Everyone getting emelkay off?

What a perfectly timed holiday.  Though not one of the better drinking holidays.

Ron Paul wants you to get your ass back to work.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I've it off though I don't understand why.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

No, but getting paid for it.

Nope, I'm working.  MLK's sacrifice has been for naught.  :mad:  BTW, why the fuck am I still up?  :huh:

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I went to sleep at 11:45 and woke up at 2 a.m.  WTF is this shit?  I only got four hours of sleep last night, then worked nine on the busiest day of our week.  It's like my body doesn't want me to do my bar application shit tomorrow.

Should I: listen to it? :P

Edit: oh wait, it's MLK day.  None of the places I'd need to go to will be open.  Might as well dick around till six in the morning.

You goddamn ahole you better not quit on some stupid-ass excuse like lack of sleep. You HAVE to become a proper lawyer. Languish lacks them.

I didn't make the decision to close courts and schools on MLK Day.  I'll do it Tuesday.  I just need: certified copies of my criminal proceedings (this is by far the biggest pain in the ass), my LS transcript, some character affidavits from people who barely know who I am and... I think that's it.  I've got my birth certificate and UG transcript, and I'm getting fingerprinted (ninety-four fucking dollars :bleeding: ) on the 25th.

Then I probably get slammed by character and fitness and forfeit my $700 filing fee and the multi-thousand dollar bar prep course I don't know how I'll pay for.  Should be great.  If I don't, I take the bar in July, by which point I may have gotten a non-attorney job that I enjoy, so it will be utterly pointless.  And even if that's not the case, I'll owe bar dues.

Oh, yeah, I've got to go view some trials and shit too.  And take the Bridge the Gap program, which I think costs money, and in any event is pointless.  Man, when you spell it all out, it seems almost as retarded as it is.

All that said, is there a good way to point out on your resume that you didn't fail the bar twice, you were just trying to pursue gigs that didn't involve bar admission?  Because I imagine some legal employers will just assume that's what happened if I'm not explicit about it.  Of course, it's difficult to say which one is dumber, so maybe silence is golden.

Theroetically I have off, yeah, but since we're in the middle of year-end close I'm probably going to spend half the day working (from home).

Pfft, I work for Corporate America.  We don't have enough black employees.  It's a Monday.
