He seems like a happy dood.

Would it be a mistake to wear a really nice watch to the office as a first year? (Think cartier, panerai, etc.)

No.

Neither of those are particularly nice, so knock yourself out.

Sometimes, you are insufferable.

It's true, but what I said is correct. This is a nice watch:

Solid post.

A+ would read again

Is there any way to disengage the aspie or is this thread now ruined?

[Old Gregg]

Post aspie bait in another thread and hope he gets distracted.

[desertlaw]

Start work a week from tomorrow. Any things that I should be doing (other than strippers, cocaine, etc) in my final week of freedom?

If the experience never got more interesting than first-year bullshit, the business model would look a lot different. Big law is mostly hierarchal but not entirely so. That is, there are second years that run deals and fourth years that still do commodity work. The sooner you distinguish yourself, the less mindless nonsense you'll have on your plate.

Thanks for the advice. But what I really want to know more about is whether I should be a Patek for work? This partner has been egging me out about my TTT Baum & Mercier.

Oh my God you are back and you are so... so... you still.

But thanks for breaking down how big law works for me, those incredible insights will serve me well. I'll just get back to all of my doc review now! Sooo many documents to review LOL LITIGATION LOL maybe one day I'll just doc review my little heart out and get to write a section of a brief

You should wait until Apple or someone else makes a watch that functions as more than wearable art.

[romothesavior]

And you should stop derailing this thread with your bullshit. There are plenty of other places to talk about watches.

Since you brought it up, if you wanted interesting work early, you probably shouldn't be in litigation--n.b., I've made the case for niche transactional/regulatory groups in New York several times. If you're sick of commodity work, maybe it's time to think about a transition.

And to ignore the forest and focus laser like on an irrelevant tree: you're looking for the word/concept "commoditized." If you refer to it as commodity work, people are going to assume you're talking about CFTC regulatory work or something

I'll assume by your silence that the point got through.

And btw:

Commodity- 4. a good or service whose wide availability typically leads to smaller profit margins and diminishes the importance of factors (as brand name) other than price.
