End of summer greetings

Aug 17, 2009 19:32

Goodness, it's been quite a while since I posted here. The past few months have gone by just like that.

It's Helena, of course. She takes up all my energy and thoughts and I've never been happier in my life even though one of my nipples got horribly chapped and then infected because of that damned breast pump. Being a mother makes everything else ( Read more... )

Hi.

Hi.

...

That was awkward.

How are you?

alan_shore August 18 2009, 23:01:06 UTC

I'm...fine. There was some upheaval at the office in December and the dust is still settling. It's frustrating, but nothing I can't cope with.

I'm pleased to hear you're doing so well.

ynez_castillo August 18 2009, 23:52:49 UTC

I can't believe you actually used the word "fine" to describe a state of being.

alan_shore August 19 2009, 00:14:12 UTC

In point of fact, I was talking about my looks.

ynez_castillo August 19 2009, 00:32:59 UTC

I've missed you, Alan. I'm sorry we fought. I have a hard time remembering exactly what happened, but I'm sure I was less than adorable.

alan_shore August 19 2009, 03:17:49 UTC

I'm sorry it took me this long to...I had myself convinced you were through with me.

ynez_castillo August 19 2009, 04:25:04 UTC

Hmm. Well, I felt the same. It went very bad, very fast. I don't know how.

I have been very stupid about many things. I am sorry.

Well, given the choice, I prefer the brief and explosive method of destroying personal relationships.

As am I.

Tell me about what happened at work.

alan_shore August 22 2009, 04:32:46 UTC

It's quite simple, really. Crane, Poole & Schmidt was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, and a Chinese corporation took the opportunity to add us to its already impressive collection of law firms.

It's...a very different place these days.

Are they Communist? Are you all part of a collective now? How does that work?

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for a self-criticism session. Or do they even do that anymore now that Mao's dead?

Details, Alan!

alan_shore September 2 2009, 03:10:38 UTC

Are we part of a collective. No more than any other firm. Less so, in fact, as there's a considerable gulf between the new regime management and us holdovers from the firm's glory days.

Rest assured, however, they are staunchly--aggressively, even--capitalist.
