I found bamboo tights disappointingly uncomfortable.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
greatest maths professor
Yep. I'd study math with a professor like that.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I spent a hot and sweaty afternoon cutting bamboo once, and ended up with welts all over my hands and arms. Apparently sweat and bamboo slivers are a bad combo for me. I never tried bamboo cloth because I figured it could cause a similar reaction.
I think that once your body is sensitized to allergens, due to a spring tree orgy or whatever, other things that aren't usually much of a problem can be more so. Kind of like someone who's only mildly annoying on a regular day sending you into a rage spiral if you've had a few nights of insomnia.

Greatest maths professor. That's wonderful.
I don't think I can go running in the morning and still make it into the office for 6:30. I'm not gonna try today. I'm too many dwarves.
