Bored....

[Guest Christy.dancer]

Now in my third day of w--k at my Dad's law office. Every summer he turns my "allowance" into a tax deduction by figuratively chaining me to a desk..... sigh....

I hope it's not too painfully boring. What do you have to do? Secretary type things?

So I guess you don't see the law as something you fancy a career in? I wish I had taken my exams when I did it to make up the hours to get a grant all those years ago instead of going into the music business. People always need lawyers.. they don't always need sound engineers. *sigh*

Get a kick back off his tax perk.. or be hopeless if you want.. at least it's paid work of some kind.. My father was a salesman.. I could sell organic fertilizer to a dairy farmer.. but sales is not something I would ever want to do. I guess you could look for alternative employment.

Yeah, pretty much. He runs a very small law office -- full time legal assistant, part time paralegal, and he tells me we're getting a law student from U.W. who's going to intern here this summer. The paralegal only works when there's a big case, and the legal assistant is on vacation until after July 4, so I'm kinda it. Dad's running around doing things most of the time (court house, clients, etc.) so I see him like a couple of hours a day.

Answer the phone (it rings MAYBE once an hour), open & file the mail, make a few copies when he needs something. He's very 'puter literate, so I occasionally have to send him stuff for him to read on his blackberry.

Oh, as a summer job, it can't be beat! It's great.

Dream job? Maybe a running coach... I LOVE running.

So anyway, I get the opportunity to google EVERYTHING... such as New Orleans. What's it like living there? Is it very.... accepting?

Don't get me wrong -- Bellevue's GREAT, but it's really..... bland...

Do you get to follow your dad to court? Or are you literally chained to the desk all day long??

It's a cool experience to be an audience in a court session. Went to one when I was doing an intro to Legal Studies subject.
