Default 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!

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.

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!!!!

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

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.

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'!!!!

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!

•There are three sorts of lawyers - able, unable and lamentable. - Robert Smith Surtees
•Whoever tells the best story wins. - John Quincy Adams
•A Lawyer will do anything to win a case, sometimes he will even tell the truth. - Patrick Murray
•Ignorance of the law excuses no man - from practicing it. - Adison Mizner
•In almost every case, you have to read between the lies. - Angie Papadakis
•A lawyer is a gentleman who rescues your estate from your enemies and keeps it for himself. - Lord Brougham
•A man is innocent until proven broke. - Anonymous

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".

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.

:-))) 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.

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.

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.

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.
