Do you have a felony conviction?

Intern distraction challenge:

See if you can find the ghost fish.  Really, it's very rewarding. 

Proper Pizza Friday!

Mellow Mushroom's Hawaiian Pizza - 5 out of 5 (stars)

It's 102 degrees outside today, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the extra ham-my and parmasean-y deliciousness that is/was this pizza.  A great choice for the hottest day so far of the year!  Afternoon pizza coma is in full effect.

Sadly, we've determined the patio (lanai?) is unfit for chairs or a baby pool :(  We are not yet ruling out the possibility of a sprinkler.

On a related note, Washington Pool is shockingly uncrowded today.

Friday at 4:50 pm

No caption necessary.

Birthday in the Bird Cage!!!!!  We are sitting in the warm and happy glow of fresh cut flowers back here, courtesy of the world's sweetest little brother :-)  You can enjoy them too, and don't forget about happy hour tonight!

After a grueling trip to the gym, 100 lunges turned one intern into a self-declared "stork on ice."  Tried to find a relevant picture, but this blue footed booby is just too cute not to include...

Questions of the Day

Hey all you lawyers and future lawyers out there, the Bird Cage has some questions for you!  Your input, serious or not, will be much appreciated. 

If you're an owner of a business, can you also legally be an employee of the same business? 

If the VEC messes up and you receive unemployment benefits for over a year before the VEC realizes their mistake, can they really make you pay it back? 

road work alert

Hey Boiler Room: 

I hope you're also noticing the cute road work guys putting on a midday show for us out on Preston Ave! 

(okay, maybe that was an exaggeration, sorry)

Dismissed!

A success story:  We had a client come in this week for help having his voting rights restored.  Turns out, he never even had a felony conviction, sooo his voting rights are still intact.  Nice work, interns. 

The bird cage has a new pond!  Or, it did, until Tim came and valiantly swept a pile of leaves out of the drain.  Watch out weatherman, these lawyers aren't afraid of any tornado watch.
