Bittersweet memories

I think the biggest challenge of writing a blog is coming up with actual things to say. Kind of ironic considering I'm one of those people rarely at a loss for words.

Today was my favorite chocolate - bittersweet.

The bitter is that it was the last day of work for our articling student today. The sweet is she's now a good friend and she's going to be a lawyer as of Friday when she's called to the bar. I'm going to miss her calm, almost zen like presence in the cubicle next to mine but she's moving on to hopefully bigger and better things.

As I muse over the last ten months it makes me laugh when I think about how many conversations we had revolved around food, men and other such silliness. As Anne of Green Gables would say - I found a kindred spirit.

All the best, A.W. - One day I expect to be able to say 'I knew Justice so and so when she was just an articling student (if I haven't retired by that point!).
