Today is a new day...a new day that I'm going to be tired for because my body decided to wake up 15 mins before my alarm, but a new day nonetheless.
Finishes working on Friday night
Man, I feel like I've had a productive week and I'm tired...
*checks time entries* only 0.5 away from my billable goal for the week (I'm going to bill a couple hours tomorrow because I've got the work to do)
Yay for having the work!
Did I just close my office door and put on my headphones to signal to everyone in the office that I cannot be bothered? Absolutely, this mediation statement isn't going to write itself.
here is a very silly thing to be annoyed about. the microsoft products on my work computer updated and they all look slightly different now. all my settings are the same, but the icons look just a little bit weird to my eyes.
Yesterday, I received the judgment for my first trial (bench trial in May). We lost, but it being my first trial and first lost stings particularly bad. We did everything we could, but we still feel like the it was the wrong outcome.
Want a bit of a lesson of trademarks and fashion? check out this guy's thread. As an IP lawyer with a deep appreciation for fashion and fashion history, this is totally my jam.
When I'm sick I tend to not eat because nothing sounds good. But man alive I just ate some life changing applesauce. (It was just normal room temp nothing special but *chef's kiss*)

Someone turned the heat to my office as high as it possibly goes. Was it cool this morning? yes. It's going to be 80 tomorrow and my office is unbearable now. Time to find a cooler place to work for a bit...
To track #billables, I handwrite everything then I enter it into our tracking system. There are more efficient ways, but this works for me. But then there are days (like today) when I'm too tired to do step 2, but still I must. #lawyerlife

Bucky Barnes using a dishwasher to wash his metal arm sends me so hard😭🤣 #Thunderbolts
My 4th grade teacher did this. I remember her reading Where the Red Fern Grows and had the entire class sobbing to the point where we took an unscheduled break outside to get our minds off the sad book.
The best teachers In elementary do read alouds. 30 mins after lunch and recess where the kids sit quietly and calmly and listen to a really knowledge and vocab rich book, usually one in the “elementary cannon” (😆) like Mixed Up Files of Mrs Basil etc.
It is CRAZY how differently this can look in each classroom and how it can be useless if behavior isn’t managed.
Kids hang on every word and learn so much (writing, vocab, geography, cultural mores, how to get the most out of readings and theater, what prosody looks like) if it’s done right.
Kids learn that reading is boring and you can tune out and do whatever you want and that being good listeners is “uncool” and “not my thing” if it’s not done right.
PS: Parents: You will never know what your kid is getting. Schools and their leaders by and large ignore this.
I've been taking tap dance classes for years now. Decided to try something new and take a jazz class as well. The single 1 hour class I have taken so far kicked my butt and stretched muscles I am definitely not used to stretching. #limpingaroundtheoffice
Going to @f1rstwrestling show tonight. Being the IP law nerd that I am, I'm very excited to see @DanhausenAD's trademark registered makeup in person.
Am I very tired today? Yes. Is my tiredness because I stayed up late on a "school night" to attend @poolboyband's album release? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely! Great show! Great album!
i got a haircut over the weekend and the stylist cut my hair a little shorter than i am used to. it isn't sitting behind my ears nicely, so i'm constantly pushing my hair out of my face
hey #lawtwitter, do any of you handwrite drafts of letters, sections of briefs, etc. before typing? I've found that I can concentrate better when I handwrite, but it seems very inefficient. At the same time, I'm doing major revising when I'm typing everything.
