Take charge advice for work and play (theoretically) every Thursday

Idgie- I just graduated from law school and am working at a really cool firm. It is laid back, smart, and fun! The style is decidedly lax–everyone wears jeans! All my friends are jealous! However, an older woman (a partner!) at the firm has pulled me aside [...]
