I might need to talk to you, considering my new job and who I'm working for.

I saw that.  Pretty cool.  I prefer their competitor, but they are a good second choice :)

Haha, I don't actually know anywhere near enough to comment. But I am starting to understand how things get published and what the weaknesses are.

I've always been curious how that works.  It seems like an extreme amount of work.  Especially all the cross-referencing.

There's a lot of technical wizardry and relying on phrasing, but also a fair amount of manual work. The process is changing but it's going to take a while. It's why they hire people like me.

Can you get me an employee discount?  :autism:

Congratulations!

Thank you :)

I have 13 days off now until summer semester begins!

congrats! I might have asked this elsewhere but...are you studying law? if so...what exactly are you interested in?

My background in business lends itself to business law, but my passion is in helping kids and criminal defense.  As I transferred to a better school after 2 years, and have to complete a full 2 years at the better school, I will have 33% more school than your average new law grad.  So I am using the situation to gain a very broad legal education. So far I have specialized (taken 2 or more upper-division electives) in: business law, family law, bankruptcy, intellectual property, contracts & real estate.

Interesting. Have you ever had the opportunity to volunteer with a pro-bono organisation that represents children? Anyways, I was asking about your background because I find political philosophy interesting, and like to learn about constitutional law and human rights law.
Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

Yes.  I do work for the Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence.  I am looking into doing side work as a Guardian Ad Litem for the state.  There is a magistrate judge that I work with in the child protection court that has almost convinced me to become a foster parent.  Need to convince my wife of that one first :)

Con Law is not what anyone thinks it is, until they go to law school anyway.  It's boring as hell, but I'm happy to discuss in another thread if you want.

Take immune supplements?

I've had swollen lymph nodes and it was always part of some infection. I would eventually go to an urgent care and they would prescribe me antibiotics.

TBH, I always use more than average amounts of anti-oxidants, such as melons and berries, greens, etc.

Thank you, but the only ones which still show swelling are directly under my jaw. In ONE DAY it seems as if most of the trouble has gone elsewhere.

It is not uncommon for swelling in the face to "drop", starting at the brow, ending below the jaw.
Don't know where I found that, and can't be arsed to look for it again. I looked it up a while ago because my ex was having an inflammatory swelling, that after the inflammation was under control slowly migrated over his face, to disappear once it was below the jaw.

Slipping into post travel routines at home.  Did my first yoga class in a week.  Unfortunately, this particular teacher played this monotone music in the back ground which made my focus near impossible.  Fortunately, I've been prepared and carry ear plugs at all times, since whenever I ask for the music to be turned down I get a wall of resistance as it is the instructors, "artistic freedom" to play anything and everything at (what to me) are loud levels.  I have sound sensitivities which means certain sounds can drive me to distraction.  But, the ear plugs made it tolerable and I could still make out what the instructor was saying.  But, the moves and focus are what I needed to transition back to grind.   :P

Got my flu injection for free at the doctors and it was also done without me having to wait or come back another day.

The bread kid and I made yesterday turned out really well. Had been a long time, since we baked bread. Often the first after a long time isn't that good.
