Used my lawyer skills to get a denied puppy insurance claim overturned. Can't wait to add this bullet to my resume.

@young_litigator Don't show this tweet to my puppers.

After almost 4 years of cosleeping with my kiddos, it’s been 3 nights in a row of each kid sleeping in their own bed by themselves all night long! Hooray 💃🥰

@Lawl_Assoc Also demand that your dog can attend.

@Lawl_Assoc RSVP after the deadline for more chaos.

@benefitsgirl The 403b answer book 😍

@CntrbtryNglgnc It's only going to get worse 🥲

I absolutely hate the future. Got an AI generated demand package in from a third party contractor. Someone on another continent then called me and wanted me to go through all sorts of rigamarole to confirm that I got it. About to send a very rare, impolite email to OC.

@capitalweather We have this much snow in south Arlington.

3:41 p.m. — Temperatures dip near freezing in the snow Temperatures have dropped near and below freezing north of the Beltway, including much of D.C. Readings further south are also in similar territory in some locations, with others as mild as the mid-30s, but numbers there are also falling. As the sun dips lower in the sky, areas that fall to and below 32 may see some slushy accumulation on roadways. However, roads were relatively mild going in and without heavier snow rates, most spots will remain largely wet. In other words: be cautious for the potential of slick spots, but don’t expect to run into much of that. The heaviest snow is already done north and west of D.C., with a wind down increasingly spreading east and south over time. High resolution weather models and radar extrapolation suggest that much of the activity will be ending areawide by around 6 p.m., and earlier in the west or north. The final hour or so of snow could be quite light and inconsequential. So far, reports are few. They mostly range from a coating to 1.5 inches. Recent numbers include: 3.3 inches in Round Hill, Virginia 1.5 inches in Leesburg, Virginia 0.7 inches in Herndon, Virginia 0.5 inches in Chevy Chase, Maryland 0.2 inches at Dulles International Airport

@Lawl_Assoc Congrats!

@am_yers This happens to me often. Then, later that night I realize I'm starving and decide to bother the UberEats guy again.

Some days at work, I get to 3PM without having breakfast or lunch, but I'm not hungry, and I think, huh, that's weird. As I open my 14th kitkat.

Just got an interview request for a government job I applied for in 2023 or 2024???

DC literally let's people from Maryland drive in the city but Waymo is getting frozen out. Cool.

@AllThingsCivil Just had flash backs to DTS 😭

What are the chances he tries to use his GTC to pay this

Saying this from today’s personal (embarrassing for me) experience : My mentor when I first started as a baby lawyer used to tell me very few things are not fixable, and it’s true. The fix may not be ideal, but there is often an option. It can be embarrassing to drop a ball or mess up… but it is a million times better to own up to it and get to fixing it than trying to cover it up.

@THEJaxEsq One hundred percent this.

@BarExamTutor Solid advice. Understanding that those practice problems in bar prep are intentionally more difficult and used to help teach the tricky rule exceptions helped me feel better.

Advice I gave on Reddit. I'm sure there are some on here right now in their final days of studying. I don't mean for this to be sort of zen or whatever the word might be (new age?). It's meant to be practical; I've been around this test for a long time. #barexam

MFA is great for PACER but PACER is not great.

Finally, some good news.

@Lawl_Assoc I wish I could take the metro, but it takes way longer than driving. I live by Del Ray. If I leave early in the AM to hit the gym before work, I can easily get to my office in 15 minutes. But if I leave around 830am, it takes me closer to 45, lol.

@Lawl_Assoc Are you driving to work or taking public transport?

@emlawcatmom It depends, but I probably would. Seems like an opportunity to show good will to opposing counsel to make the professional relationship better.

When opposing counsel's paralegal clearly made a mistake on something, do you bring it to their attention?
