Ryan Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Is the scene near the end using a cop to do your legwork legit? That seems unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 8 hours ago, Mike Campbell said: I can only think of one courtroom scene that doesn't seem to be on the level. The scene where the prosecution calls up the FBI forensic analyst, and Vinny objects that the defense hadn't been given any notice, and wasn't able to properly prepare cross, but the judge shot him down. Oh no that's very accurate. Most judges will bend over backward to let the state do whatever they want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 This is someone else's good news, but holy shit. A friend and former college classmate is the assistant director of an upcoming production of Night of the Iguana. Which is cool and all, but okay... They just announced the first cast member: http://www.playbill.com/article/james-earl-jones-will-appear-in-night-of-the-iguana-revival Motherfucking James Earl Jones!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I had to haul ass up to MD on Friday because my beloved domestic female partner had to be rushed to the ER. Turns out she's got a kidney stone. Still not fun but better than something more serious. I have her swimming in cranberry juice and Lentil soup right now.. Her heart says, I love you, baby, but her eyes say, Burn in Hell, you bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 As a veteran of 20+ stones, "all things shall pass." I learned to just lie in bed with a heating pad on my back and wait the (hopefully) day or two. Of course, some are small, some not so. Best wishes.

Brian Fowler Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I've only had one, but it wouldn't pass, had to be surgically removed. That was a bad ten days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 While an undergrad, a friends dad had a bunch at once and had to have blasted sonically and then passed. Luckily, as it were, all mine have been one at a time, albeit 3 or 4 a year for a while, mainly when i still drank soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I started out at my current job as a contractor doing IT support. It was supposed to be for six months then they'd bring me into a permanent position. 6 months passed, nothing happened. A year passed, nothing happened. They always told me it was due to budgets or some issue with getting the process going. So after working a tad shy of two years here out of the blue they say they got the paperwork to bring me on full-time. And while orientation is technically next week I'm officially part of the company and no longer a contractor. This might not seem like much to some, but it means tons to my wife and I. I've been doing contract jobs for the better part of 6 years. Some had hopes of going full-time, others were dead ends. It's been a long time wondering when things would be stable with my work. Now I can look finally look forward to things like paid time off, benefits and tuition reimbursement. This is what I've been hoping to get all this time, and I'm damn happy to finally get it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured as long as I knew I was putting in some good work then either A. I'd eventually be brought in or B. They let me go but I'd have a helluva gig to talk about in the job interviews. Thankfully the former option played out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I don't have to go through job interviews again, no matter how good they might be if it goes nowhere it's demoralizing. And while I technically could bake a cake, I can't guarantee the quality of said cake would be the best. But I can sure as hell help some dumbass connect to a printer!

This was my go to question as a recruiter, it's basically "Can you follow directions?" Any idiot can bake a cake following the directions on the box, it's the ones that don't feel the need to that are going to be a problem. ;-) Let me repeat the story of my failing to ask a candidate this question, because I was so blown away by his resume, he was just exactly what a client of mine was looking for. Salary = $100K-$120K per year, means I would make about $33K on the deal... So yeah, I forgot to ask the question, set up a meeting at a local steakhouse frequented by all the players in N. Cali road construction and this asshat shows up in full medieval regalia and tells the hiring authority that he's in SCA and has a tournament right after lunch... I never failed to ask the cake question again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 After working 5 years in retail hell, I finally got promoted to a full time job with a set schedule with 40 hours a week and benefits. And it feels so god damned good. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'm not sure where to even put this. LootVault made the mistake of sending me a 80% off coupon (they said it could have been anything from 40% to 80%, but I don't know if everyone got 80% off), perhaps not realizing that I will buy just about anything: So for around $50 (with free shipping) I got a lot of cool stuff as I tried to focus on items that including clothing I would actually wear or figures of things I enjoy. The Plush Throw is the only thing I don't care about personally but I'll give it to my sister, as I will the Halo Wars crate. Hell I don't even know if they will make any money at all as shipping all that from CA to VA won't be cheap. A good day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
