Some unhinged things I did to survive corporate law. I wish these weren’t true, but the associate years were rough. 1. Took a Teams calls in the shower. Camera off, phone on the sink, nodding along to a CP checklist through the steam. 2. Slept in a toilet stall. Lid down, back against the wall, alarm set for 15 minutes. 3. Got home at 5am. Showered, brushed my teeth, ate a banana, and was back at my desk by 6. 4. Ate nothing but Uber Eats / Deliveroo for a month straight. Not a single meal I made myself. 5. Set 20+ alarms because if you sleep through the 8am, there is no version of that day you recover from. 6. Slept on my office floor. Coat as a pillow. Woke up when the cleaners came in. 7. Woke up every night at 3am to check my emails in case something came through #lawyer #biglaw
