Much better, thanks for asking.

It's going fairly well. Hardest thing has to be getting used to the Aussie accent. People who call mumble so badly and I have to ask a few times for their name/what it is regarding and then they get upset with me. If I don't though the partners get pissed that I didn't get all the info.

Otherwise good. Boring, repetative, lot's of down time when the phones don't ring, etc.

lot's of down time when the phones don't ring, etc. -Do you have a computer or are you at the mercy of office talk? I worked in an office setting once and it was horrid. I hope you don't get stuck working next to a middle aged woman that wears way too much cheap perfume and has a laugh like a hyena. -Shudders.

I have a computer but only Internet Explorer on it. Trying to sneak the admin password to install chrome.

The way the office is set up I sit away from the cubicles and partner's offices so I'm all alone. I can quite literally scratch my ass and pick my nose and no one will notice.

Use a kleenex, even when nobody's watching. It's just good form.

Would they frown upon you bringing in your own laptop?

My desk is barely big enough for my CRT monitor, scanner, and phone. :P
