I hope the significant otter is doing her residence in neurosurgery. Sounds like you need a lobotomy. ;):rolleyes::p:D

I am tacking on a MIS to my JD.

Why get a 2nd JD you sure it isn't a LLM?

Speaking of upgrades, I think I may be in a "battlefield" situation for the first time ever...

Original flight plans for today: DEN-IAH-LGA, arriving ~11:30 pm. On the way to the airport, I saw that my first leg was delayed - enough that I wouldn't make my connecting flight (which was the last of the day). Rather than taking a chance at spending the night in Houston, I asked the agent at the check-in counter if she could rebook me on another flight. She put me on DEN-EWR nonstop tonight (CO529). Booked into M, which puts me at #1 on the upgrade standby list with F capacity 16, 15 booked, 12 checked in.

The flight is currently delayed 41 mins to a 6:30 pm departure. I assume that my job now is just to go to the gate, continue to hang out, and hope that the GA can work some magic at boarding time?

Nah... I just needed the UK to give me a work visa about five years ago, so I didn't have to start back at square one.

You too? I also can't think in calendar format. If someone tells me "the 14th to the 17th", I always shoot back "What days are those?"

Perhaps you could work something out on the side with the delivery drone?

Why anyone would want to get a J.D., whether it is their first, second, third, or whatever, is beyond me. Absolute waste of time and money.

I actually enjoy the area I've been clerking in for the past 5 years.

Time for food and beer... Adios, Box.

I live in the area of ATL where the drone (or Andrew, the delivery expert) takes my 20$ and never comes back with the beer.

Geographically or professionally speaking? :D

Regardless, I found clerking and practicing law to be two totally different beasts. May you find otherwise.

I wanted to lose my soul in the most complicated way imaginable.

I've never been successful in obtaining a companion upgrade. I hear they exist, supposedly.
