So I was looking over the last 30 days of how people found my blog and found a few interesting ones:

The number of variations of my blog moniker are mind-boggling. In case it isn’t clear, the name is Part-time Law Mom. I.e., I’m a part-time mom, part-time law student because God knows I am giving nothing 100%. The “correct” abbreviation is PT-LawMom (because the PT modifies both Law and Mom).

To the person looking for “Vicious Secretaries in Pantyhose”, I keep the pics from my long-ago Secretary days under lock and key, buddy. But you could probably find some of that stuff at Babeland and if you click through to them and buy something, I’ll have enough of a Christmas tip to buy some lacy thigh-highs of my own. (Disclaimer: of course I am joking. No legal secretary worth her salt will so much as wink at her boss in that way. Doesn’t mean you can’t be a “naughty secretary” at home, though…)

“Tips for Legal Secretary Blacklining” — Not sure what kind of help you need with that. There are lots of programs out there. My preference was always to type the doc clean and do a comparison afterwards or just do a merge if the other side wanted to accept/reject changes. I hate Track Changes!!! For awesome Word/tech tips, see The Connected Lawyer.

“Single parent and its effect on the Jamaican society” — single parents rock. Go here for more proof!

“Mom _____ _____ her son” — you sick bastard!!! You need help.

“Basics of Being a Good Legal Secretary” — Go to NALS.org. Sign up for the ALS and PLS exams. Only work for lawyers that value your opinion and your brain. Request feedback and then put the constructive criticism to good use by doing it better next time. When all else fails, move on, embrace the fat raise that comes from the move and love the fact that good legal secretaries get paid very, very well to take that bullshit (more than most non-BigLaw first-year lawyers in many cases).

“What are qualities that make a good legal secretary” — See above. And I would say attention to detail, ability to take the initiative COMBINED WITH the ability to do what is asked of you (some attorneys HATE initiative and you have to be willing to suck it up and do it their way even when you know it is wrong or stupid), strong technical skills (nothing like getting a 50-page brief at 11:30 p.m. that is due for e-filing at 11:59 p.m. only to find a million evil formatting gremlins throughout the document), fast typing speed (most places require 65wpm minimum), discretion, pleasant personality and strong organizational skills (don’t use my messy ass desk and disdain for filing as your example).

And, of course, I get a lot of variations of searches on mothers, MILFs and porn. Here’s what I would suggest. Go to Babeland, buy/download some movies and leave my blog alone. I won’t be posting Mommy porn anytime soon, guys. Sorry.

Ten worst dates — you can read about them all here and, please, share yours. It’s fun!
