the ocean

I started at a new law firm on Monday. If you did not know this was coming, it may be because I barely did myself. Essentially, a fair number of the people in my practice group made the move and invited me to follow them. Because I like having work to do, I did. There was no dramatic incident (sadly) that spurred the change and I am (happily) still on good terms with my old coworkers. (Except for Tynnifer, who knows what she did, and can rot in hell.)

The new firm seems good, so far. I’m honestly still pretty focused on things like getting a building ID and finding the bathrooms, but I am succeeding brilliantly at that. Also, the break room has not just free Diet Coke galore (important) but also free cheese and cracker snack packs, which are my passion. Everyone is very nice and I still have convenient access to the restaurant with the chipotle ranch dressing I like. They did schedule me with three straight days of computer trainings at 8:30 am, but I recognize that morning people do exist. Even if they are against God’s plan.

There is one significant change for blog purposes, though. My new firm blocks this site, and I haven’t had a personal laptop for years (well, technically I have one, but it has aged to the point where it is basically a design object). So I am typing this from my iPad, which I am pretty bad at. I have large hands. But I will muddle through, or else just buy my way out of the problem as is my tradition. America.
