17 years ago I broke off an engagement. flew home & never saw him again. called my dad to pick me up at the airport no questions asked (he did). called the firm I wanted to work at & asked them to reopen the offer I had declined (they did). met my husband <2 months later…

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can break off your engagement. You don't have to get married if you know it's not right. Even if you have sent out the invites, bought the dress, planned the ceremony, you can walk away.

@ProfRobAnderson rob you actually want to put your venmo on the last slide of the deck for every class session. it's a good reminder to students to tip & incentive for you to finish the lecture on time so you get to that last slide!

toddler loses abby. begs for abby every night at bedtime. parents search house. garage. closets. under furniture. no sign of abby. weeks pass. new abby arrives in mail. parents unwrap & say “I found abby!” toddler immediately produces old abby & declares “I HAVE 2 ABBYS!”

imagine working in HR or legal & being informed your company has just renamed one of the conference rooms "s3xy" or being a female employee called in for a meeting in the s3xy room things are going great

Twitter's X rebrand is underway at its San Francisco headquarters. The co. is projecting the X logo in the cafeteria and changed conference room names to words and phrases with the letter X in them. Those new names include “eXposure,” “eXult” and “s3Xy."

3) peer networking is also incredibly rewarding. idk where anyone who was "important" when i was in law school is now but i know where my classmates are: they are firm partners, GCs, professors, government officials, CEOs, politicians, & otherwise crushing it. play the long game.
