Broken In...
How does one break in a new associate lawyer?
1. Give a warm greeting.
2. Create a friendly atmosphere.
3. Crack lots of jokes (but nothing inappropriate, though to avoid suits).
4. Give a hearty welcome meal (perhaps lunch with all the other partners and associate lawyers).
5. Issue anything from brand-new MacBook to a brand-new car (depending on how big your firm is).
6. THEN, hit hard and fast with a ton of work on the first day!
Make 'em deserve it, I say!
Seriously, though, we broke in our first new associate lawyer as our newly-reorganized lawfirm. She's the first one we have from law school I came from so I guess the rapport should be there.
But enough of that.
It's winding down for the Holy Week holidays. I'm actually in vacation mode already. But there are actually two more working days in this week. Depending on the workload, I'll probably start to slow down.
Also, it's Bea's last day of school tomorrow. That means only one thing: a two-month vacation from bus driver duties. Yay! I'm really going to enjoy waking up slightly later that usual.
But of course, I still have my customary choir duties for this (which also pile up during these times). But I'm not complaining a bit. Where else can I serve in a way that I love?
And if you're Roman Catholic, I hope you have a meaningful vacation.
I'll probably post appropriate readings starting tomorrow, for those who care to read them.
