@pwc3, it was at a kids interactive science museum. It was supposed to be fancy (as it has been in past years), but instead it felt like we were all dressed up while waiting for a kids' birthday party. The lighting was super bright, there was a bad dj, and the food was very disappointing. Overall, it was a big disappointment when compared to prior years

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.
