The Legal Janitor

Apologies to those who actually bother to come by this blog only to discover that I have not updated in ages.

I spent the better part of my summer working here, at a small firm. There were none of those horror stories that one hears of, the people here at Ravindran Associates, from the partners to the staff, are all good people.

And I’m sure as you all know, I’m as irreverent and disrespectful as they come, but my boss there, Mr R, he is one of the few rare people for whom I instinctively knew that here was a person I could look up to; the fact is that he earned my respect by simply being sincere, candid and wise. Why would you want to work for anyone else if you can work for him?

And it was immediately off to Melbourne after I finished my stint there. The first weeks are always crazy of course: paying off all the utility bills which I forgot about during the holidays, desperately trying to get the electricity, water, phone, etc etc blah blah blah working again so that I could live like a human being.

Next would be the desperate search for 2nd-hand textbooks which are still in a usable condition, as the law textbooks here in Melbourne cost between a small fortune and a large one. The worst news one can get (for both buyers and sellers) is that a new edition of the textbook is out, and contains “important components which cannot be found in the old editions”, which basically means another couple hundred of dollars gone again.

And finally, last week, I met her:

Cheesy, I know. But what can I say? I’m in love. Irulan, my first mac.
