Re: The comeback of 90s fashion
I subscribe to the theory that if you’re old enough to remember it in style the first time, you’re too old to wear it this time. So maybe I’m squarely the wrong market, but why for the love of all things holy did they bring back the spaghetti straps over a white tshirt? It didn’t look good in high school in the 90s, it doesn’t look good now.
I just… can’t.

Ha, my mom always said the same thing, and now I’m finally old enough to agree with her! What’s next, the return of the velour mock turtleneck??

Recommendations for temp agencies in DC and NYC? I’m a lawyer, though my background is in public policy, and I’d happily do some temp admin as well if that could kick in sooner. Thanks!
Anon for this
I’ve used Special Counsel to hire temps and been happy with the folks they send us. I think we have gotten paralegals and attorneys through them for short term project work, but I think they also hire folks for law firm marketing, secretarial and other similar roles.

When I was an associate at a DC firm (8+ years ago), attorneys from Special Counsel helped with large document review projects. The company aND attorneys were great to work with.

PoliTemps is good too.

Im a cpa currently doing temp work. Not sure if this works in law, but have you tried marketing yourself? Temp agencies mark the rate thru pay you up a ton. You can make more and the firm can pay less if they contract with you directly.

I heart Lyn Slater. She inspires me!

The New York Times wrote a piece “Health Care, Daughters Know All About it” that is worth a read and a call to your elected representatives to assure that there are solid healthcare options for our aging parents and elders. Daughters are not a health care plan. End of life care can affect work and living situations.
The Onion had a piece a few years back that had a son saying Mom and Dad’s health is declining – and my sister will take care of it. After all, she gave them a ride to one doctor appointment, so she is eminently more qualified than me.
