"It seems like Hester Prynne would have an easier time finding work right now wearing a scarlet letter A for her act of adultery than an attorney with a juris doctor degree from a low-ranked school on his or her resume.
But a lawyer newly admitted in New York and New Jersey who makes that complaint to legal consultant Ann Israel in a New York Lawyer column gets scant sympathy.
Rather than focusing on her 'obscene' law school debt and likelihood of a lower post-law-school salary, in real dollars, than she made in an interim think-tank position between college and law school, 'Hester' should pull up her socks and figure out what her best options are now, Israel advises. With her joint bar admissions, she certainly has some, both inside and outside the legal profession.
Among the practice possibilities to which Israel points is a gig in the military."

I'm sure her name is gonna go over REAL well in Iraq.
May the Lord have mercy on all of us...
Father Eamon
I think her advice is to do something instead of crying all the time. You know, Tom The Temp, like writing your memoirs, publishing by 2011.
I am tired of the "think positive" media always trying to blind us. Shame on the legal media for doing the same, while the LPO's pillage and lay waste to this dying profession.
This world is not what I thought it was...
Law is not what I thought it was....
My wife is not what I thought she was....
May the Lord have mercy...Father Eamon, please pray for us....
Your mental thoughts can transform your perception and the reality of the world. I recommend that you pick up a copy of "The Power Of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale. Excellent read.
"A welcome-back party for Big Oil" is how the Wall Street Journal today sums up the Iraqi government plan to open up its oil fields to the highest bidders after three decades of tight control under Saddam Hussein. Starting next week, the Iraqi government will begin auctioning off contracts to foreign countries, opening up a market with 115 billion barrels in "proven reserves."
3 of my former classmates from the class of 2007 have committed suicide because they were unemployed and drowning in debt.
Shame on you, Ann Israel. Shame on you. The JD degree is a life taker and a heartbreaker. It has been the ruination of thousands of poverty stricken new lawyers who cannot even get rid of this debt via bankruptcy.

What do you expect from this filthy pig wench? Screw you Ann I hope you die a slow death of ovarian cancer.
Getting into the JAG corp is not easy. Her advice is not practical. They gave me a hard time about my weight and wouldn't enlist me. Plus, Iraq is too hot without airconditioning and alcohol is banned.

No, no, no, no ...this is no way to live life.
Please children I understand your distress. But this is no way to unleash it.
I think she was just suggesting positive thinking. I am sure it's hard to have an expensive law degree and no jobs.
It would be like after having giving up sex and earthly pleasures and lived in the dark damp confines of the monastery all my life I was told there is no God and no Jesus. [Although there have been some nasty recent rumours to that effect].
Even if you have no money and no one to love you, you still have your health and arms and legs. That is a lot. Please count your blessings.
May the Lord have mercy on all of us in these troubles times...
Father Eamon
Beer Guzzling Temp: I saw your profile and realized that you are looking for a non-attorney woman. That is me. I am not a lawyer. And I am not a fat chick either.
I am looking for someone like you and happy to pack sandwiches and drive to the Jersey shore.
Get back to me soon lovah--I am alone too!! And I love fat boys who code!!
1:39 Is this true???
"3 of my former classmates from the class of 2007 have committed suicide because they were unemployed and drowning in debt. "
Where did you go to school??
Father Eamon, I wish I had my health. Last year, I was diagnosed with diabetes and as a solo attorney I am hardly able to afford my medical treatments. I stopped paying my private law loans, and my future is indeed bleak. How do you counsel someone who has daily thoughts about suicide? Also, why does is the Church so adamantly opposed to suicide. Why force people into an endless string of suffering?

Barely any Jews serve in the military but here is an obvious Jewish woman suggesting to somebody a gig in the military. Let the goyim fight the wars. That is not for us Jews.
Recruiter - I suggest you stick your head in the toilet. It might refresh your demented brain.

How about she sends her little dog to Iraq? Maybe he can help scout out for the landmines. Thanks for volunteering, Ann!
As most of you have probably heard by now, the DC Metro crash was possibly caused by a computer failure. That news got me and a few others interested if the DC Metro has been outsourcing work to India or bodyshops, and employing H-1Bs. The reasoning behind the research is that when employers are looking for the cheapest labor they often get what they pay for.
