Got steam to let off? Gripe away!

Re: Vent thread

I'm just sick of this fucking headache. It is a lot better with the new med my doc gave, but there is part of it in the back of my head that still just won't go away.

Also, okay, I get that things are messed up right now. And I'm absolutely in favor of giving current law school graduates temporary licenses. But diploma privilege is a stupid idea. The idea some people have of replacing the bar exam with a 1-2 year apprenticeship would work. But just doing away with the bar exam altogether and giving law licenses to everyone who graduates law school is a really stupid idea. Not everyone who graduates law school is ready or able to practice law. Even as someone who failed the bar exam the first time I took it (and then the first time I took it in a second state), I still think we need the exam, or something else in its place.

Everyone on my school's Facebook page has jumped behind this diploma privilege idea. And I just want to tell them how stupid it is. I don't because a lot of them are graduates and I don't want to be the current lawyer telling them they can't practice law. But come on. We need something. Not all graduates are ready.

I think a practical apprenticeship would be even better than just the exam!

When I worked in law the new hires were absolute nightmares to deal with. They all came with the attitude that they had nothing more to learn and were ready to just take on clients. They didn't know how to file anything in the office or lodge anything with the courts, they didn't know the computer system we used, they would demand the reception staff complete any tasks they saw as menial and talked down to them despite most of them having years of experience because "well they don't have a law degree" when actually our office manager did and another junior staffer was also a law student.

It's hilarious that so many privileged kids can do years of education and still think a law degree is going to work like a get rich quick scheme. You don't immediately get to charge X amount of dollars an hour because you graduated from whatever expensive school.

The number of them who thought they could get out of our firm's pro bono work because "my father is this person or they aren't real clients" too. Ugh.

I love the idea of an apprenticeship. I loved my internships in law school, and I love the idea of having a longer, post-graduation apprenticeship. I just don't love the idea of new graduates instantly getting licenses. That scares me.

The apprenticeship sounds like a medical residency and that sounds like a good idea.

Snap, crackle, pop! Arthritis~

[cakemage]

It's storming out and my arthritis is super pissed about it. My neck pops and cracks every time I move. It is decidedly not fun. Also I'm having a monster fibro flare, which is also something that happens every time it storms, which around here is practically a daily event starting in mid-July and (if we're lucky) clearing up around mid-September. So yeah, this is my least favorite time of the year. Add to that the nasty sinus infection I've been dealing with for the last two weeks, and I am most definitely not a happy camper.

I'm pretty sure one of my coworkers has COVID. She hasn't been in to work since last Friday, and I think the rest of us only get told if we've been exposed within the last 72 hours. But since COVID can take two weeks to show up and pre- and asymptomatic people can transmit the virus, I'm scared, since she frequently gave me lifts home (it seems safer than the trolley and bus I have to take otherwise since so many passengers and drivers refuse to wear masks even though they're required.) I got a ride with her last Friday. I hope she's okay, but I also hope I don't get it.

Why do I still wait for something to happen, even if nothing happens?
