Dopo Domani...

is a phrase that basically means "sometime after tomorrow" and when used to reference when things will get done, truly embodies the Italian way of working. Even with a more relaxed work environment, WFP still does amazing work for the world!

I am now 3 days into my stint at the WFP and I am slowly getting used to taking espresso breaks approximately every hour (you drink them quickly afterall...) and doing legal work without concern for how many six min billable increments I need to account for.

Where I go to work everyday--the WFP offices.

I share an office with 3 people who speak Italian, French and English interchangeably, seemingly without noticing which language they are using (until they see my blank stare).  Perhaps I will improve my French by mere osmosis?

I am just getting started on a few appellate cases which involve employee claims of wrongful termination and defending UN employee's privilege and immunities.  Turns out, UN employees are immune from the excercise of ANY local jurisdiction when they are on duty working abroad, which is actually pretty amazing.

Ciao for now!
