Did I just blow my chances with a specific law firm for 3L mass mailing by going to office hours? Forum

[fats provolone]

lol wait was that some sort of weird threat to blame this thread on a classmate?

This has got to be the best/worst thread ever.

This thread has been the worst thread ever pretty much since the start. It should have stayed at OP posts stupid story and seeks advice, a few people tell him that he fucked up, done. Instead just about every troll on this forum decided to have a bit of fun at OP's expense. And now OP is potentially going to get royally screwed over it.

thanks, anonymous peanut gallery.

No threats. Just that he has his theories as to who this is; I have mine. So he better make his 1 guess count.

The letter B. That's all I'm going to say.

Funny. He was #3 on the list of people I would've pinned it on. And they're not ranked by likelihood of being correct. Just by inconvenience to the person on whom it's pinned.

i actually do feel kind of bad in case OP is actually mentally ill. the anon posts are all me.

Nobody's going to screw this guy over we are mainly decent people here but the point is he's set himself up for this by being a compulsive liar and definitely deserves mockery

Yea, the only question is which real life person will suffer the consequences from this mockery:
1. Who you all think is me,
2. Or who I think it is?

[fats provolone]

odds this guy was the joker for halloween?

[20160810]

Odds are there won't be any real consequences except for hopefully op developing a renewed commitment to honesty and/or not being such a dildo

Do people with multiple personalities get confused when those personalities are projected anonymously?

Just to be clear here, you're indicating/trying to imply there are actually at least 2 ppl at your school w this problem...one that is notorious, and yourself- a closet liar? Just trying to understand.

One of the most ridiculous things I've ever read

One of the most ridiculous things I've ever read

Just saying that no matter whether that dude who claimed to know me was correct or incorrect, I would've given an ambiguous answer. Because I have enough foresight to know that:

If I panicked, that'd indicate he's correct.
If I brushed it off, that'd indicate he's incorrect (or that he's correct but I'm brushing it off so as to make him think he's incorrect). But this would make him think "oh, maybe it's the person I would've guessed 2nd." And cause him to move on down the list, even though he was so sure his 1st guess was a widely known bullseye.

But you'd best believe that if I sensed any real danger coming, I'm passing the buck. I can think of at least10 other people who, for one course or another, would've talked with this Prof and are going to nonNYC firms. None of them would like getting this thread pinned on them, and it's not something I like to do, but the theme so far has been you gotta do what you gotta do.

[fats provolone]

wow

Have you actually convinced yourself you're going to a non-NYC firm?

only quoting so that in the crazy world where this scenario plays out, this can't be redacted

at this point, my biggest hope for this thread is that anon was actually a troll who got us...otherwise, I'm truly appalled.

He did say earlier that no one in his class knows he doesn't have a job. Why? Because he's going to FirmX!

Quote or no quote, redaction or no redaction, good luck figuring out where in the chain I am. I could be the 1st person to pass it on or the 7th (to the 8th).

[FSK]

wow

[lavarman84]

I'll take "it's just stupid" under advisement and factor that into whether/what to say. But how can I donate to United Way/Salvation Army/etc to repent without first doing what I gotta do to get hired?

i think the point you're seriously missing here, and i don't think a thousand shitpoasters could ever get this through to you, but the ends don't justify the means here, bruh.

If it were me, and most ppl would prob disagree w this, bc it leans more twd the other extreme, I would either go back to the professor and eat humble pie, tell him "i was nervous and told him what my plans were, but that they had not actually been actualized, and i would just like to clarify that"....or go to another student dean and explain the situation in a hypothetical way or tell them flat out and ask their advice. Otherwise, I wouldn't bring it up again, and prob wouldn't apply to that partner's firm at all.

This is exactly what I'd do. But then again, I wouldn't have put myself in this situation in the first place.

Have you read the thread at all? That's been the total opposite of the theme.

Where you are in the chain is irrelevant when it comes to the fact that if you chose to redact, it wouldn't be as obvs that someone is likely passing the buck...and tbh...you're prob the only one who would pass the buck onto another named individual.

Most ppl, I would gather, would just deny they did it w honesty written all over their face, and not point to another person just to get off the hook for something they didn't do. Your actions in that situation are those of a guilt ridden, witch hunter.

This doesn't really make sense. Anyone you tried to pin this thread on could easily produce evidence to showing they have nonNYC offers. What do you have?

I can almost guarantee you aren't self aware enough to know that people in your section probably all know that you're a scumbag. If you manage to pass the bar you're going to be the guy who asks for five extensions on discovery and then serves only objections.
