@MicrosoftHelps@surface seems to have gone the way of my actual unresponsive #Surface and are equally unresponsive, though both gave me false hope today. HALP!
One of my most beloved clients died on Wednesday. With his wife's permission, I want to tell you about him because he deserved so much more and it absolutely did not have to be this way. 1/
Before he became my client, this man was on parole for felony murder. He had been out for well over a decade- successful, productive, great job, married, taking care of his elderly mother, daughter on the honor roll and getting ready to start college. 2/
He went to an office party and some folks were smoking weed. He later tested positive for marijuana on a random drug test administered by his PO. The cops came to his house at 2 a.m., terrified him and his family, and arrested him. BECAUSE OF A DRUG TEST 3/
Trying again #surfaceusers my #microsoftsurface went into sleep mode thurs afternoon & was totally unresponsive to key combos, holding power button, power button & volume. Left it plugged in. Tried it Friday afternoon- it woke up 1/
It was completing an update when it woke up. Otherwise seemed to be functioning fine. Battery at 100% Then it went to sleep again and totally unresponsive for rest of night and so far today. 2/
Assuming it wakes up again today when I randomly try it- what adjustments can I make to prevent it from happening again? This rollercoaster ride is not for me. 3/
Here we go again @LadyLawyerDiary I should be meeting w my client rt now. Instead I’m in a Walmart buying a sport bra bc the rings on the straps of my tank top that I’m wearing (w a shelf bra) under my sweater set the metal detector off and they refuse to wand me.
When I asked the guard if they expect me to disrobe in the parking lot in the car so I can put on this sports bra, she nodded. You can’t use the restroom unless you clear the metal detector.
So don’t mind me- I’ll be the half naked woman in the parking lot of the prison in the mountains of western Maryland trying to put on a sports bra while seated in my car.
Just left a fantastic event put on by @APABADC partners committee with Judges Sri Srinivasan, Neomi Rao, Amit Mheta, Maribeth Raffinan, and Theo Chuang, representing the D.C. Circuit, the US District Courts of Maryland and DC, and DC Superior Court. 1/
Such a great annual event where the judges are always extraordinarily generous with their time and insight 2/
Being able to have interesting conversations with colleagues and judges and interact with them in a different environment is one of the many benefits of volunteer bar associations 3/
If your job involves sending people to prison, part of your training should involve a tour of the place you are sending them #CriminalJusticeReform 1/
Years ago, I was speaking to a former prosecutor in Chicago and she was SHOCKED to hear that the toilet is in the open in the cell. SHOCKED 2/
More recently, I watched a career- prosecutor-turned-defense attempt to navigate entry into prison. It was obviously the first time he ever visited any prison. 3/
