End-o-Summer News Round Up

Many things have happened over the summer, and Jeff “Tickle Me” McGuire suggested that I post them.

School

After working for a class action/mass tort firm for the summer, I’ve found my true calling. I would like few things better than to spend the rest of my career writing pretrial motions about the FRCP. I’m no longer worried about tax, so now I can (1) avoid those horrible tax courses and (2) try my hand at moot court. Oh happy day.

I’m not sure if they want this circulated, but here goes. The two people from glorious §b who were the biggest academic threats (and rivals for editorial positions) have transferred to a school outside the loop but inside the beltway. Combine this with the reported five people from §c and others from §§a and b, and all of the curves in the school just got easier for everyone; we’ll all move up a grade increment in our classes.

home life

The wife transferred out of her horrible store and into a very nice, upper middle class store in Pearland. I know it isn’t very PC, but lower income people (such as in our part of Pasadena) are, on average, extremely rude to cashiers and anyone else whom they can boss around.

We’re attempting to get out of our lease in the DMZ. We’ve sent out the complaint letters and were planning on filing suit next week. Unfortunately, they’re fixing the swimming pool today (one of our two biggest arguments), so we’re reevaluating out chances of success. We may very well be stuck in Harris County’s Purgatory for twelve more agonizing months.
