She works for the government, robbing people of their livelihood and oppressing innocent people.

"the government" was implied by agency.

Since I'm also a government lawyer (albeit it in a very different regime), I wanted to know more!!!

This is in the boot?

That middle name does your Lost fandom proud, G-Man. Congrats on the baby! Cousins born a day apart, wow!

Nov 5th babies get fireworks to celebrate.

Today, I got a pretty significant promotion. I'll now be the lead commercial solicitor where I work, so I'll have to somewhat manage how commercial work is resourced and be responsible for a number of client relationships and strategic decisions about how we contract.

I'm not yet sure if this is more exciting than winning world reborn... I'll figure that one out later.

This is a neat thing!

So would I, but the costs of regular attendance would probably price me out.

Congrats nutella! Thats awesome!

Great news SVS!

Yay! Well done Dom.

@Dom - what is a 'section' of geometry?

Have fun in the world of jobs - it can be really rewarding. And remember that ninja and epi are there for you!

Oh, right. We'd probably call that a preiod. But then, we call . a full stop. You funny Americans!

Nepotism!

How are those biceps?

You have my sympathies.

Which one do you prefer?

You're presenting to alcoholics?

Awesome g!

Oooh, negotiation strategy. Always fun.

I'm pretty sure MP will take the California one because I told him to, and what other justification does he need.

I start August 13th.

Here's a job offer. Could you start in around 3 years please?

Congrats Alex. If you stay there for any decent length of time, I'm absolutely certain we will come visit you.

I knew it!

Well done Sloonei

The whole idea is sort of foreign to me. I mean, I did have to make the cut for second year law, but it wasn't like 'this university accepted me, this one didn't'. American college education is a foreign world to me, especially the pressure that comes with it. It seems so cruel and unusual - glad the tension is off your back.

For some reason, this is believable at face value, without needing to ask Daisy.

Is that the one you were leaning towards all along sloon?
