2006 retrospective
Since everyone else seems to be doing it....
- January I did my second clerkship, this time at Clayton Utz where I realised that my problem was more to do with McCulloughs and less to do with my chosen vocation. Also realised that I hate hate hate being bored at work and that I will be satisfied with simple tasks so long as I'm kept busy.
- February I got an offer for a trainee position in 2007 at Clutz. I promptly accepted and told HR I was interested in working at the firm this year if possible.
- Largely unemployed up until late May - very poor and depressed during this period. Some stocktaking work which sucked but at least it was some extra money.
- April (easter) - camping trip to Blackdown Tablelands with Julian and 2 of his friends (this is fast becoming a tradition). Lots of drinking, card playing and damper.
- May/June began working as paralegal at Clutz. Many drunken escapades have resulted with other paralegals...
- Birthday featuring surprise guest appearance from Mel! Represented the beginning of the continuous drinking and binging of the festive season! Work christmas party on the same night - lots more drinking.
- Graduation! Graduated from Arts/Laws with IIA honours in Law. Felt justifiably proud.
- December saw my birthday, christmas parties, my 3 year anniversary with Julian, my graduation, christmas and new years and now I need a holiday just to recover! Unfortunately not enough boogie.
2007
- CSIRO diet to improve health and lose some kilos
- Back to bootcamp - can't wait!
- Coping with the loss of 2 of my best friends moving to Canberra and Sydney
- Considerably more boogie!
- Surviving 1st year at Clutz and PLT
- Camping at Easter again and maybe ski trip mid-year, and visits to best friends!
