Has anyone here done Alexis Neely’s courses? Are they worth the money? TIA!
I showed the manageing partner her manifesto and he did NOT agree we could get away w/o my billeings. I told him I wanted to make money w/o workeing and billeing so much, but he said it was NOT for us. He said you have to be very pretty to be able to get away with that. He also said he would never be able to marry her b/c he could not live with anyone who was bossy, unlike Margie, who defers to him on everything! YAY!!!
Is there a Goodreads-like app for TV shows and movies? I want to exchange recommendations with my friends/family during this Golden Age of TV, but there are too many good shows out right now to list by memory.
iTV shows!
I read the COSMO article about the women in the NY AG’s office. Dad says I should apply b/c I have great litieagation experience, and I would be the onley blond working there. I told him they do NOT care about hair color and even tho I would be very noticeable, I would NOT make much money in public service. If I have to go that way, it will be as a JUDGE, where I can get the parties to write my opinion’s for me.
I am heading to the Hamtons this weekend for the manageing partner’s party. I am bringing the new associate, who just started today. She is very cute, but very young and inexperenced, haveing just graduated from law school. She has the office next to me, so I can call out and have her come when I need her to learn from me. She seems nice, so I will teach her everyting I know. YAY!!!!
Nice updates.
