One Down

Wow has it been a week already? Time really flies. I feel like I've been working at Nossaman for ages.

I have been commuting to and from work by car for the last week, and I don't like it one bit. I'm going to look into my transit options. There's a Metrolink station not too far from my house, and as soon as I figure out how to read the timetables, I think I'll try using it next week. Nossaman reimburses for parking or transit, whichever I choose.

One of the cool things about working in a laid-back firm is the Casual Fridays. I like the idea of wearing jeans and sneakers to work, even if it is once a week. It IS pretty funny though to see partners and other people commonly considered "stuffy" wearing jeans and hawaiian shirts.

I'm meeting up with some other Boalties after work. They're working across the way at O'Melveny and MoFo, so it should be interesting to see how they like life in the "Big Firm."

Today's Field Trip Lunch: Julia Stift, one of the tax attorneys (and a fellow Chino Hillsian) took us to Langer's, by MacArthur Park. Definitely some of the best pastrami daip I've ever had. Later found out that Karla, a relatively young and very friendly attorney with whom I was chatting about cooking and the Food Network, is actually a partner with over 15 years of experience. I guess not all of them are stuffy after all.
