Yeah, fuck all those people who want y'all to have free delicious food at the painful price of talking w/ other human beings. What the shit. Y'all have the rest of your careers to depressingly shovel food down at your desk.

Yeah I dont get it either. When people at my firm don't have lunches they usually come knock on my door and are like hey do you have lunch plans. I know they just want some free lunch as they should.

[rpupkin]

i'm rarely at the office that late
no one seems to care

You stay out of this thread for weeks, and then you come in here throwing that hanging curveball? Focus, Brut.

Good strawman, bro. There's a difference, of course, between consistently refusing to eat lunch with others and occasionally eating lunch at your desk.

You should never be eating lunch at your desk like a slave. At least go outside and enjoy the sunshine

My favorite are the people who frequently admonish you not to stay past 6 as a summer, then send you strings of email requests around 6:30 or 7 acting surprised they couldn't reach you at your desk phone.

This weird mental game is really prevalent at my firm also.

Close companion case: when there's a firm event one night that goes late, and then first thing the next morning some associate comes over and acts very surprised that you're in the office and working "so early" at 8:30 or 9:00. No dude, I want a job, so I'm here, because that's what people do. I'm here at a normal time, even if I'm hungover, and so is every other summer, and so were you when you were a summer, because that's how this whole thing works. The summer is super cushy and awesome, and basically the only thing I'm expected to do is be in my office for a handful of hours a day, so I don't really understand why some associates want to make it sound like even less than that.

Are you at a 100% offer firm? People regularly come in at 11 and leave at 2 or 3 here.

Not 100%, but close. It's rare for our summers to not be in the office by 9 or to leave before 5ish though. I actually got called out by recruiting earlier this summer because I left at 3:30 one day and someone happened to come looking for me.

Folks will show up at 10 or 10:15 when super hung over. I've gone in at 9:00 after rough nights and shit if I haven't I hated myself and wished I'd just slept in

I'm a 1LSA at V100 in NYC. Had midsummer reviews for Summer Associate program two days ago. Had excellent feedback on all my projects except one by a partner. However, this project was on a topic not suitable for a 1L (don't want to give specifics but assume this is the case). Partner acknowledged it wasn't for a 1L along w/ hiring partner (even apologized for the project). Still, he didn't give me a good review. What should I make of this?

Sounds like they told it to you straight: you've generally done good work, but you did poor work on a challenging assignment that was over your head. This isn't unusual--it's nothing to worry about.

Wait....wasn't zacharus85 at GW? And wasn't he in his 30s? And didn't his posts often suggest poor social judgment?

I was wondering why he disappeared. It all makes sense now.

So that you can pinpoint him like you did. And yeah, you can just message a mod telling them what new handle you want.
