Even if you work in a big NYC firm, you can't just sit back and be mousy. One Sunday night, just bring one in. Nowadays you can get a decent sized mini for $69 at Target. Just stick it under your desk. No one will notice. It will also cool you off if you ever get steamy. If you look like El MacPherson, things will get steamy quick. If you don't, well then maybe they won't. You tell us. El, you need to be more assertive. Even if you work in a big NYC firm, you can’t just sit back and be mousy.

I'm at a megabiglaw in NYC, too and no to the fridges (I asked, though -- probably shouldn't have done that in the frist place). Frankly, it probably wouldn't fit under my micro-size desk anyway. I've seen them in partner offices, though. @6:44 — NO! I’m at a megabiglaw in NYC, too and no to the fridges (I asked, though — probably shouldn’t have done that in the frist place).

That stuff is NASTY; I can't believe you would put that on your face!! Whatever you do don't put petro. based ointment on it…go get some cold cream or burn cream or something. I would have stayed too (though, perhaps not for the same reasons listed above re: "your lips") some baby-new hire should never get between you and a nice cocktail. You should have laughed it off...and then made him feel really bad for saying anything. I mean really 1st week or so on the job and he is flirting with another established assoc. and calling her out for having funk on her lip...not a good start in my book. I've put in my time. I should be able to smear dog shit on my lip without having someone who is still too scared to get coffee from the break-room say anything about it. Awe…BFW that’s sad.

After a few drinks at events like these, no one would care. And, once you got him home, I would hope you'd have him focused on your other lips. You should have stayed.
