lexis does it better!

so a couple of weeks ago we had our westlaw training for the summer. i was already 30 minutes late b/c i had my first uber-chatty partner encounter, but then i went to westlaw training and decided that in addition to the fact that i prefer lexis, i did not like the westlaw rep here either. so i decided to be that laura. i am normally very chatty with the lexis/westlaw reps. i'm the girl who answers all the questions. so i was still that girl, only with a bit of bite. [i wish i had had enough advance warning and could have made a t-shirt that says, "lexis does it better." actually, i'm thinking i may make one of those. probably better move fast on that, so i can get some use out of it b/f i leave school.] basically, i would answer every question, b/c the two systems are the same, and then i would mutter to diana, "lexis does that better" or "they have that on lexis too." the meeting really drove home for me that being a points whore really does mean you know lexis and westlaw better than other people. i was shocked by the things other people didn't know existed. i explained that i had used west-check b/c they once offered me points for it, not b/c i actually needed to cite-check a brief. i mean, if you offer me points to do it, well i've done it. anyways, the poor man. and he didn't give us points! he says he's not allowed to.
what-ever. see if you can buy my love like that. and that's just another reason that lexis does it better. plus, as i explained to everyone, westlaw points don't actually buy you anything, so it's not like it even helps to get them. i mean, what am i going to get after the first vacuum cleaner? i still haven't figured it out.
