What follows is a series of e-mail communications between a Skadden associate and support staff regarding reimbursement for meals on Christmas Day. For big firm associates, it really doesn't get too much worse than this. These emails are currently being forwarded around -- I can't vouch for their accuracy, but they did contain a whole lot of confidentiality notices that...

Lately I've been a bit uninspired on the law school front. (That was an example of my deadpan delivery.) It's been terribly boring darlings, and I do believe I've had it with the New England winters.
