Feeling Better/Last Day
Well, my back is much better after a couple days of some serious muscle relaxers and not really doing too much. I'm happy to say I'm all better. I still don't know what caused my back to spasm like that, but oh well it's over.
Yesterday, my wonderful boyfriend came down to Porterville to see me. He came to my office with really pretty flowers and then we went to this Italian place down the street for lunch. Then we came back to my office and he sat with me while I did some work. Most of my work yesterday was making lists of what I do for the next person who comes in to take over my job. Then I had to run a couple of errands and that was pretty much it for me. So we drove up to my house in Springville and he had dinner with my family. We watched Madagascar and sat and talked. Then he left because he had to be at work at 6:30 this morning. Then tonight he is flying to Seattle. I'm so excited for him because he gets to leave the valley, but I'm sad too because I'm gonna miss him.
Today is my last day of work. I have mixed emotions about it. I like the people I work with and I have learned a lot about the legal procedure. It was nice to work with people who were about my age. The oldest person in the office is 30 so they could all relate to what was going on in my life. Since I started my job on June 1st I have worked with many clients, typed lots of letters, drafted a contract, taken phone messages, organized files, witnessed a new attorney swearing in, and helped coordinate a trip for 14 high school water polo players. Ok, that last one might sound a bit confusing so let me explain. The attorney who owns the firm that I work for is also a high school water polo coach. My little brother is on the team, which is how I got involved. They were invited to an international water polo tournament in Auckland, New Zealand. Now naturally this is a huge task, but my parents became the "organizers" of the trip and they helped set up fundraisers, and they organized the parents so that the team raised enough money to pay for all the athletes' trips. Ok, so while I was at work, the coach decided it would be good for me to figure out rooming assignments, a behavior contract, a packing list, chaperone lists and jobs for each chaperone, oh and balancing the budget. That was a nightmare! However, it all got settled and they ended up having a great trip. So, all that aside I've had good experiences and not so good experiences. It has been a great summer job and I know I'm going to get a lot of letters of recommendation out of this. So it's a bittersweet goodbye. There a people I will miss and certain clients I won't miss.
