On November 3, 2014, I joined the firm, and six months later I left my husband and our divorce judgment as finalized on my one-year anniversary with the firm, November 3, 2015. Between coming back to private practice and litigation, and losing my best friend and only life that I had known as an adult, it was a lot. Brad and I were talking in my office about all the changes; he was worried, and I was exhausted (this is still a common theme in our friendship). In our conversation, I said, probably sighed, “I would like to go a year without any big life changes.” His eyes lit up, he ran to get paper and wrote down the quote as quick as he could, and dated it. November 25, 2015, at 3:15 pm. (Spoiler alert: I did not make a year.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeee57d60f57793d9ebc05/7792c962-b7f3-4305-ab1e-0fc26d616284/IMG_4825.jpeg Blog - Mementos Then there was my litigation paralegal that was down the hall from me. She and I are big musical buffs and HUGE fans of Hamilton. (I saw Hamilton the fourth week it was on Broadway! I almost died when Lin walked out on stage.) She grabbed an extra copy of the Rolling Stone magazine for me because we had both been talking about it and were excited to see it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeee57d60f57793d9ebc05/0902ec35-1cb8-4694-b107-057f4bf16e42/IMG_4828.jpg Blog - Mementos Then there was the necessary changing of my office name plate after my divorce. I took my first husband’s last name when we married, and went back to my maiden name when we divorced. I was relieved to return to my maiden. Ex-#1 is Mexican, and his last name is very Mexican. When meeting new people who I had met over email, they were inevitably confused when a very white girl showed up instead of the Latina woman they were expecting. Even though I was ready to go back to Einowski, I felt so much shame in the name change. It made my divorce and failed marriage feel so public. My paralegal, I think, sensing this unease, covered up my name plate with the post-it saying, “HURCULES MULLIGAN,” another Hamilton reference. (She felt uncomfortable to write the next lines because there are so many swear words and, well, we are a professional organization after all!) It made me laugh and smile, and eased the pain. I left the post-it up as long as I could over my name plate, and then kept it in my office ever since. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeee57d60f57793d9ebc05/b9af43a7-618e-40a5-b371-702796920dce/IMG_4827.jpg Blog - Mementos Then this note. It doesn’t look like much, but it meant the world to me. When I was a litigation associate, a group of us did a trial practice class led by one of our retired partners. I was slightly terrified of this partner and another partner in the class, and I have never been a confident litigator. This class did not do much to help my confidence. But, dammit, I was determined to figure it out! At some point, I did something—I can’t remember now, probably a direct or cross of a witness—and I nailed it. I stayed calm, asked my questions, my voice didn’t visibly shake, and, even though I really wanted to, I didn’t cry with relief when I sat down. A woman partner in the group ripped off a corner of her paper and slide me this note. https://www.operationselfcare.com/blog/and-god-laughs monthly 0.5 2022-04-19 https://www.operationselfcare.com/blog/fck-it-fcc-v-fox-television-2009 monthly 0.5 2022-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeee57d60f57793d9ebc05/5edab088-f048-4bf8-b844-7bba1d2f0c6c/download.jpg Blog - F*ck it: FCC v.

Fox Television (2009) - Justice Scalia, writing for the majority, explained that the APA did not require the agency to do anything differently when it changes its mind than it does when it initially makes the decision. The agency only had to explain why it was doing what it was doing, with enough information that the court could determine whether the decision was arbitrary or capricious. The fact that the agency must explain its decision in the first place inevitably means the agency needs to acknowledge that it’s changing its mind. The Court found that the reasons given by the FCC for making the change—finding that even if the word is only said once it has the power “to insult and offend” and that technology now existed to “bleep” out the offending word—were sufficient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eeee57d60f57793d9ebc05/f197c592-0bbe-4519-b9a6-ffb7f9f03851/ezgif-5-4c62cb0737.jpg Blog - F*ck it: FCC v.
