The Reid's Dairy -- famous for their cheese curds and other dairy products.
The 401 east at 7am.
The Big Apple, Colborne Ontario -- famous for their pies.
It's been incredibly busy the past couple of months. But I managed to make the best out of work. Again, I love my coworkers -- the jokes and the borderline harassment are part of the reasons why I get up and go to work every day. Articling is always going to be hell -- the most you can hope for is a bunch of people you can have fun and joke with. I am blessed in that regard.
Another reason I get up (really early) for work is because I get to go to court -- very often. As a student at law I have limited court appearance rights. So most court appearances I do are for minor incidents -- things that I can't screw up. I do a lot of adjournments, some motions and status hearings and on the rare occasion, I get to conduct my own trial in provincial offences court. I savour every chance I get to be on my feet in court -- even if I only state my name and seek a new date for my next appearance. It's good practice for advocacy and the stakes are low.
Last week, I had to attend provincial offence court in Belleville. The drive was about just under two hours and at 7am, the colours of the sky was beautiful. I can't wait till the end of articling when I drive across the country and see how beautiful this continent can be. I stopped along the way to pick up some pie at the Big Apple and some cheese curds from Reid's Dairy for my coworkers. I felt like I went on a road trip. And I got the adjournment I needed. Win-Win. When the going gets tough, you need to savour the small things in life to keep going.
