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 :sweat:

I'm excited - looking forward to what is to come, whatever it is :woot:

And thank you all for your support :hug:


Happy to hear that it all went well :victory: :applaud:

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. :D

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

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. :mad:

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 :crazy:

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