Several previous posts have been published concerning President Obama’s appointment of Aneesh Chopra for Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Vivek Kundra for Chief Information Officer (CIO). Besides their obvious ethnic similarities, keep in mind that Aneesh Chopra led a large junket to India in 2006 to promote the outsourcing of Virginia state jobs. Read the previous newsletters on these two appointments to see how both of them have a long record of promoting the outsourcing of American jobs to India.Chopra and Kundra are definitely friends of India.
The following information isn’t in any particular order, and I think we should all be careful about what conclusions are drawn. Too little is known about the cause of the crash yet to blame any particular contractor so until more is known all of this should be considered circumstantial evidence. That said as a disclaimer, here is the stuff:
Primary contractor for the DC Metro is Optimal Solutions & Technologies(OST).
Vivek Kundra has many connections to OST. He was even on their board.
But that wasn’t the only reason Kundra put Optimal Solutions and Technologies in charge of nearly 100 subcontractors eager for a piece of as much as $75 million a year in technology contracts.
And what about the role of Optimal Solutions and Technologies, a D.C.-based company founded in 1999 by Vijay Narula?
Though allegedly Acar and Bansal violated city rules by regularly meeting and talking, Narula said his company, which has about eight employees assigned full time to the contract, was powerless to detect such behavior.[Federal Probe Casts Doubt on D.C. Contract Reform Effort - washingtonpost.com,April 6, 2009]
Remember Sushil Bansal? He was the one that was arrested and jailed, andwas the reason the FBI raided Kundra’s office. Acar has been charged withbribery.
OST is heavily involved in our transportation infrastructure. They even have an FAA Software Design and Development Services Contract. Vijay Narula is their CEO. OST’s contracts are some of the most important in the nation because they involve public safety, and yet it’s very difficult to find out where Narula was born–he is very much an enigma. Try finding his biography with Google, and get back to me when you find out something.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Awards an Information Technology Contract to Optimal Solutions and Technologies (OST, Inc.)
GRPA is another outsourcer that does business with the WMATA. They have offices in India, and perhaps they send some work there.
GRPA is a registered IT services provider to the state of Maryland, various counties, and other organizations like Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), the World Bank, and several Credit Unions, etc.
GRPA is considered a minority owned business, which gives them a large advantage over other companies that want to win state contracts. The company name explains their minority status: G.R. Patel & Associates, Inc.
Master Contractor Name: G.R. Patel & Associates, Inc. (GRPA) Minority Business Enterprise: Yes Name: G.R. Patel Title: President
Some of the high tech workers on the WMATA engineering and computer/ITsystem have similar ethnic backgrounds. It is not known at this time what their visa status is:

Hate the Indians or whatever. Capitalism is not their system - it's yours!!!
If you don't like it, bring about a change at home!!
What are the chances that this bitch ever served in the military?
Look from her picture you can see what a spoiled little bitch she is.
I enjoy people who know everything like Ms. Israel. At my drunkest, I wouldn't let her blow me...I think.
Ann Israel is my role model.
Recruiter, why don't you blow me since Ann Israel is a skank.?
recruiter is really a guy. You can never trust pictures on the Internet.
Again, although I was one of the first people to despise him, and railed against his lame schtick, I have a new respect for Beer Guzzling Temp's harangues against recruiter.
I fully concur that she should blow him.
Fuck Ann Palestine and fuck recruiter -- lame anorexic broads. Who cares about these lame dames - let's get back into our own juicy stories about Big Momma et al. Are there any left???
What is all this long-winded blogging about Indian takeovers. Look dude this space is reserved for pithy comments. If you are so concerned about the Indian takeover go start your won blog and don't bore us with loser cut and paste shit.
I hate pale anorexic chicks -- like this woman in the photo -- uuuuugh. I can't stand them and their low fake energy. I want to slap these bitches across their haggard faces with a piece of raw steak. Eat something and live -- and maybe then you can think straight beeeeeatch.....
I can't tell from the dog photo if Ann Israel is anorexic or not. I like thin women. Fat women turn me off. Her face can crack mirrors. The dog is cuter. I'd like to know this cunt's background.
Beer Guzzler, if fat women turn you off - does the sight of yourself in the mirror also turn you off. From what I can see from the photo you are a man of some girth.
I like the wife-beater, though.
I think Beer Guzzler looks rather Marlon Brando-ish a la Streetcar Named Desire.
Hot!
Sizzling!!!
Fuggedabouit!!!
Send that hippo/elephantress Big Momma to Iraq!!!
today was a big FUCK You.
I'm just about ready. Got the scope on.
great idea because if you die in Iraq there is a good chance you won't still have to worry about law school or student loan debt.
