Hehe.. actually, after I got home from work, I went straight to the gym and had a little workout - so I've been home for about 25 minutes. I'll tell you one thing.. the commute sucks. I'll be taking the bus at least 3 days a week until I move. I spent 1:30 on the 37 mile trip there this morning (granted the fog was uncanny today). I also got out of the house 15 minutes later than I wanted to - there was more to get ready for my day than I realized! The commute home was comparatively quick - about 35 minutes. My first day went great, really. I actually felt really competent in a legal conclusion I made to one of the other associates who assigned me my first tasks. I think she was surprised at how well I knew the case when I told her about what I had decided. It felt a little long - I got in about 9 and left just about 10 to 6. I hope to move that back to around 8-5. I really like the associates at the firm. The staff are pretty cool too.. but I really like my two colleagues. The lead attorney is off on vacation for my first 3 weeks, so it'll be really interesting when he comes back and I won't be the only guy in the office I'm excited - looking forward to what is to come, whatever it is And thank you all for your support

Happy to hear that it all went well
*moves to the jokes thread*

YAY! I'm glad you had such a wonderful first day! I'm also glad that you feel good about your job (so far). That's important.

Btw, I don't get the joke...

LOL, there's a whole heap of them But I might save them for the Joke thread.

My cousins' house was spared from the fire, thank goodness. I can't say the same for some of her neighbors, though. Now my aunt is convinced that it's a good idea to NOT have any plants growing around the house. All the houses with trees, bushes, and such were destroyed. Eeeeek.

The police are convinced it was arson. I hope bad things happen to that person.

I'm glad they are OK, MissyMon.

I still can't work out why someone would WANT to start fires in the bush. We have had plenty of that happening here too... including some started by firefighters

They're kooks, plain and simple.

Nope. I just haven't seen her in anything yet I was going to mention that there are other Ryokos, since it's a popular name
