Ahhh. You have a point there, son.

So, maybe it's more like the top of one of those bathing suits that's a two-piece, but that covers the stomach. Think of a very tiny, sleeveless dress, that doesn't quite reach the belly button. That's what Jane looks like. She also has pretty flowers.

ETA: Tank Top!! That's what it's like. Except more sheer.

Before the horrified faculty could drag me from stage, I managed to say “some folks call this a storied profession - they wind up teaching. It’s a business, and the sooner you learn that, the better you’ll do. If came into this looking to make it a life, you’re doomed.”

I was told by a faculty member outside that my candor was not appreciated. But an adjunct just stood there with tears in his eyes, giggling.

I have not, and will not, be asked back.

Yes.

Anyone ever have a bitch session going with another GA about how fucked your firm is, then have an interview candidate come in, and you both proceed to explain how your firm is the best place to be, and so much better than the other big firm down the street, where the candidate will be at tomorrow.

When I was big law I didn't really compromise myself too much for the partners, but I always hated myself for not telling candidates- "this place is fucked, that place is fucked cut your best deal, and buy some nose plugs."

I'm not wearing a jacket. Sweater - relatively thick knit, and loose-fitting. I can't lose it, or I'd be sitting here in only my undergarment, and that would be chilly. Last week, I wore a thinner-knit sweater, and discovered that I was sporting the headlight look (thanks to the cold). I was mortified, and spent the rest of the day in my office, or with my arms folded, hoping nobody noticed.

I just accidentally stumbled upon the braless thing. Long story, but the punchline is I was somewhere where the only clean clothes I had were white shirts, but I had only dark-colored bras, so I just went without. I may never go back.

I am a little concerned about the sag factor, however. Meh.

While they're not sagging, make good use of them. Use the beams as a weapon, offensively. Don't hide them.

Re the headlights, fuck it. Its part of the body, and a damn good part at that. Go with it. I see women crossing their arms while they walk past to hide the headlights and think to myself, “That’s an uncomfortable way to walk, and its basically just advertising that you have headlights on.” Its much better to just go with it. Its like shaving your head when you’re going bald. Just accept what you’ve got going and if people want to look, whatever. I say why hide a nice asset?

The only baaad headlights are those the doughy motherfucker from IT is beaming through his Oracle-logoed golf shirt. That. Is. Nauseating. Or a kinda fat guy who has gynomastia. This one cat I buy magazines from has disturbingly developed breasts, but isn’t really all that fat. I can’t even look at the guy.

Truly. There's a guy upstairs who has that, um... problem, and he doesn't even bother to wear a t-shirt (or even a Jane!) under his shirt. It's pretty grisly.

If you dropped a $1M on their endowment fund you'd be asked back. That's the beauty of their convictions. Flexible.

Never gonna happen with me, but I appreciate the sentiment, Sebby. It's a nice look if you can pull it off.

All this talk of T-bras and headlights is making me sad. I bought a shirt I just adore and my TITS are not large enough to fill it no matter how much I lift/support/pad. I just keep looking at it longingly wanting to wear it. ANyone want an adorable shirt from Anthropologie that is designed for those who can get the barmaid type cleavage going?

I'd say maybe Taxwonk, but its probably not 2X right?

Undergarment - yes. Bra - no. I don't think you'd be able to get any hints, though, about actual boobal appearance with what I'm wearing.

It depends. How is the air conditioning in your office?

I don't think that she said there was a FB Tribute to Jerry -- I think she simply said something like she was too busy to chase the K because of some tribute to Jerry. Implying to me that she was baked and reeking of patchouli while listening to some godawful 27 minute drum solo in the middle of Truckin' recorded live in Peoria in 1978.

Are you kidding? I'd spend that money on a billboard next door saying "DO NOT GO TO LAW SCHOOL. Call 1-800-ASK-SEBY."

Are you kidding me? If I handed any law school a million bucks, the dean would suck me and every male relative of mine off.

Twice.

There is nothing scummier than a law school faculty. Drunks, career failures, lazy unambitious zeroes. And at the top is the King Whore, Dean Bloodyknees, who’d sell his daughter into white slavery and stuff his grandkids through a tree shredder for an endowment bump. You’d have to look exceptionally hard, even in politics, to find a group of lazier, more useless, smarmy, self-important, chickenshit, middle-managment, scared shitless and unable-to-think-beyond-protection-of-themselves people than law school faculty and admin. Wasted plasma, from the front office through to the librarian.

Why would you buy such a shirt? Everyone knows you have no TITS! Are you still in puberty and hopeful that you will grow some? Oh - I'll take the shirt.

And we men thank you for that.
