Poor MoPac.

Austin is more tech, health/outdoors oriented and has a better going out scene. Dallas is fratty, corporate, brand conscious, more brunch oriented city.

Had a talk with the partners Thursday, they said I’m not producing enough work at the end of each day. First year associate, new area of law, wfh so they are more “what are you doing every second”. They want me to start turning in a daily log (we are plaintiffs attorneys so no billing normally) any advice? While I appreciate their honesty, I feel like they consider me severely indebted to them that they hired me mid pandemic and “allow” me to work from home.

I’m wondering if I’m overreacting, or she’s purposefully trying to just get paid more

Meet our newest Foster Pup! She is less that a year old, super sweet with people and other dogs. Took her shopping and she does great in public. Housetrained and we taught her basic commands in under a day. Very chill dog and would do well with a busy family. Don’t know the breed but she is ~25 pounds and doesn’t shed. Let us know if you know someone interested in adopting!

I'll be moving to Dallas for work this summer. I've been looking into housing options within walking distance from my job in downtown (wanna minimize driving as much as possible). Most of the places I've seen within my budget seem to have really mixed reviews. I don't need anything big or fancy--just needs to be safe and clean. Any insight on these places (or any other recs) would be great:
555 Ross
Moda
The Crosby
The Merc
SkyHouse
