Week 1: First day on the job

4 February, 2008 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Today: 8 hrs. Total: 8 hrs.

The first day at Ginter investigations more or less lived up to my expectations of what work would be like at a small investigation firm, although a lot of what I did was more on the administrative end of the business, and I realized that as with all small businesses, it’s not necessarily all doing what you like to do, it’s also doing finances and so forth. I am looking forward to doing more work out in the field, and really getting into learning about the bread and butter/steak and potatoes of the industry; although learning the workings of the administrative side of the business will undoubtedly be fascinating and informative as well.
