You'll be happy to know that even years after they get out of law school, and when taking a two day CLE seminar for which there are absolutely no grades, and at 5 minutes to 5 on Friday when everyone just wants to leave, the "gunners" are STILL asking questions.

Fuck those people. I'm leaving for florida tomorrow, and I wanted to start my weekend.

As for the bar exam, (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2774&highlight=kobayashi) I been there, man. Nothing but the best of luck. I'm sure you'll do fine. For all the worrying I did, my raw score on the multistate was just a shade under 170 (as of the date of the Bar/Bri practice, I was only hitting about 90), so just remind yourself that everyone thinks its going to be worse than it is.

Well I've just recently opened this thread and decided to give my advice on it. First, I can't really fault RBJ because all he did was give his opinion when asked. Given's the other guy's history with the other firms, RBJ's firm would of probably found out too what kind of worker the new guy was and fired him, but only after making a mistake. RBJ didn't really keep someone from getting a job, somewhere the other guy needs to realize how his behaviour is not helping him.
I don't know how accurate the stories of how he was downright anti-social were, there's a degree of effort than you can make, and that you certainly learn by the time you're out of law school, if he was as bad as RBJ described him, he's really a very small minority that I don't think even any of us here would be confortable working with.

Now about the second part, or the discussion in the thread.. I believe I'm a type A personality, I see it as a good thing. What I learned is that everyone, in the skin they're in, think that they have it best and understand life better.
Of course as some points I looked down on those who I considered less logical than me, or less disciplined. Guess what, they do the same about us, and I don't think it's a defense mechanism. Logic today does make you money(figuratively) and it's a valuable talent to have, but apparently those who don't have it don't cry themselves to sleep because they're 'inferior'.

Anyway. Another example would be at work, I couldn't comprehend for the life of me why someone wouldn't spend every day at their job trying to grow as a person, or work for the full time that they're paid. Not only would they not work as hard as me, but also see me as different in a bad way, quite got me mad. Those 'gunners' at the front of the class, they don't do it grudgingly, they do it because they like it. In class, I'm gonna milk my education for everything it's worth. Those in the back also aren't any less studious or not care about their future, they also have different likes and just like the other groups, see the gunners as 'inferiors' or as missing the point. Both groups are wrong about the other,they're also just different. (and you guys know me, give me the right hobby and I'll be on it all day, we're not really robots)

The conflicts might arise because one is the majority, but the other group still has some talents that can be good in business(and sometimes, excellent)


I don't know how things are going to be for me, but I do know that I'm going to adapt, and certainly not be an ass. I hope that somewhere where those leadership traits that might read a checklist of my personality(ok, not quite yet) will help me and I will find me a place where I'm appreciated. I'm studying Economics and planning to go in Finance, certainly when dealing with huge loads of money people will be type A personalities..

Bunglunch, what industry are you working in? and I would like to hear you story and some of the most important things that you feel I should know.
