So, okay, I got ABRUPTLY VOLUNTEERED FOR this legal clinic on Wednesday. It was on Thursday night, and then they were HERE YOU GO THE CASELIST ♥ and that's when I realised I had to prepare
seven entirely new cases between Wednesday afternoon
and Thursday evening. I went into PANIC LOCKDOWN and then I thought
Hell, if I can do this, there is going to be so little that is going to scare me after that.
oh
God, last night I got back past 10pm (volunteering at a legal clinic), and
tonight I got back near
midnight (... LAWSOC EVENT)- and the crazy thing is that I'm really starting to
realise that you can actually wake up thinking about your job, go to sleep thinking about your job, dream about your job, and if you wanted to you could CHOOSE to hang with
only people
from or associated with your job, and the saddest part of the whole deal is
part of me thinks it can't get much better than this.
BUT PLEASE I MUST ADVISE YOU. If you are ever attacked by someone with a can of insecticide,
please do not under any circumstances open your mouth.
Ladies and gentlemen,
WELCOME TO MY JOB
oh
god. On the Thursday morning I was feeling
so smashed by the clinic stressout that before going to work (ALL BEFORE OFFICE HOURS AT 9AM, OKAY) I curled up in Starbucks and had coffee and did my case preparation, and happened to pick up a paper lying on the sofa. I think it was one of those incredibly pretentious and wordy foreign newspapers in the line of the Wall Street Journal (I AM SORRY. I READ CURRENT AFFAIRS FOR THE LAW. I SUCK.) AND IT HAD THIS CARTOON. And I was so tired and such a nervous wreck, but it made me grin (as did the
incredibly cheerful guy who was behind the counter at Starbucks. Made my morning, I tell you. And I tell you,
service staff make a difference.
also I am one of those really freaky people that always play this secret game with service staff, especially if they look really tired and grouchy: I always have this private competition with myself to see if I can make them smile. So, say I go to a subway counter to get a top-up and the person looks really grouchy, I always smile my brightest smile and thank them and tell them to have a good day. AND SOMETIMES IT WORKS AMAZINGLY. ♥ There was this reallllly cranky-looking guy who was behind the counter at the train station, and I did the smile thing, and
HE SMILED BACK. And it was doubly incredibly because I was SO SUPERSURE THAT HE WOULD NOT SMILE BACK BUT WANTED TO TRY ANYWAY.

... I think this last one is probably a joke only lawyers find funny :(((
I DON'T KNOW WHY ALL THE COMICS ARE GOING ON TO LEGAL/COURTROOM THEMES THIS WEEK. ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING. Even
Peanuts has Snoopy as a "World Famous Attorney" defending Peter Rabbit and Trying To Prove to Your Honour that "My client never had any intention of going into Mr. Mcgregor's garden."
Also I got these amazing quizzes from
adayume:
GUYS YOU HAVE TO TRY
Wordle.
It is bloody embarrassing how much SPANNER is splashed all over the place. SHOUICHI TOO.
And you can make your results look different, too:
lolololol mafia persona:
So once I wrote this fic, which had, essentially, Spanner as the boss, and Gokudera as his right-hand man, with the both of them raising chibi!Tsuna. THEN I CHANGED ALL THE NAMES, but anyway,
ALSO THE NEXT ONE. I am always of the opinion that these seme/uke classifications never put me in the right place,
ever, but in particular I
demand a retrial for HIS ONE Seme/Uke quiz. I tied
so perfectly in my result that the quiz had to give me a
tiebreaker question to settle it once and for all, and EVEN THOUGH MY PERCENTAGES STILL WERE PERFECTLY EVEN, AND STILL I GOT:
THIS MISERABLE EXCUSE OF A RESULT
My percentages tie perfectly for Gentle Seme and Optimistic Uke, GODDAMIT.
ROFL. I'm both the most loving seme and the lowest of the ukes. RETRIAL.

The SEME or UKE Quiz created with QuizFarm.com |
You scored as The Optimistic UKE You are the kindest, most sweet, and cutest of all UKE kind. This is not really a bad thing, actually it's very good. You may be the lowest level of UKE but you are also the happiest and most adorable. You are often a fan of things you can snuggle with and cartoons will never grow boring for you. You smile a lot and nothing ever seems to get you down which makes you a great match for the Gentle SEME. Be warned, though, my Uke-friend.. rough times await you if a Homicidal SEME lingers too close. You would do well to befriend a Sorrowful UKE as I'm sure your happy-go-lucky attitude will balance out their depression. On my last note I will say that ropes, whips, and chains aren't your fancies even if they are tempting - I'd stick to just the simple stuff if I were you.

