#6 Temporary Trials - The Librarian

Nothing much has happened since the last update. I am now confined to the library, listing books with the dream of creating a reference that is both understandable and artistic. Which is impossible, but I try.

Found out a couple days ago that the chambering student/ lawyer slightly annihilated his sleek bronze Audi. Wondered what car he is driving now. Saw him drive away in a BMW yesterday.
I wonder if he accidentally sort of destroys the BMW, if he'll be driving a Jaguar to work the next day.

Am currently reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Uncle sent a compilation of all six books in the trilogy, and the whole is fatter than my cat. Which may sound impossible, but there you have it. Will be leaving for Johor in two weeks. Less than a week actually.
From there reality will crash into my peaceful slumbering and I will have to get a job, or die of shame.

# 5 Temporary Trials - The Translator

Have a different picture, but too man-porn to associate with work.

Isn't he cute though?

Move aside Nicole Kidman, the Translator is here.
Finished translating Bundle from English to Malay, now typing out.
Had to bring laptop to work, so thought might as well bring broadband as well. Which would explain why I am online 9-5 this whole week.


Had painful experience yesterday. Came in from lunch late because stopped at bank. Almost completely embarrassed myself and future generations by walking into conference room while boss was with clients. Saved myself and went to eat jelly at main area. Snuck back to library while still eating jelly.
Had to pass the open conference room door on the way to library. Stopped chewing in case boss noticed. Once safely in library, boss called.
Was forced to swallow jelly whole.
Can still feel it digesting this morning.


5 boxes of law books arrived. Boss actually already has them at Miri office and can access them online. Basically he just spent rm 6000 on shelf decoration for conference room.

#4 Temporary Trials - Department of Redundancy Department

Spent the whole day making lists of closed cases, together with Aurora. Wondered for a moment if there was actually any point in me being there. But anyway.
Cases are very interesting, the worst and more bizarre, the more interesting. Further reinforces belief that most of humanity have no redeeming values.

There was a blackout at the office today. Lasted awhile. By the end of the first fifteen minutes, was taking back every word I said about conserving the environment by not using plastic bags, aerosol spray or AIR CONDITIONING.

Thank you, God, for creating AIR CONDITIONING.
I forgive you for creating Megan Fox, who enforces ridiculous expectations of hotness on all of womankind.

#3 Temporary Trials - Picasso In Words

Or maybe this is what lawyers should look like. Yep.

I think Henry Cavill and Hugh Dancy would make an excellent lawfirm.

Today completed going through each and every existing envelope regarding case. Found everything except core documents. Wonder if boss will dock my salary for not performing miracles.

Almost fell asleep in utilities room. Work is great to make you appreciate stuff. Like weekends. And sleep. And endless hours of dvd zombification.

Nearly finished Star Wars novel that I swiped from my brother while he slept. Sorry to find no Aylaa Securaa. Therefore felt no inspiration to become a better person. But did feel like Ewan McGregor too cute to play Obi-Wan in comparison to book character. Perhaps someone hairier would have been better.

#2 Temporary Trials - Darth Paper

My goodness, doesn't Chris Pine look exactly like a cute blonde asshole.

Woken up at ungodly hour by mother, who also had to go to work. Refused to wake up and went back to bed for another hour.


Arrived at work in time. Spent all day entombed in little library, looking through stacks of paper heavy enough to knock out bigfoot and his cousin. Did not find much relevant documents. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.


Working at lawfirm increasing violent tendencies. While reading affidavit, fervently hoped that defendants will run into Jack Bauer-like pain for being such useless human beings. Feel gravely disappointed in humanity. Need antidepressants. Sadly, clear copies of Star Trek have yet to appear.


Went home and watched first half hour of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. Couldn't bring myself to finish watching because too boring and irritated with Jedi stupidity.

#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.

#0 Temporary Trials

First day of work. Woke up at 7 something (am, ok? AM) to get ready.

Arrived at work before boss. Spent about an hour gossipping with former co-workers before Mum calls to inform me that I start work on Monday because boss is still in KL.

Wonder if God is laughing at me. Went home. Slept. Watched Terminator:Salvation. Watched Mamma Mia (again). Blogged.
