Today is the first day of the Bar Exam here.  This is also the first full day of gainful unemployment.  Yessiree bob, Beanie quit.  Between the not paying for my jury service and now complaining because I was not available to them to do more scut work, they told me they wouldn't pay for Friday either.  Beanie doesn't work for free.  For those of you who are horrified at this point, this was not a law firm.  It was connected to the law school, and as such saw us as paid slave labor.  It's always oddly reassuring to find out I still have a backbone in situations like this.  I felt empowered after giving instant notice.  (I had previously given two weeks, this speeded up the timetable by a week.) Don't back Beanie into a corner!
