We're coming to an end, so much has been learned and so much fun. Today was great we all went out to lunch it was so much fun.
I don't really do many written communications, I don't have my own email and cannot use my own for security reasons everything is just orally told to me. There are so many precedents hidden everywhere I do not need to write my own, anything that needs to be changed are colour coded, formatting is slightly different, oddly am slightly more picky I found the show hide things on Word Pefect it helps a lot, though I leave most things alone, except for things I specifically have to change then I make sure there are not double spaces.
Other than my enemy the typewriter I have not encountered any problems, other than having to photocopy a million receipts instead of using a hundred pages of paper I placed as many as I could on the gnome machine (I asked first, sometimes I would do things without asking and it did not quite work out stapling things for example) Some lawyers like it done differently, I finally figured who likes what done.
I don't use a to-do list, I have a reminder of notes of what not to do and what to do I am given things stuff to do and if they need something done for the next day or in an hour I stop what I am doing and do that first.
My weakness is names, especially later in the day when they are so much alike, I actually have to write them out by hand sometimes and look over them again to make sure I have them right. My brain just gets bored of seeing names and sometimes the computer screen makes it a jumble so I actually have to look over it again on paper to make sure they are right and I have commas in the right places, sometimes I just wish commas would die. Not quite sure how that would work but I did draw a picture of it, made me laugh.
The rest of the questions have to wait for another day those involve different thought and are not so easy to answer.
Cheers
Hey Meghan. You had mentioned that you weren't too good with names; is there a way you remember names such as writing and then some clues under the name such as the matter they're seeing the lawyer for? Hope you're enjoying the end of your placement!
