Mornin', Gents! Hope all made it to the weekend in one piece and with very few scratches. I made through my first week on the new job and am enjoying it a lot, though I still get nervous about all that I need to learn and do, but I am enjoying it....one step at a time, right?! The paralegal I'm working with said that she's going to add something else to my list of things she'll teach me, which is good because I need to learn all that I can before she leaves in three weeks. Another paralegal said that she was going to let me work with her on a closing/deal from start to finish, which will definitely be a good thing as I'll need to do it at some point. The only problem is, the paralegal I'll be working with on the closing goes on vacation next Friday at 5pm, so while the closing/deal will mostly be done, there will be other things I'll have to do on my own. Nothing like being thrown into the fire to learn quickly, huh? I'm ok with it, it will force me to learn quickly. Now on to the weekend. Have a good day, gents.
TTFN
I think that could be said of any task you do over and over.
This is true, and right now I'm not sick of them because I'm still learning, and having fun doing it. I'm still making some mistakes, but it's usually things I still haven't grasped yet, like knowing which certificate numbers to use, there's always a few of those on a deed....stuff I'll eventually get.
That's great! Having that type of environment can be worth (or save) a lot of money....low stress = better quality of life and less medical bills. Not to mention making the days go by faster.
Exactly! And everyone there has worked there for years. The receptionist has been with them off and on for here entire adult life. One paralegal has been with them for 25 years or more, so that says a lot about the firm and the work environment.
And the worst day is the last one. I was able to meet Mike and his family. Thanks again for the bourbon and letting me crash on your family time. Afterwards, DW and I went to Kiminos for a last quiet meal, and it was excellent. Time to pack. Y'll have a great day.
The last day of any vacation is always the worst...especially when you know you're going to be leaving Disney World. That's cool that you got to meet another DisDad member.
I'm sorry, I just fell asleep reading this sentence.
Glad you're enjoying it, though!
And, we made it home. Bad news first. Apparently, when I shut off the water before we left, I overturned the valve and broke it. So, a 2:30 PM call on Friday to the plumber so we could have water for the weekend. Now, I get to patch a big hole in the wall. Ugh.
And I thought I was going to read that you came home to a flooded house. Whew! Glad that didn't happen.
Good news. I bought a new shot glass at WDW for 2020. It's a double. Mmmmm......tequila. Even sideways, I didn't spill a drop.

Nice.
Better news. On the flight home, DW and I talked about future vacation plans. We had discussed a Florida beach condo, but she says she's thinking she would rather stay in KY. So, I ask if we can move further out and buy some land for a pool and hot tub for her, and some fishing, shooting, and 4 wheeler riding for me. She said that sounded good. It may not be a beach retirement, but I can have a lot of fun.
Well that's cool.
