omg guyz i start 2moro what do i do? i have no social skills.

I guess remember that your social skills were good enough to get you through a screener and CB, so they can't be that bad.

or your firm is willing to settle for goobers with no social skills. either way, no cause for alarm

Do any of you NYC folks have any advice on how to get a bed that isn't riddled with bed bugs? Is craigslist the only option? My sublet is going to be unfurnished and I start work a day after I move in so I'm trying to figure this all out this week.

Higher-end Ikea mattresses aren't that expensive. Or stuff like Casper and its competitors.

The idea of a used bed makes my skin crawl, bed bugs or no.

Almonds are pleb.

Last year a partner saw me buying yogurt covered almonds from a vending machine. I still got an offer, but it was close.

Anyone going to prep for the summer? I mean reading up on a particular area of law because the firms nonflagship office where you are summerin has got bandwidth in that area that's hasnt been remotely close to your focus.

Substantive reading will probably be overkill and the time to familiarize yourself to any sort of competency is impossible in the time you have. I'd subscribe to WSJ though, it's a marginal benefit to be generally aware of what's going on in the business world. Your firm probably gives you a subscription if you can wait.

Casper twin XL is $600 (goes up from there but I imagine you aren't looking to get a new full-size mattress) and i ride or die for them, ultimate sleeping machine.

I'm mostly troubled to see a poster named "almondjoy" bashing almonds

But everyone knows that almonds are barely a step up from peanuts and should be avoided in all professional settings. Lol this isn't hard stuff

Sorry -- this is a ridiculous place for mattress questions, but are these things actually legit? In market for a mattress and want to go Casper/Leesa route instead of a traditional, expensive brand. PM if you want so not to derail thread.

Peanuts are common for a reason. They're GOAT.

And almonds are the most nutritious nuts ever so who's the real pleb here.

[IsThisForReal]

High-end air mattress?

Peanuts are peasant food. Almonds are obviously the most prestigious nut.

I'm doing an IKEA mattress since I'm not quite ready to invest in something nicer yet, but I'm moving off campus right before work (as opposed to just subletting somewhere for a summer) and will be stuck with my new furniture for a while.

[Tiberius42]

I'm thinking about getting a mattress from leesa and just returning it at the end of the summer. They've got a 100 day no risk trial period. I'm just trying to figure out how it could blow up in my face

that's way too much for a temp mattress. Order a memory foam mattress off amazon for around $200 for full or queen plus prime shipping

I have both of these and they are very nice:

Thanks ton everyone! This is all really helpful and it saving me a massive headache.

What about getting a $40 air mattress and calling it good?

Not even trolling

Can I send this post into Cravath to show them that we NEED to go to 190k?

You should be able to see the creatures on the bed if they're present. Unless it's old and got holes, a normal looking one would probably suffice. To take extra precautions, terminex or any other pest vendor has those bed bug mattress cover bags that seal it off and keep anything however likely or unlikely in or on the bed in that plastic cover.

The inexpensive foam mattress is 100% TCR. Last summer i was got one of these for my unfurnished sublet: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Simmons-Studi ... s/23578290

Literally as good or better than my $900 mattress. Added bonus is that it shows up vacuum sealed so its it a relatively small, easy-to-move box to carry to your apartment.

The difference between a $100 air mattress and a $40 one is the difference between waking up with your tailbone hitting the floor. The cheap ones leak air uncontrollably. But even at the better range it's still an air mattress; your back will ache after a few days. (Also pretty terrible for boning, in more ways than one.)

Foam mattresses are terrible for fucking though.
