Starting a new job

On Monday, I'll begin orientation as an associate attorney in the real estate practice group at Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP in Denver. I've written here even less frequently than usual recently because I received the offer only this past Monday, and I've been scrambling to get life in order and prepare for the transition.

I'm excited. The people of the real estate practice group (and others from the firm whom I've occasionally encountered) have all given very good first impressions. The firm has a strong professional reputation, and seems also to have a good reputation as a firm to work for. And for me, it's an opportunity finally to focus on transactional work instead of litigation, working on sophisticated projects with people who have a lot of experience with the kinds of work that they do.

I will probably continue to write here, but only very lightly at first. I expect to have a very busy summer. When I do write, I intend to avoid writing about anything having to do with my law practice. In particular, I don't plan to write about any specific working experiences. I do not plan to write about real estate law at least for a long while. (I haven't written about it before, so that's no big change.) I'm making these decisions entirely on my own initiative.

I used to use my time on bus rides to free-write short essays about what I saw on the bus and other stories of living in the area. I never posted them here. If I find myself doing the same sort of thing once I'm a regular bus rider again, maybe you'll see some of those sorts of things on this weblog.

But for now, I'd better get back to work on all of the tasks I've got lined up for this weekend!
