Are you the dude that intimidates the witnesses? "Helping litigators" is a rather nondescript description. Presentation preparations, mock-ups, boards, data presentation and graphics, expert witness coaching, mock juries, settlement studies, data analysis and reporting, public relations a...

I will help litigators and in-house defense teams prepare for trials. (and be on call during trials) So, you make the Starbucks runs? I knew something was missing from my portfolio. Next time I job hunt I will add all these receipts for coffee I have laying around. Edited By Troy on 1283202124

You make those drawings that illustrate courtroom trials? Heh, no. I will help litigators and in-house defense teams prepare for trials. (and be on call during trials) Overall, the company is like that shadow company from "The Runaway Jury". Only, you know, legal. Trial services is a smal...

So I put my two weeks notice in on Friday.

Starting my new gig as a Consultant after I finish. New job is pretty cool, 30% travel, office two blocks from where I live, and much better pay.

I'd guess there is a chance he wont even seek reelection. I don't think he has a stomach for all the criticism, which is why he is out golfing/vacationing all the time. Oh come on, the last president who took less vacation days than Obama was Clinton. Didn't Reagan out do him 3x over. Edit: And aft...

I was kind of happy to see that Jake did well on his first drive with the the Browns. Even if it was the preaseason, and didn't mean anything, now that he is off my team I wish nothing but the best for him and whatever team he plays on.

You guys must have had some really shitty Junior/Senior years of High School. From what I remember: A's were easy to come by, even in the AP classes. Even a little talent and you could start and star on any of the sports teams. You were just getting to the age where you could actually do something ...

55k for one treatment that possibly extends life for less than two months and has added side effects that will more than likely kill you anyway.

Holy crap.

Ranked #1 in my Platinum division. Another win or two and I'll probably be moved up to the top tier "Diamond". I'm sure I will then get my ass kicked, but it has been a fun ride.

Wait, how did they board a plane without ID.

You can't even get through the first airport security checkpoint without it.

Improving... Finally promoted to the Platinum leagues. Let a few cheesy rushes I didn't know about get me, which made me wait to get promoted a while.

But, as to their argument that liberal arts is so great, I say this: http://www2.madphilosopher.ca/darren108/11th_grade.png As someone who GOT a liberal arts degree, but only got a job by doing computer science, I agree completely.

Actually those three degrees he chose seem very likely to get jobs to me. He could have chosen waaaayyy better shitty degrees, like "Medieval History" or "Ancient Sanskrit" Poultry is obvious, any kind of engineering means the student is taking physics and high level math course...

Even if you aren't big on Multiplayer, the Storyline missions are simply fantastic, and there are a fair amount of extra "Challenge" missions and Quick matching against the AI. Not sure about the DRM thing. I was playing the game at 6 P.M. on release day, having downloaded the entire game...

4-1 in matches yesterday. Barely above 50% in my league, but trending upward.

I think I've settled on Terran, race wise. I like Protoss too, but I'm not extremely good with them.

Did online on Day 2.

Played quite well on my 5 placement matches, and got into a pretty high league (gold).

Then I proceeded to get the floor wiped by better players three times in a row because I don't know shit about build orders and strategy. I plan on reading up and trying again tonight.
