A frustrating morning gave way to a rather efficient and productive afternoon. I met 3 new people today, including one more of the attorneys who reside one floor up from me. I think now I have met 5 of them (there are 12) This one was quite friendly, albeit, terse and poorly groomed.

Oft there are excruciatingly awkward exchanges between my trainer and I as our senses of humor are mutually indecipherable. I have no idea when he is attempting a joke and he is even less apt to recognize my tomfoolery. So, usually he informs me after by saying "that was a joke" and I proceed to laugh. In my case, I'll say my piece and then when he doesn't laugh or acknowledge humorous intent I trail off and ask a work-related question.

I went to the bank during my lunch break to try to figure shit out for this credit card I applied for last week and to transfer the last of my funds from savings to checking. I now have $300 to last me from now until my first paycheck, which comes on the 15th.

Oh yeah and I found out my trainer will be taking a personal day next Monday, so I will be all by my lonesome with a massive amount of work. That leaves 4 days for me to learn all those things of vital importance to be completed accurately throughout the course of the day, which is a lot. I'll let you know how that turns out.
