I already posted about my NYC send-off, where we went out to see Milo Z and party in the city one last time before leaving town. I was lucky enough to receive an additional send-off party, this time from the good folks at Seward & Kissel! Although i guess after taking my blood, sweat and tears for the last eight-plus years, it is the least they could do. :-p The party was not just for me, though — my good friend Merideth Elliott, who started working at S&K a little before I did, is also leaving the firm to pursue a better lefestyle! She is moving to Paris for a few months on an apartment swap, after which she will take the foreign service exam and pursue a new career. She has been at the firm for as long as I have and she understands how hard it is to make a change at this point, so it has been nice that she can relate to what Andrea and I are doing, and of course, we wish her the best of luck on her adventures! Here is a picture of the two of us together at our going away party:
Although working at Seward & Kissel has had its share of ups and downs, one of the constant bright spots about the firm is the people. I’ve made a lot of great friends there, and everyone was happy for Andrea and I, and wished us well on our new life together. While I won’t miss the long hours, the late nights or the high stress level, I will miss my co-workers and friends. So allow me to raise a glass and say thanks to everyone who made working at S&K more tolerable/fun than it otherwise would have been!
Check out a bunch of pictures from my S&K going away party, and see if you can guess which ones are the partners and which ones are the associates! :-p
