jesus christ
 

so I thought that law school and the subsequent soul crushing void of unemployment and no job prospects had voided me of my ability to feel things but i go down to the mailbox today and there's a letter from the board of bar examiners. i was literally shaking as i tried to open the envelope and unfold it and it turns out i passed and i literally said "oh thank god" out loud even though i was alone and my heart is still pounding and i'm still kind of shaking and the tunnel vision is only just now starting to fade and i think i'm going to go have a lie down for a while but oh thank god i passed that fucking thing, i did not want to do it again

i thought this moment wouldn't be particularly exciting because, you know, you have to have a job to be a lawyer but nope that was pretty fucking tense

whoooooo

phewww

Seems as if all your christmases are coming at once, Bob.

Congrats (y)

Re: jesus christ
 

Quite a day.

Bob passed the bar and (thanks to my wife's seven layer bean dip) I passed a lot of gas.

Congrats to you, sir.












I would also like to add that I think I am officially Bob's biggest internet fan. I was the first to reply to this and to his facebook update.

:o

Re: jesus christ
 

Ok, maybe Freeb is a bigger fan than me.



:(

Re: jesus christ
 

hey i guess i have something to talk about on my date tomorrow

and if it goes badly and she decides she's just not that into me after all i don't think i'm going to be brought down about it, this is pretty ideal timing

Re: jesus christ
 

She should be swooning when you tell her you're offically certified to practice law now.


Congrats man.
That's awesome(y)

Re: jesus christ
 

(y) good on ya brolmes.

Re: jesus christ
 

I thought this was about the son of god:(

Re: jesus christ
 

congrats bro, now i've got an excuse to party tonight

Re: jesus christ
 

My condolences to your liver this weekend, Bob. Woooo! (y)

Re: jesus christ
 

Congratulations bob! I would be doing cartwheels, you must be pumped.

So yeah, you could be out on your second date and lets say you walk by some watering hole nonchalantly you can stop and say "Hey we just passed a bar, BTW baby....

You're gonna get lucky

Re: jesus christ
 

me too. i'm going to have to drink a ton more to make it "special occasion" drinking rather than "it's a day that ends in y and it's dark out" drinking

hahaha. i might do that. i probably won't say "baby" though

Re: jesus christ
 

be sure to say "bee tee dubs"

"bee tee dubs, little lady, who's got two thumbs and just passed the bar exam?"


CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, BOB

Re: jesus christ
 

HOLY SHIT THAT'S STUPENDOUS!!!!! (y)

Re: jesus christ
 

Bob now's the ideal time to do a world tour.

And make t shirts. Lots of merch.

Need a cool name for the tour though.

Re: jesus christ
 

Re: jesus christ
 

BOB'S NOT STUPID!! HE JUST PASSED A TEST YOU DUMB DUMB!!

Congrats Bob! Make the next thread about getting your pee pee wet after that date!

Re: jesus christ
 

awesome! today's the first day of the rest of your life or something like that(y)

Re: jesus christ
 

gross! eric! jesus! :(

Re: jesus christ
 

theres money in armored car chasing.. you're a lawyer for fuck's shit!

Re: jesus christ
 

god i keep reading the letter to make sure i haven't screwed it up somehow but nope i've definitely passed. i mean overall i wasn't immensely worried that i'd failed, because i studied hard (though i didn't take the $2,750 review course, a wise decision in retrospect), there's a 80-90% pass rate, i was in the zone for the exam and i've generally been pretty damn good at standardized tests but you know still, walking down to the mailbox and seeing that board of bar examiners return address, shit, at that moment it felt like i had a 50/50 chance of passing and it literally felt like my heart was made of diarrhea, i really don't know how else to describe it, i did not want to take that test again

figured a certain way this is a kind of hollow victory because to be totally honest i'm basically in exactly the same position i was in before i learned i'd passed in terms of my chances of getting a job but fuck that, i'm putting my cynicism aside for like at least a week and i'm determined to be thrilled about this

boy i'm drunk and posting on the internet at 3:30 A.M. again.

Re: jesus christ
 

Congrats - but go to bed.

On your date: When she goes to pay her part of the bill you could shout "I OBJECT" really loud to let everyone know you're a real lawyer. Then buy the house a round of drinks while lighting a cigar with a $20 bill so you can feel like the big shot you are

Re: jesus christ
 

holler back son.


you dont want to come out with this information on the date, or it seems like your bragging. let her bring it out of you, like the old ooo anything new in your life type of question. then your like blah blah blah. then shell be all very impressed and thinking about getting seeded up. in which case you dump her and go find someone hotter.

Re: jesus christ
 

well in bob(y)

i'm sure she'll be very pleased with your news.dont big it up too much though, just casually drop it in. like maybe mention it in a list of things you have done this week. went shopping, bought a book, passed the bar. glad things are on the up for you dude.

Re: jesus christ
 

i actually had a whole big spiel planned about how i cleaned my room but now it feels slightly unimportant

Re: jesus christ
 

though maybe that's for the better because to be 100% honest the only reason i cleaned my room was because of the off chance that i'd be doing her in it tomorrow. obviously i'm not planning on it but you know, it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it

i'm beginning to wish i hadn't posted about this girl because i can bloody guarantee there's been less attention paid to these dates on her end than on mine, not that i meant to make a big thing of it in the first place (though i'm not sure what i thought would happen)

Re: jesus christ
 

Well done Bob!

i am super delighted for your achievement, bob! now that's a good thing to talk about on a date!

Re: jesus christ
 

I dunno. Are you meeting at a bar or a restaurant? Because I think it would be totally alright to say something like "What do you say we start with a bit of champagne? I'm in a great mood, I just learned yesterday I passed the bar exam and I feel like celebrating." Then she says stuff like "hey that's great!" and you say stuff like "yeah I tell you what, I was pretty sure I passed but you know when the envelope came in the mail my hands were totally shaking" and you make a toast to passing the bar, and then you say, "OK enough bragging from me, now let's toast to this wonderful evening, I'm really happy to see you" and then get her to talk about herself for a while.

Oh and um also, hey congrats Bob!

Re: jesus christ
 

Many congratulations, Bob. Maybe this is the sign that things are really going to come together for you. Just you watch, everything is just going to fall into place.