Why don't they offer some volunteer work for debt forgiveness. And gee let's make this volunteer work local to help your community in the USA.
I am done with all the help we give abroad. The world tends to hate America since the bush years. Could we gave some local charities and volunteer organization. Before trying to save the world or butterflies in Antigua wouldn't it be better to fix your own backyards.
Fuck the rich too, goddam pigs. That dont do shit to help domestically.
Taping my clips together.
3:54 I hear your cry for help. Yes, no doubt these are challenging times.
Many people I know are struggling with the same thoughts.
Your future is not as bleak as you think. You are better off than 90% of the people. Move to a different, smaller city for a few years, join a firm there, they will be happy to have a New York lawyer, and come back when things are better. There are many holistic things you can do for your illness until you get health insurance.
Eat right and excercise. Get out in the sun everyday.
I see children with cancer, who are blind, in pain -- now that is suffering. Maybe you should spend a day or two with them and see the other side of life. You are an educated person. It may take some time but you can turn it around. It may not be a fabulous life, but it can be a comfortable one.
Don't forget to be thankful for things you have.
May the Lord have mercy on all of us...
Father Eamon
As some of you have been asking me in private messages, yes, I was accepted into both the Army and Navy Jag corp, but unfortunately for America, I had to turn them down. The pay was simply too low.
Best,
Better Coder
www.bettercoderthanyou.wordpress.com.
Yaaaaay, Better is back!! Missed you lover!! Please regale a loser temp like with stories of the high-coding life you lived today!! You are one lucky and handsome bastard!!
Yeah, you were in the Jagoff corp, you pathetic pillow biting charlatan.
Please return to your fry station, Wayne.
Ha, ha...hater is also back. This blog is heating up!!
Father Eamon,
I got a job offer to move to Palau, a tiny island in the South Pacific, to represent the Uighurs, released Guantanamo detainees from China who were peripherally connected to Al Qaeda.
I will be given naught but a hut made of dried palm fronds, a solar-powered laptop, and a hen. My pay will be $80/month.
Should I take the job?
Fielding Mellish, JD
Father Eamon,
What is your take on the adultery that is going on in the basement of a certain law firm?
fielding,
I would take that job.!!!!
take it!
And think long term.
You could easily get a book deal out of it.
People love to hear about the plight of foreigners and boo hoo for the rest the world. Hollywood would also probably love you. Maybe angelina will blow you and you can get to be on oprah
has anyone once else started wiping there ass with a dollar bill and mailing of to their law school in response to mailings asking for donations?
I have.
Fielding:
Only if the hen is cute! A man has some needs, after all...
Father Eamon
Father Eamon DID NOT write the last comment!! He has been in bed since 10:30!! Please desist from writing using his name. He will return tomorrow - Sister Marie
Imposter troll. Father Eamon should register a name.
All the trolls, devil's spawns, wenches, hellboys, protitutes and overweight ghetto goons that were thrown out of hell reside in that purgatory basement. That is truly one toxic, evil stench-filled cesspool of lust, greed, envy, adultery, sloth, gluttony, pharma cocktails, and the most unforgivable sin of ugliness ..this horrific modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah and House of Cards is soon to come tumbling down in these apocalyptic days and a bloody Armageddon will rage between the slothful Gollums of the dark damp basement and the fresh blood of outsiders with the Gollums being vanquished by the noble newcomers. Not to worry. Justice will prevail
I always thought of the S&C dungeon as more of a warning of what will happen to people if they continue on their present evil paths. There's some real sickos down there. Truly nasty people who enjoy making other people suffer.
I imagine that purgatory is something like the S&C basement except no weekends off and you have to work 24 hours a day. And you have to look at that ugly mug of Mrs. T all the time.
I was gonna drop 10-15lbs to get in but the alcohol ban turned me off.
Here's a question for all you temps that have worked in some capacity other than a temp:
Which ring of Dante's inferno would you place your worst temp job(s) and why?
I'm placing a certain evil multimedia company in the circle of liars, cheats, and frauds due to their policy of telling people they don't have to work overtime.
I hope you burn (or freeze) in hell evil temp supervisors and minions of the superviosrs at the above mentioned place. By the way, I have a long career ahead of me and I'm going to make you wish you were in hell next time I see you. I remember you.
Ms. T is the definition of butterface. As in she ate 10 pounds of butter and it went straight to her face!
I think Ann Israel made a good effort to answer the question. Also, having spent some years as a JAG officer, I can testify that this can be a good career. It was not for me, as I was not there voluntarily, but you can have a good time and some interesting work. (You do have to meet weight control or bodyfat standards, as one person noted.)
