I found bamboo tights disappointingly uncomfortable. No rash, though--that's sounds awful. And clearly can't be detergent--have you any other experience with the fibre? Mine were mostly short-crotched problems.
It's all about the coat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh no to rashes and sprains! My local allergens are strong enough to break through the chemical shield I use all spring and summer, maybe the bamboo will be not irritating at other times. That would be a hard gamble to take, though.
I seem to be going ahead with this refi, because I didn't have enough in the way of tasks and stress. If I'm able to live within my income in a couple of months it will be worth it, though.

I've totally worn the bamboo many times before. That's the weird part. But damn, having sort of upper leg diaper rash as an adult is not okay.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It sounds unpleasant, that's for sure.

Any buffistas know anyone who works at Skadden, Arps?
Nope, though I can give you general info on Law Firm HR if that would help.

I have a friend who worked there many years ago. (He hated it; they sent him to manila for a supposed two-week assignment, which stretched out to months. He refused to stay any longer after his coworker's marriage broke up.) I don't know if he'd have much in the way of contacts there anymore.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I can only tell you that Skadden as a firm should be a pretty intense place. I can't speak to the LA office, or the HR division, but if it matters to you, I would inquire about dress codes and that kind of thing. It's a client-facing business, and Skadden is not one of the firms with a laidback/lifestyle reputation.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Thanks, Bon. I worked at Weil, Gotschal in NYC in the 90s, and it was definitely a high pressure buttoned-up environment. Great benefits, though.
