#1 Temporary Trials - The Paper Detective

I wish all lawyers looked like Hugh Dancy, but then I wouldn't
be able to pay attention. Or do any work. Or breathe.


Today was (actual) first day of work. Arrived at 8.40, believing work began at 8.30.
Information in the form of questioning a co-worker revealed work starts at 8. AM.
Oops.
Finally saw new chambering student. Said a little prayer in thanks that he does not look like a toad.


Was put to work searching for documents for a case. Apparently some originals had gone missing. Felt very Lord Peter Wimsey a la The Documents in the Case, albeit more paperish.
After three hours in freezing temperatures and a set of purple fingernails, felt more like a very unfortunate Watson. Or a polar bear. A naked polar bear.
Did not manage to find all the receipts either.
Hmm.


Went home at 5 pm with intention to watch Street Kings, because found out yesterday Keanu Reeves, Chris Evans and Hugh Laurie are all in it. Together.
Too tired to do anything but laze around.
Fail.
