being a professional

1st day of work - stress and more stress. doesnt help tt me mentor is not the talkative type so for 1/2 of the day, i was sitting right in front of him in his office, pretending to look busy while trying hard not to fall aslp. having nothing to do is the ultimate stress.

then came the work. well, i shld be happy tt im helping out on a big ongoing case now so at least im learning. but there's so much legal research to do. spent near to 2hrs in the company's library searching thru books aft books, photocopying, highlighting, summarising and organizing. the lawyers will be attending another court session for this case so im hoping to tag along. well, having work to do is not relaxing either, esp when i've got to bring work home to do!

but it was fun wearing the lanyard with our access card ard raffles place. each card is personalised with our name and Allen&Gledhill printed bold over it. so people look at us like 'wow she's a lawyer'. haha cheap thrill. luckily the work 'intern' was not on the card. heh

and the best part? A&G has lowered their standard of formality for dressing this year. so there's no colour code though we still have to look corporate. well, i dont have to be black and white everyday, unless attending court sessions. oh and thank pek for giving me directions and advising me on how to go abt doing my work. i wld have been so lost.

oh and the movie Click was gd, tho predictable. pastamania was nice too, but i had too much. and thanks rich for the little gift today during lunch. it was very sweet of u.

came back ome to more legal work and singsoc stuff. gosh im racing agst time. and its an amazing race indeed.
