Good Xorning, 2008!

[InfinityDragon]

Thanks all.

Bar exam is now completed. No idea how I did on this part...it's 200 multiple choice questions, most of which are laden with cheap exam tricks. Oh well. There were about 55 questions which I had to guess based on a 33-50% chance and narrowed the others down to a 75-100% chance, so that should be enough to pass, since a score of 125 is usually sufficient to pass the exam.

By the way, what type of law are you planning on going into, anyway?

I'm going into the US Air Force JAG Corps, which means I'd generalist law rather than going into any specialty. My second choice was small business and estate planning, with a focus on taxation issues.

[Cotigo]

Oh, yeah.  I forgot you had said something about that earlier.

[Mad Fnorder]

Just noticed you were taking the bar now, ID. Best of luck on the results- You survived!

[Clear Tranquil]

Indeed.

Have an appointment for the Job Centre on Monday. Now I just need to decide what kind of job I want.

I have a few ideas, areas I've had experience in through volunteer work (working with horses, working with kids) and areas I'm interested in that I don't think I'd have a hard time picking up (working in a game shop, library work, dog walking, working in a pet shop)

[Captain K.]

Congrats, ID.  Nice to see that gamer rules-lawyering skills have real-life applications.

[OblivionKnight]

Ahem...

FUCK

PHARMACY

LAW

Anyway, 1 licensure exam down, 1 to go.  Next one is on Thursday at 2pm.  NAPLEX...mmm...clinical applications.  Actually think the pharmacy law exam went ok.  Which actually is worrying!  The general consensus, due to it being computer adaptive, is that if you found it ungodly difficult, you passed, and vice versa if you found it easy.  So if you found it fairly normal, like me?  >_>

I don't believe any of that, though.  Think I did fine - when in doubt, pick something stringent!   

[Xeroma]

Look on the bright side OK.

It beats IWBTG.

So I'm working on an article about a design for a house that's supposed to generate all the power a family of four would need to live there. The builder is calling it a "no energy bill house," or "NEB house" for short. This is unsettling.

[Sierra]

The Canadians are taking over! Oh sure, today they just want us to live in houses named after elves. But in time they'll want us to talk like elves, think like elves, LIVE like elves. And by then there's no turning back. Shale, it is your job as a journalist to unearth the whole sordid truth behind this story and warn the people before it's too late!

[superaielman]

I favor immediate tactical nuclear strikes on all major Canadian cities and Edmonton.

[Excal]

Super, contrary to what you might think, Edmonton is a major Canadian city (And by Major Canadian city, we mean most people in Toronto have a vague idea that it exists.)

[TranceHime]

copying and pasting my rant:

I hate the way I'm being treated at school. I'm not being... beaten up or bullied per se, however, I have to deal with a crapload of perverts who want to touch me inappropriately and people trying to sweet-talk me for no apparent reason. I was ranting about this to someone over IRC, and I got to thank them a lot. If you want me to cite certain instances, I can bring them up right now.

1) There's this one dude in my class who keeps wanting to touch my chest for no reason. At all. He'd just come up and do his thing, so I have to keep hitting him for that. Or threaten to eviscerate him with a pencil. Either works. I have no words, he also likes to make comment about my chest. "lol why are your boobs so flat" or "you're hot" for no reason. It annoying.

2) I have this other guy who keeps wanting to come on to me and it's creepy and weird and what the hell. And the dude kept whispering stuff in my ear that I couldn't understand. Waaargh.

3) Some dude was asking me "hey can I see your nipples ROFL" and started laughing really weirdly, like some maniac. It was creepy.

4) One time, a guy I knew was saying (hopefully as a joke, a sick one, but a joke nonetheless) "Hey, you're skin and bones, so you must've been raped a lot!" Who the fuck jokes about shit like that? It's not very funny to be joking about things like raep, even if 4channers and the like do it /all/ the fucking time. That's horrible!

and countless of other things. Gaaaaah.

[Ultradude]

Rawr. Mayhem Festival entertainment. More postiness tomorrow or something.

[Cotigo]

That sounds like the plot of a really crappy anime, Trance.

[Grefter]

Tell them you are really a guy if the above is the case.

[Sierra]

Tell them you are really a guy if the above is the case.

Yeah, this sounds like the best plan. Unless, y'know, they're into trannylikes. In which case it might backfire.

EDIT: I saw a bumper sticker yesterday that proclaimed the owner to be an attendee at LARPfest 2007. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

[TranceHime]

That sounds like the plot of a really crappy anime, Trance.

That sounds so true I don't even know how to react to that.

Tell them you are really a guy if the above is the case.

They are deaf to my proclamations.

[superaielman]

..Wait you're not a guy? Well hell. Regardless that is shitty. Can't go to the admistration and complain? I know you live in a different country, but sexual harassment is sexual harassment regardless.

Edit: Now I'm just confused by the gender thing, and it's completely irrelevant to this anyway. Your life really is like a bad anime.

[Dunefar]

Good luck no matter what, Trance.

So I managed to fall asleep and sleep through noms. Fuck. I slept for 12 hours and woke up with a screaming headache. Fuck. Oh, and we were out of drinks and lunch at home. Fuck. Going out to get stuff+extra strength Excedrin was not fun.

[Cotigo]

Edit: Now I'm just confused by the gender thing, and it's completely irrelevant to this anyway. Your life really is like a bad anime.

And like every bad anime, there's a 90% chance of tentacles.

[Shale]

Or, more preferably, over-the-top slapstick violence.

[Grefter]

Tentacles tends to have over-the-top slapstick violence.

[TranceHime]

I tried to do something about it today, but I failed miserably! How did I freaking fail this time?

They kept at it even more now. Even in the cookimg home ec class, they kept bugging me all the time in that manner. It disgusts me and pisses me off and argh. Tried telling, but I got stopped forcibly.

Good luck no matter what, Trance.

Thanks, Dune.

And like every bad anime, there's a 90% chance of tentacles.

Oh god tentacles are horrible.

[Captain K.]

..Wait you're not a guy?

Yeah, news to me too.

[Bardiche]

At this point he may think of it as a game. Have you considered telling him straight that you think he is a creepy pervert and that he should stay far, far away from you as is humanly possible because so help the gods, you will report him for sexual harassment (to the police/principal/confidenz perzon) if he tries again?

Also, HAH at everyone. My girldar isn't completely messed up, it ascertained TranceHime's gender properly!
