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.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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.

Yep. I'd study math with a professor like that.

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.

Oh god, it smells like someone heated up pickled herring in the microwave. I might have to flee.

There should be a rule against fish in the microwave on a friday morning.

Should be a rule against fish in communal microwaves, period.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think I can go running in the morning and still make it into the office for 6:30.
So many parts of that sentence are crazytalk to me! I can't imagine being in the office for 6:30.

I only do it twice a week, and being off at 3 is really nice.
I thought no fish in communal microwaves was the rule!
