My first day as a paralegal

I'd been waiting for this day for weeks. I'm excited by the prospect of learning legal lingo and whatnot, but also because my new teammates seem as nice as the one in the old one.

I moved from the sixth floor to the fourteenth. Maybe it's because we have our founding parter on this floor; everything seems nicer here. Even the washroom is fancier. My cubicle is about the same size but I feel like this one is more spacious because I used to have a bunch of communal stuff in the corner of my desk in the old office. Also I have an awesome monitor which is about 2.5x my old one. Most of times I need to work with multiple windows and my old monitor was too small to handle three at the same time. I'm sure this new one can handle six without a problem. The CPU seems a bit faster as well, but I could be wrong.

The day is progressing rather slowly for me today. I don't think any of the lawyers are really aware of my presence in this team... yet. I think they will get to know soon enough, it's just that the division I'm responsible for (Corporate finance) doesn't need a paralegal right this minute. I suppose I should count my blessing for being able to ease into this new job.

Will report more once I come across things that are actually worth reporting.
