β€œI am a successful lawyer,” I whisper to myself as I stand in the dead-last boarding group awaiting my middle seat in the ass-end of the plane.

πŸ”₯ Just another day at Stennis. Stage 2 successfully completed its first integrated hotfire! The A2 test stand was originally built in the 60s to support Saturn V Upper Stage testing (S-II). It was later reconfigured to be a single engine test stand for Shuttle Main Engine testing and development. The last Saturn V Stage test occurred October 30, 1970 on A2. It has been 55 years, 11 months, and 17 days since A2 supported stage testing capability. As of this morning, it is now 0 days.

I can’t wait to watch this movie with my kids and ruin the experience for them by talking over every second of it with my sparkling commentary. Mwa ha ha. πŸ‘Ή

Gosh, that sounds like an intellectual property lawyer’s dream come true. Oh, wait. That’s me!
We're going to conduct science at Mars.πŸ”΄ Yesterday we announced the Interplanetary Sciences Program. Today, let’s take a closer look at the ground-breaking technology we're developing and launching to the Red Planet: πŸ“‘ A shallow radar sounder built by us to map subsurface ice and geology, revealing climate and geologic history, habitability conditions, and high-value landing sites πŸ–₯️A Relay Data Center built by us to deliver networked optical and RF communication, run advanced algorithms and AI models, support autonomous responsive science operations, and return massive data volumes to Earth. πŸ”¬ An atmospheric profiling suite built by @NASAAmes to measure winds, temperatures, clouds, dust and planetary energy balance.

After onboarding a new outside counsel, the relationship partner often says to the lead in-house counsel, "We are going to make you look so good." Private practitioners: Do you say this? Do you complete the sentence by providing the preposition "by" + an explanation?
