OT on Joann
 

Just got a message that Ms. Kline received word today that she has passed her bar exams.

So now, we have to start treating her with the same level of respect that we reserve for all the other lawyers on here!


:D

Congratulations, Attorney Kline.

Lawyers have respect around here??

Congratulations Joann, I know how hard you worked for it.

Quite a feat-congrats if you are reading Joann!

Great news, Congrats!

Congrats! And no, we should continue to treat her with more respect than that!:p

absolutely
 

Congrats to Ms.Joann......she is one great :) woman and one of the best articulators on the board....Hope to see her around more since the exam is through....

Congrats....I can assume your card budget will be increasing in the near future as well.

Congrats Joann!

Congratulations! - I still have a recurring nightmare that New York Law School sends me a letter saying I'm actually 3 credits short and need to take another class and the bar again.

Great news! Best to you, Joann!

Congrats Joann! :)

Congratulations Joann !!, what an accomplishment, I know it wasn't easy.

Amazing

Oh, wonderful...just what this place needs is another lawyer!

Seriously, congrats, Joann.

Congratulations Joann!

Congratulations
 

Way to go Joann

Congratulations!!!!

Just how much did you have to drink to pass that bar exam? Was it shots, mixed drinks or beer and wine? Did you have to "pass out" to pass?

Congratulations!!!!

That is great news!!!

Double congrats!!

I wondered why we have heard so little from you lately :-)

That a gal JoAnn!!!!
Congrats and welcome to the noble occupation :D

attorney

Quite an accomplishment!

Good job and Congrats Joann!

I have many one-liners for such an occasion. "I've never passed the bar, or a bar for that matter" .... (crickets)

Wow that is quite an accomplishment. Congratulations Joann! :)

Great work! Which state?

Wow guys. Thanks very much. I am beyond relieved. I theoretically had good reason to think that I'd passed it, but the sneaky bastards throw you so off-kilter by making so many things vague and borderline that I really had no true idea how I'd done.

Now I just have to catch my breath for another little minute here and then figure out what I want to do with it. (It was the Michigan bar, by the way.)

Thx again very very much for the thoughts. I really appreciate them.

So when is the swearing in?

They haven't posted the swearing in for GR yet, Frank. I'm a little concerned that I will miss it. I'm traveling for 3 days in each of the next 3 weeks. Because the mass swearing-in events in right after the results are posted, I think there is a really good chance that I will miss mine. I may have to find a sponsor and go that route.

But I'm NOT COMPLAININ'!!!! :D

Actually, to do it with a sponsor and an individual introduction is more memorable. It's a glorious moment, much better than graduation. Proud of you!

Joann
 

A big CONGRATULATIONS to you.

Hope to see you posting here more often, now.


Best regards,

Congrats Joann, I hope to never have to take the bar exam!

That is great news! Congratulations!

Congrats Joann!

A long tough journey and a great accomplishment but please, PLEASE, don't let it go to your head!! I don't think we could handle it if you suddenly began speaking in third person and using the word "whilst".

Hi Jo,
Thats wonderful news! A great accomplishment. You should be proud.
The best as always Al

That's great news!
 

good job JoAnn.
I haven't been able to pass a bar my entire adult life!
:D

Excellent! Congrats Joann! Now, maybe you'll find a few minutes to post some of the amazing pickups you've grabbed this year.

Congratulations! This is the fraternity you are joining:

I knew a lawyer who bought a book of lawyer jokes for her waiting room. I assume it was to get the subject out of the way asap, as she wasn't the type to crack jokes.

Great news Joanne. Congrats and welcome!

:-))) Thanks again guys.

I sort of like hearing the lawyer jokes (and boy-oh-boy have I been hearing them!). One, I think they are often really funny. Two, I spent 25 years in my former career, and no one once ever told me a Quality Director joke. I suppose that when/if I start getting aggravated by the lawyer jokes, it will mean that the thrill of having done this may have worn off.

And Dan, I will def try to post some of my pickups. I am really, really behind on my scanning but will try to put a few up this weekend.

Big congrats Joann...awesome!

Q: How many Quality managers does it take to change a lightbulb ?
A: We've formed a quality circle to study the problem of why lightbulbs
burn out and to determine the best thing we as managers can do to
enable lightbulbs to work smarter, not harder.

that was pretty funny.....

A rabbi, a quality manager and a midget walk into a bar . . .
 

Cool. Now you get to say stuff like "if it pleases the court" and "may I approach the bench?" and "Your Honor, counsel is badgering the witness" just like Perry Mason and get paid for it. Congratulations on a great accomplishment and respectful acknowledgement of your go for broke perseverance.

We have lawyers on this site???

Seriously, congratulations Joann, that is one great accomplishment. I'm with Frank, if there's any way to be present for your swearing in you should be there. I'm sure it will be extremely memorable.
