    Law school sucks.

    Law school sucks. That's about the gist of it. First year they try to scare you to death, second year they work you to death and the third year I hear they bore you to death. Great. I'm in my second year now and i can't wait to go into my third. :disgust: I guess I do want to be a...

    Invitees to the Royal Wedding

    I searched, but I didn't find anyone that had posted it. It's funny, but it's kind of cute. The Prince's own parents aren't going to the wedding, but two dubbawallah's from Bombay are. They were the only ones excited by the wedding. :)...

    Keen's Steakhouse!

    My co-worker and I are in the mood for steak, and we thought we'd try somewhere new. I can't wait to go. Has anyone been there before? It has pretty good ratings on Citysearch as far as steakhouses go. Edit: http://www.keenssteakhouse.com/

    Rat in toilet

    Yesterday, my roommate and I came home from work. We were upstairs just chatting, when my other roommate came home and went downstairs (we live in a small duplex in NYC) to change and then we heard her shriek. We ran down the stairs, and it was almost surreal. There was a 7 inch rat, with a...

    I HATE WRITING MY LAW SCHOOL ESSAY.

    Damnit. The working world has sucked any creativity that I ever had out of me and I have to finish it tonight so that I can give it to the attorneys that are going to write a recommendation for me. Oh good. Man, I can't wait for this all to be over; applying to school again sucks! I can't...

    Any embarrassing work Christmas Party stories?

    I had mine yesterday and for the most part it was uneventful, but there was lots of good food and drink and people came into work looking decidedly hungover this morning. Post your stories, if any, here. Edit: I just heard now that some attorneys hooked up yesterday and that a paralegal I...

    Plucking a nose hair.

    ...and decide the fate of Maziwanka. He has a long nose hair out of his left nostril and it is driving me nuts. He said that he would let me pluck it if the votes on ATOT ordained it so. So vote away!

    Stupid computer question

    But...um...how do you adjust the width and height of the screen on a laptop. For some reason, mine is all skewed to the left and I don't know how to adjust it. It's not like a desktop, where you can do it on the monitor itself. Thanks guys...

    Does anyone know...

    a good and trusted website for buying older editions of books from? I'm not talking very rare or expensive books, I'm just looking for an edition that came out in 1989/90 with a particular cover. And I'm looking for 3 books in the set. If anyone can help me, it would be awesomely appreciated.

    What's your favourite, most anti-social food?

    Hmm... Gotta admit, I like garlic in food, but I was thinking today about growing up in England in school. We used to have chips (crisps) called Monster Munch, and they were this puffy chip with a cheeto like consistency. They had a pickled onion flavour, and boy was it good, even though it...

    ATOT in daily life.

    I got mad at my friend yesterday, and before I knew it I yelled "that's why people on ATOT don't have girlfriends!". Now, he's a very good friend, so although I was really mad at the time, I knew it was really all good, and we got over it. But still, it's pretty horrendous that I used AT as an...

    What is your favourite book?

    I've got a gift certificate from work to Borders (from Christmas last year) and I want to spend it on a good book. I love reading things that people have previously enjoyed. As for me, I like Love in the time of Cholera by Gabriel García-Marquez. It's just a cool read and you feel like...

    My Goodness, I simply cannot do any work today

    I have a TON of work to do, and I work at the kind of place where it's non-stop all day, but i'm simply doing NOTHING and reading all the posts on ATOT. It's like my body is just refusing to comply and I'm only screwing myself in the backside by this. I don't seem to care that work is piling...

    Maziwanka got a vacation

    Sad but true. He realises the error of his ways and is going to spend this time of reflection, and I quote, "driving his car, playing with his dog, finishing his apps for grad school, dancing bhangra and talking to girls". We'll be here when you get back Mazi. Meanwhile I'll pour one for...

    Cable/Internet Provider Question

    My roommates and I just moved into a four bedroom apartment in NYC and are, for the first time, looking to set up cable and internet. However, we're just so confused about 1) who to go with 2) what the best deals are and 3) how we can connect individual tvs and computers to cable and internet...

    BED BUGS

    So my roomates and I have this great opportunity to see a four bedroom apartment in a great area of manhattan, for a price that we can afford, but the place has previously had problems with bed bugs. Apparently, they don't just stay in your bed, they can be in the cracks and crevices of the...

    TWO-WAY MIRRORS

    A friend of mine and I went to a diner yesterday and were seated in a booth next to a mirror. At that time, a random tidbit came into my head that I have always believed since I was a kid. Someone once told me that you could tell if the mirror was a real mirror if, when you pointed your index...

    Hungover at work

    My goodness, I had to go to a work-related event last night that had an open bar, and boy do I feel like hell right now. I'm not usually someone that would drink on a work night, but I definitely drank more than my fair share of alcohol last night. (btw, i only knew one other person there that...

    Which news provider do you like the best??

    For me, I like to look at BBC.co.uk for the BBC coverage of news. For someone like me they have a very user-friendly site that lists previous articles that also relate to the one you are looking at and provide good background information. I also think they have a more rounded version of the...

    What time does everybody get off work today?

    Man, it feels so relaxed at work today, I don't really have anything pressing that I need to get done, but since I work in a law firm, they are only going to let us get out at 4 pm. That sucks, all my friends are leaving at 12.00. What about everyone else here?

    Man, now Maziwanka has real work to do at his job, he doesn't post like a fiend on ATOT anymore =(.
