Sunday Smack

Another really bad week for me is coming to an end. I don’t want to go into details, because Hungarian law graduates’ career turmoils most definitely don’t constitute an international affair, especially since whenever I have such negative experience, usually a fully Hungarian company is involved. I really never gave any credit to such generalization that blames one’s mistake on all others, but now my own experiences suggest that when I hear trash about Hungarian employers, it’s not entirely baseless. If you also have some really hair-raising story about pursuing your legal career and being played anywhere in the world,…

I submitted this photo this week for http://ifuwerentafraid.tumblr.com/. Sheryl Sandberg’s LeanIn.org is asking you what would you do if you weren’t afraid? And this answer pretty much sums up my life right now. Based on the notes it got, I am not alone feeling this way. What would your answer be?

Sunday Smacks are weekly round-ups of my favorite reads, most noteworthy happenings and everything I find worhty to mention here week by week. I haven’t used rss feeders before. I just decided recently to start using Google Reader to be able to catch up with all the blogs I was reading I was struggling to find the time to follow. But that was only days before Google Reader’s termination was announced (as timing…

Bail for Oscar Pistorius, but Doubt About His Story

Bail for Oscar Pistorius, but Doubt About His Story Although despite the defense’s efforts the case itself leaves little doubt, I thought this decision was somewhat predictable There really are enough reasons (listed by the Magistrage) to support his release. What is not among those though, is what the defense tried to use – I thought their argument that he wouldn’t run off missing the chance to restore his public image is quite ridiculous. Of course, his achievements to date are unquestionable, but his image is hardly going to be the same or even close to it again, no matter what…
