I Have Joined the Ranks of the Employed
So, Monday was my first real day at work. It was a fucking day and a half. First off, Katherine, whose job I'm taking over, insisted that I get there at 8:30. So I did. I was the first person there, which was rather strange. I used Katherine's bent key to get in, then went to my office (I fucking have an OFFICE!) and started reading through some of the things that one of the lawyers had assigned me on Friday. After a while, I heard someone else come in, so I figured I should let them know I was there. It was one of the secretaries, and, boy, was she freaked out.
Anyway, the lawyers all rolled in at about 9 or 9:30, and I had stuff to do right away. The lawyer I do most of the work for really expected me to jump in right away. At the time, it was incredibly overwhelming, but now I'm starting to realize that he was expressing an amazing amount of confidence in me, so I actually really appreciate it.
Everyone I work with has bee incredibly nice and helpful so far. They've answered all my numerous questions patiently and thoroughly. I was excited about my job before, but I'm even more excited now that I'm actually there.
I hate having to wake up early, though.
After work on Monday, Katherine and I met up for dinner to discuss our first days at our respective firms. I think she was pleasantly surprised by her first day at her new firm. We went to Ginza of Tokyo and had an awesome hibachi dinner in which I had steak and lobster, which was pretty much amazing. Then we went to the Great Dane to meet up with Nidhi and some of her other friends. It was nice to see Nidhi since we hadn't seen her in so long. Unfortunately, neither Katherine nor I could stay for very long cause we both had to get up early.
My second day, Tuesday, also went really well, and I was given even more responsibility, which is simultaneously exciting and scary. I'm sure I'll figure it out.
I woke up today and I'm feeling kinda sick, which sucks. I've been feeling it for a few days, but the feeling's gone away during the day. I think I might feel this through the day, though, which sucks. I'll just have to make sure to get an excellent night's sleep tonight.
Anyway, I gotta go to work. I'm planning on keeping the blogging about work to a minimum because that seems like a good idea, but Here is No Why will be frequently updated through the summer.

I think you mean "been"
I hope you feel better soon. Getting sick sucks.
So, haben and I aren't important enough to be reported in your daily routine! Don't you want to report about the idiot at the Flat Iron who wouldn't give us an ice cream sandwich after we got all excited about it?!!!
P.S. it DOES seem like a good idea to keep the blogging about work to a minimum. That's funny! and true!
