I know that I owe everyone photos. Photos of our AWESOME! road trip out to California. Photos from our AWESOME! weekend adventures to both Half Moon Bay and the Santa Cruz Mountains. And, finally, photos from our AWESOME! new apartment.
But you're stuck with photos of my new office. ::Shrug::
You're also stuck with my first impressions TechLaw PC from my first 3 days. (Please don't begrudge me my cheesy fake law firm names).
- I feel like I had been in a time warp technology-wise. It's all very overwhelming. I actually got to choose between a PC and Mac! Wow. (I picked Mac)
- People here are SO FRIENDLY. Like, almost too friendly. I leave work every day exhausted from the friendliness. I'm a perky person, but there are limits, people!
- I was able to pick out art from an art room for my own office. Yay for not having to share an office anymore!
- My firm only uses color paperclips.
- I get to work on cool IPOs with start-ups.
- The pay is the same as NYC but the hours are WAY better. My prior definition of a run-of-the-mill bad week: 9am to 2am. My new definition: 10am to 10pm.
- My firm not only takes recycling seriously (very seriously) but also composts and supports a local food bank.
- There is free sparkling water in the cafeteria.
- People here wear clothing that is not just black.
- Partners stop by my office to say "hi" and encourage me to "stop by" their offices to talk about what they are working on.
- My commute home today consisted of a harvest moonrise over darkened mountains. It was amazing. No joke.
Now the photos.