"Recruiter" is a great addition to this blog, providing good humor without the foul language. I wish more folks would be so thoughtful.
"Hi, Recruiter!"
TO Paraphrase Ann Israel: Her job to recruit the top 10% of students from the top 10 schools to go into the top law firms. She does not deal with TTT grads. So, take any advice she gives with a grain of NaCl.
In the article she said "military." This could mean JAG, but it could mean ground-pounder in the line of fire.
You are right; if she meant enlisting as an 11-Bravo, that is a different story.
Recruiter is a skank! I would not let her blow me if she was the last female on the face of the earth!
Recruiter is a whore and a bitch and a cunt and I am having a vodoo doll made of her face so I can beat it with a dirty shoe every morning when I get up.
9:58 said "Recruiter" is a great addition to this blog, providing good humor without the foul language. I wish more folks would be so thoughtful."
Shut up you pig-face, mother%$# asshole.
Eat my shit!!!
I printed recruiter's picture this morning and took a big dump on it.
I love the foul language. When you are treated foul -- are you going to look pretty and smell like roses??? No you are going to talk foul -- asshole!!!
Pig fucker!!!!
Goat whore!!!!
5:49
Coming from a homo, that doesn't say much. Recruiter is a bitch, but look at her picture--a fox! Anyway, I dig the powerful woman thing.
BetterCoder,
Call Me
Sire, You are NOT Father Eamon. I AM!!
You are an Imposter! How dare you. I shall register a complaint with the owner of this website.
I came back from a lovely day at the parish pool to answer questions and offer advice, and I find this.....this...this blashphemy!
Please refrain from using my good name until further notice.
Father Eamon
While I fully support any one who is considering joining the military, its a good option for SOME people, Ann Israel clearly does not understand what that means, and contrary to popular belief they don't just take anyone.
Furthermore, as the song goes "you ain't gonna get rich diggin a ditch your in the army now"
If you go in as an enlisted person, which for a law grad means having a rank of E-4, or specialist,or one rank above private fist class, you can qualify for federal loan repayments up to 65K, BUT you must be current on all your loans and you must complete your term of service,(8 years) and its only offered for certain MOSs or jobs.
If you go in as an officer, there is no loan repayment. You will earn approximately 40k a year.If you have 140k in debt, you probably will not be able to pay your loans, and then not only will you be in trouble with your lender, you will also be in trouble with your commander.
Ann Israel's dog has a filthy face, doesn't she ever wash him? He probably smelled her underwear and stained his mug.
Nancy is smiling because the dog just fucked her stinky cunt.
Who is Nancy???
Ann Israel is, and has always been, a skank. She's the poster child of the Butler being the biggest snob in the house.
Ann Israel is proof of how bad the low tier law schools are.
But she's giving other people advice on how to pursue their careers.
After her dog fucked her.
The only thing cute about her photo is the sweet dog, and she is being nice to him. So I like her.
But Ann Israel should shut her fucking mouth. She read one book in high school, The Scarlet Letter, and she's still quoting Hester Prynne.
Thanks for showing your nice dog though Ann. Now go turn your vibrator on.
"Aw, fuck you! Fuck the lot of you! Fuck you all!"
Fuck Dave Moss!
Fuck all fake whites "love blacks" but would never live near them, keep them out of their co-ops, and pay $30,000 per year to keep their previous little ones from having to go to their public schools filled with black and Mexican future criminals.
She looks like a nice lady!
Plus a dog lover.
So what she's just repeating a dumb line she heard from the law school placement office.
Just network more......
it's the answer to all job problems!! ha ha
Though suicide has been a viable and widely respected option since at least the time of the Roman republic, I would remind people that there is no debtors prison in the U.S. Once you are impoverished you can collect food stamps and qualify for Medicaid, though finding a secure place to sleep and shower can be daunting.
If becoming homeless is too much of an indignity then suicide may be a good option. Life is a very temporary condition what is a few years more or less? Personally I plan to survive by whatever means necessary as the future may hold hope, even if you can't see any now.
Another option is to commit a white collar crime and accept a moderate prison term in a minimum security facility. I hesitate to try this as I think I would take the suicide option if I didn't have the Internet or some other method of mental stimulation.
Welcome Mr. constipated mother fucker.. If you wanna bid for IT positions, go polish your sorry ass and get some good education. Don't be blaming ethnic groups for the Metro crash.
