I just received a confirmation letter from the Big Boss signalling that I am no longer on probation and am now more officially an employee of The Firm.

While others, such as Superman, are probably thrilled at this, this letter couldn't have come at a worse time. I presently hate my job. Well, ok, perhaps that statement is a bit strong. More accurately, I dislike my Boss. I realise that I am absolutely unmotivated at work and I dread seeing him. I question why I've chosen this career path and am seriously considering my options so as to get out of it. People have said that its just a rough patch and everyone suffers through their first year. But I look around me and feel like everyone else is adjusting just fine and don't drag their feet the way I do. Everyone else seems so much more enthusiastic and motivated. Perhaps I just have a poor work attitude.

Nevertheless. I can't believe I've been at the Firm as an Associate for 3 months already. I can't believe I've been a lawyer for 3 months. I wonder how much longer I'll last.
