Music: Mindless Self-Indulgence - Bitches
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had my first day of work today! I had to drive al the way down to Elizabeth for training, but once I figured out if it was a left or right on to 82, I was golden. Still took forever to get there, though.

I can tell I'm going to get by very well there. Everyone is very nice and I did well learning the ropes. One great story that I just have to tell...

I did my training with Jackie, someone about my age who's job I'm going to basically doing in the Dover office, ran me through the basics. As she was giving me the rundown on the kind of law Mrs. Romero does, she mentioned a unique situation that the practice had found itself in. A Japanese woman living in Fort Lee, had made Mrs. Romero the executor of her will and entrusted all of her property to the practice until her nephew could take it back to Japan with him. After telling me this, Jackie got a look on her face as though she'd forgotten something important. "Oh!" she said "I forgot to introduce you."

She pointed to the closet and said "Chizuko's right in there."

This woman's ashes are sitting in an Elizabeth Law office. In the closet. All the time.

Apparently the nephew is coming back for the bones, but doesn't really want the ashes. So, it seems that it's going to be the firm's job to take care of the. If the nephew will front the costs, Mrs. Romero plans to burry her. If not, Jackie says she'll take them somewhere nice to spread them.

In the meantime, it was just me and Jackie...

...And Chizuko...

Quite the first day, huh?
