Work

So the firm I will work with this summer is putting together some kind of picture book or yearbook for firm members so we don't have to wear nametags when the whole company (some 150 people) goes to Key Byscane next month. I'm really grateful that they are bringing summer associates (me), but I just recieved an e-mail asking some questions for picture-book related program activities, and I'm confused. Some of the questions are a bit cheasy, but it's better than nametags. More concerning is that I do not have honest answers to the questions. Maybe someone else can help me make up answers. Here they are:

1. If you could go back in time to any era, what date would you choose and why?
2. What future discovery do you anticipate the most and why?
3. What storyteller has been most influential in your life? What story is most vivid to you?
4. If someone made a movie of your life, what genre would the film fall under (e.g. comedy, drama, science fiction, etc) and who would play the leading role?
5. What restaurant in your home-office city have you enjoyed the best meal?


Also, Jennifer Lee sent me an interesting news article. Mexico is well on its way to decriminalizing consumer-quantities of even 'hard' drugs like cocaine and heroin. The intention of the legislation was to allow law enforcement to focus on drug narcotraficos. I don't know how I feel about it. It is good for Mexico becuase it's a step in the right direction, but I generally favor consistent public policies. I they are begining to legalize the demand side but continue to criminalise the supply of drugs. If this law increases the demand for drugs, it will only make the drug trade more profitable and thus more violent and corrupt. A big step for Fox though, whose party is (unfortunately) not likely to win in the next election.
