Fun With Lawyers
I am back from the firm retreat, which was better than I anticipated. I enjoyed hanging out with people from work (did I say that?), and the only really annoying part was the extended "session" with a woman who is an employment lawyer and teaches other lawyers how to think on their feet. Basically, her sessions are take-offs of Who's Line Is It Anyway, only the lawyers aren't as funny as the trained actors on the show.
Some of the funnier moments during the retreat came up Saturday night during the game of Night Spiker volleyball, a firm tradition. The game starts around 9 p.m. (right after our Luau) and is held outdoors with a glow-in the dark volleyball and net, and some lights on the sides so people don't spike each other instead of the ball. One of the partners in my department, a middle aged guy who enjoys his alcohol, decreed himself to be the scorekeeper of the game. He had arrived at the luau wearing a coconut bikini top (so wrong on so many levels), shorts and a grass skirt. When the volleyball game started, he sat on the sidelines, in his outfit, right next to the net, which he held onto for support (using the hand that wasn't holding his beer). He would occasionally drunkenly yell "side out!", regardless of whether the ball was actually in play. Good times.
The only real snag in the weekend was when I checked into the hotel, looked through my bag and realized I forgot to pack any underwear. Rather than go commando for the weekend, we ran by Target and $80 later (I cannot seem to go to Target without spending a fortune), we were back at the beach resort. I had an outstanding massage at the spa yesterday, and Archi had his fill of rum runners which he enjoyed poolside. All in all, not a bad way to spend a weekend.
Tonight, we get serious. If we're going to move into a house, we're going to have to clean. And not just pick up a few things but seriously clean. Like with brooms and stuff. I'm not sure if I'm ready for this, but ready or not, here I come.

I've considered it, but given the amount of $$ we're spending on closing, plus buying a fridge, an oven/range, a dishwasher and a lawnmower, we might not be that liquid.

Drunken partners... no underwear... sounds like some people's idea of a great weekend. Or Hell.

Ugh, I HATE cleaning before and after a move. Have you considered hiring a service for one day? It almost seems worth it to me!
