A new and improved thomsonwhike.com complete with wedding photos; if it's not done by the time you check this, it will be in 10 or 15 minutes as I am just uploading now! Can I say I heart iWeb? If you're using iPhoto, it's an easy way to publish your photos!
But I have to admit, this song is actually kinda catchy... take a listen by clicking on that prior link, and then feel the frozen chill zap down your veins as you realise who the singer is.
P.S. Bwahhhhaaa - I just got Julian to admit that he kinda liked it before telling him who it was!!!
P.P.S. Catchy ≠ good quality. I'm not saying she can sing - just that I might occasionally warble along.
This morning on the bus I overheard two law students talking very loudly about school, life and working for a firm... It struck me that you can never be too discrete in this town. I never took statistics, but anecdotally speaking, I see law students or lawyers on the bus several times a week - makes sense, especially if you're headed downtown, or out to campus, since that where lots of them are going too.
Later today, I got another reminder of how small the community can be. I was at my in-laws's house for BBQ (not even with law school folks) and people were buzzing about a recent e-mail sent by an associate at a large downtown firm, in which he sends an "open letter" and alleges harassment. There's even a blog.
Many people would be wary of sending such a missive, if only because notoriety isn't the best quality to have when you're suddenly back on the job market. But the blog says that he has received job offers since going public (and of course, the ubiquitous marriage proposal!)
Whether or not you agree with it or believe it, it's certainly an interesting insight into firm life. The fact that this message is the talk of the (legal) town is also a reminder of fast news travels. And if nothing else, it provides a good reason for why you should think twice before crossing anyone in the high-tech group! They are probably best-positioned to get their message out fast and first...
