Gulp

Just had a blitzkrieg IM session with Dickie who is working at a DC firm this summer. Apparently, instead of the wining and dining treatment that I had expected him getting as a summer associate, he has been working long days, has pulled several all-nighters so far, and worked 2 weekends. His assignments are “grueling”, and he is really exhausted. No time to go to the gym, eat out, relax, or see his mom.

He chatted with me for like two minutes and then ran back to work again.

On the upside, he does have an office, a secretary, and tons and tons of free food.

But still, he looks forward to returning to law school… yikes… Is this my future? Thinking about this is enough to make my stomach turn.