I hope you can clock in earlier hours, you go home so late, wow! D:
Those wordle things look so cool, I'm gonna have to try them out! XD
... I'm not even gonna try that quiz. -knows what she'll get ;3;-
Thank you ~ ♥ Actually, um. Coming back past 10pm is not so bad, my really-bad days are the coming-home at 2am - 3am - and beyond days. Then there are the "never coming back at all" days. But um, you could say that I knew it came with the territory.
Wordle is awesome! I could burn hours on it. You could stuff chat logs in it, RP journals in it, profiles, user interests, fic into it, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
You and that quiz? HOMICIDAL SEME. ♥ :D :D :D
<-- working as a research lawyer in crim only firm.
*sends you lots of coffee, and love to go with*
... I started out in criminal work, too! ♥ HI THERE. ♥ It sounds like it's been tough for you so far? :(
And my word cloud? I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE. o_o
NICE SERVICE STAFF ARE AWESOME. THEY SHOULD BE REWARDED. A LOT. ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO SMILE WHEN THEY ARE TIRED. My happy Starbucks barista wished me a good morning and asked me how I was, and after I answered and asked him how he was, he said, "very, very, very tired. But I'm working with great people and that's why I have energy! You can come and work here too! :D ♥"
SO AWESOME. ♥

created with QuizFarm.com
You are the truly highest level of SEME as well as the most dangerous and sadistic. You love to force others to do your bidding and have absolutely no clue what others mean by 'feeling sorry'. You like the dark, evil, and heartless but nothings fun if you don't get to break it. You will not tolerate others pushing you around and an easy word for your personality is bossy. You could skip the romance and get right to the bed if you wanted to but then again you never even need the romantic-hoo-ha and that's why you're matched with he Devilish UKE. All UKE fear you in some way but that's jut how you like it. You could never befriend anyone that your little Devil-UKE didn't show you to which means the only SEME you would get along with would be the Breaker SEME. It has been established that you are the kinkiest kink in all of kink-town but one thing you really love is to make your partner beg and to punish them. Don't be afraid, be insane.

The SEME or UKE Quiz
created with QuizFarm.com
You are the most loving, romantic, and loyal SEME but you also have a protective side that won't stop for anything. You are devoted to making your love and your friends happy but don't take it too far, being too trusting is a major flaw in your design and it is important to atleast TRY to deny the 'cute face'. You wish to be honest and only want to live happily ever after in a love-story all your own. You never say die and will do whatever it takes to help those you care for. You are, of course, best matched with the lovely and caring Optimistic UKE who will take any protection you are willing to give and who is sure to brighten your day. You would do well to stay clear of the Devilish UKE if you feel like staying alive anytime soon. Befriending the Breaker SEME would be your best bet. You aren't the kinkiest and you'd rather just kiss. The fire of love isn't meant to be destructive in your eyes - it's meant to be warm and relaxing.

Why do I hang out with you, again?
CLEARLY YOU ARE SCARY AND MANIPULATIVE AND, YOU KNOW, MUKURO.
It was really bizarre. I read Dilbert before I worked (as a student, part-time) in an office, and after I did, I realised all the horrible things they said were TRUE.
Like that one about using interns as staple-removers.
I believe in the existence of the angry!secretary and the accompanying cubicle rage.
My HR director had a strip of Catbert, the Evil HR Director on her door.
But thank god my boss was not pointy-haired.
It's really fun! (:
HOW CUTE! ♥ So everyone feeds you and enquires after your well-being, omg ♥
HEYYYY IT WORKS WELL AS A SOCIAL STRATEGY.
waugh. Using a Byakuran icon CHANGES EVERYTHING.
But, you know, it's really great that you smile at everyone. I think the staff must be very happy to have you around to brighten up their day.

It's something like that!
Also, I did your REALLY WEIRD FST THING there is actually a VAGUE LOGIC behind it surprisingly enough D:
it was honestly harder to put together than the Byakuran and Longchamp one and that is SAYING SOMETHING
