Five outta five ain't bad

My task this week has been to get five sworn and witnessed affidavits. As of Friday afternoon 5:30pm my mission was accomplished!

I've summarised a week's worth of work in one sentence, this doesn't do justice to trauma I've suffered this week.

A patronising barrister, irate uninformed client, incompetent Justice of the Peaces, witnesses on holidays in caravan parks!!!

Anyway I'm happy, I thought I would only get 4 affidavits done this week. In fact I was counting on it so I left the office 4pm with my supervisor's permission to get my driver's licence renewed. And then Murphy's law strikes, I get a call, Mr Darwin (not his real name) got the affidavit I couriered out to him and was ready to swear it. "Shimatta" (Crap!) I was already at Wynyard station a stone's throw away from the RTA Registry. I give brief instructions to my solicitor concerning the Justice of the Peace, enter the Registry and get my licence renewed in less than 10 minutes and then walk back to work!

To cut a long story short I got it done, it feels satisfying to meet the court mandated deadline.

I watched Hairspray tonight! It was good, funny, musical and entertaining. The best scene would have to be when John Travolta and Christopher Walken patch up and start a song and dance amongst clothing lines =)
