I think I'm abandoning this thing. A lot has happened since I last wrote. Someone in my office was giving me shit about this blog, and I decided to stop writing it. It was like another straw on the camel's back in an already strange department. For a while there the office politics got really ugly. I was thinking about taking an offer from a different firm and then a medium-term project opened up overseas so I'm actually camped out in a London apartment and have been flying back and forth for the past couple of weeks between offices. I should be fully moved in in London for a stint that will last maybe two years. That's one of the best things about working for a really big firm -- you can get the hell out of dodge for a while and have a complete change of scene, change of co-workers, change of partners, change of clients, and you haven't actually quit or been fired. And if you want to come back you can. I don't know if I'll want to go back. So far the folks in the London office are pretty cool.
