Working 9 to 5

Today was the first day on the job, and for me, it was so interesting to "work" in a big law firm. Since a big firm job is not something I am working towards, it was nice to visit one for a week.

After a slightly harrowing drive downtown, we arrived at a huge office tower, and took 2 elevators up to the 51st floor. We were shown to the conference room on the 52nd floor that would become our home for the next 4 days, and much to our delight, there was an ample supply of cold sodas, water, and coffee. Most spectacular however was the views of the city. From our room we could see the Mississippi River, and watch the ships go by.




From the library across the hallway, we could see the city, and all of the things we saw on our bus tour, including the still-closed Hyatt, the Superdome, and Lake Ponchartrain.





With regards to legal work, I spent the day getting cosy with one of my files and trying to figure out who has a property interest in a certain piece of land. Just when I thought my work was cut and dry, I discovered a second piece of property, so more investigation is in order. A more detailed blog to follow later in the week.
