complain about law school life.

For those who don't get the reference of my name, it is a shout out to the greatest comedic villian of the 1980's El Guapo, the Mexican Bandit and Eli Wallach parody of The Three Amigos.



I shall return with a plethora of posts
