Putting aside the "woe is me" tone of the writer, almost all of the "obstacles" that she mentioned encountering as a young lawyer starting out would be typical for anyone. Yes, even white people, gasp.

As for the fable of the missed deadline due to the pursuit of a frisbee, I assume the point was that a white junior associate would have been treated much differently for blowing off a deadline, perhaps even praised and fawned over. Happens all the time in my experience.

She even obsesses about her response to statements that she imagined her co-workers and managers were thinking, not statements that were actually said, statements that she fantasizes  that they were thinking.

Apparently, she has advanced mind reading capabilities in addition to her world class legal mind. 

Thanks goodness it all worked out. I'll bet her former office's demand for eggshells to walk on fell dramatically as well.
