Adelaide reports. You believe.

Hello family! It's been a while. I've been busy, but not in an interesting way like Adam (producing cool video clips) or Jake and Kelly (producing children).

For the past month or so I've been the work experience kid at a law firm. As Daniel will no doubt attest, a career in the law is very glamourous. Today, I was awarded the highest compliment a law clerk can obtain: after a successful mission to the Supreme Court library, I was dubbed a ‘good photocopier’!

Photocopying is a vital skill for any aspiring lawyer. Even if you’re crap at legal research, even if you can’t argue your way out of a paper bag, if you’re a good photocopier you’ll be okay. People will like you because they can get you to do photocopying. And, let’s face it, no one likes to do photocopying.

The downside to being a good photocopier is that word of my prowess will soon spread through the office. So far in my four weeks here I’ve only had to photocopy one article and one case, but now that everyone knows I am available and competent re photocopying duties, I may be in hot demand.

In addition to my work experience, the past month has involved a crazy series of job interviews to try and get some summer work at law firms. Through practice I've gone from being very bad at job interviews to being passable, and after much suspense I've ended up scoring gigs at two different Adelaide offices. Which is good news for my career plans, and terrible news for my plans to goof off over the summer uni holidays.

Mum and dad have gone away somewhere this week, so Phanny's been looking after Rowan at the folks' house. Luckily, now that Rowan's at university he's turned into quite a sensible young man, and I'm sure he wouldn't have orginised any wild parties in mum and dad's absence.

...fairly sure.
