Ok, folks. I know you’re mad that we disappeared for so long, and you were all convinced that CE was just another random blog that didn’t make it past the 6 month mark.
Boy were you wrong.
The bar is over (for the first time, at least), and the CE editorial staff is all graduated-up and everything. Tim had his baby. Well, Tim’s wife. You know what I mean. So, it’s back to the business of blogging. (I know, I know, we’ve talked about alliteration…)
Now, as always, we’re not making any promises about frequency, but if you notice a lag in between posts, just know it’s for a very good reason. In fact, be prepared for your fledgling, little employment law outpost to start taking its first steps towards manhood (no offense, ladies) in the coming weeks. Besides, if you’re solely relying on this blog for your daily entertainment or news, then you can’t be too worried about staying on top of things in the first place.
So, things may disappear, new things may start showing up, just keep your eyes open, and look for invitations to our coming out party in the mail.
Anyway, say hi to the boys when you see them. Nobody calls me anymore…

We try very hard around here to maintain some journalistic distance, so as to fool some of you into thinking we’re a viable source of news, but January has proven to be a pretty full month, and some personal acknowledgements are in order.
First, I just wanted to thank everyone for your thoughts and very kind words these past couple of weeks as my family got one baby bigger. My wife, Katie, did give birth to a baby boy on January 23. Both Katie and our new son, Leo are doing very well. He was born on his due date, which is a good sign, we thnk. Also, because he came on time, his 37th birthday will be 1/23/45, which is pretty awesome.
Leo partied a little too hard on the way out and is spending some time in the NICU at Northwestern’s
Prentice Women’s Hospital recovering (
read: flirting with the nurses). We owe them a lot of thanks, and this is my most public outlet, so I’m using the blog to thank our doctor and everyone at NW for all their hardwork and patience with us as new parents.
Also, the CE staff has become significantly more credentialled, as all 3 of our current, active contributors graduated from
John Marshall on 1/27. Aaron Janik, Chad DeGroot and I all received JDs and Chad was crazy enough to get his LL.M in Employee Benefits at the same frigging time. Congratulations to everyone – just one test and we can start living the dream…
Once again, thanks for letting me toot my horn. Regular CE operations (which, let’s be honest, is almost an oxymoron) will resume soon (like tomorrow) with some even bigger changes coming down the pike, so keep a lookout. In the meantime, feel free to add your own congratulations to Chad or Aaron or myself (or Barack Obama or anyone, really) in the comments if you want to.

Hello, everyone. We just wanted to let you know there may not be a post for a while – anyone who has read Tim’s profile (or talked to him for 30 seconds) knows his wife, Katie is pregnant.
Well, she was.
At 9:05AM on January 23, Leo Ryan Eavenson was born, and Katie and the baby are both doing well. Tim is, of course, using the excuse to hang out and not do any real work or studying for the bar exam, part of that laziness being that he will not be posting to Current Employment until everyone is home and well and no longer useful as a justifiable excuse.
In the meantime, here are some interesting stories on the state of law firm employment.
Enjoy, and we’ll try to get Tim off his butt long enough to post some pics asap.
