Get out of the big firm while you can

Is it me, or are Kevin's posts starting to sound more and more like something out of Voces Scribentum?

Only if he starts talking about the "phallocentric superstructure inherent in the system." I will never forget that phrase being read one night during my Freshnman Trip.

I never heard of that Voces Scribentum. Jonathan must be speaking about Voces Clamantium, the well-known Dartmouth literary journal.

While Jon is dead wrong on the facts, the sentiment is correct. There are certain similarities between large law firms and the atmosphere of conformity that leads to such publications as the voices crying out that Rob remembers so fondly (or at least vividly).

i'll check. i think i still have that silly little book somewhere. i could have sworn it was voces scribentum. if i remembered anything from the 8 years of latin that i took, that might help.
