I am now an articled clerk who is being paid a (very nice) sum of money.
I am employed!
I only applied to one law firm, and when they didn't ring at 9 this morning (when offers opened) I was convinced I was unemployed.
So I finally rang them, and they offered it to me over the phone. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Woo-hoo! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

What does "articled clerk" mean?

Silly Dags. It means they're going to mention her in the company newsletter.
Unless it means this . . .

Of course, it also means I now have to pay about $15000 a year in tax.
*Gleep*
And Rivka is, indeed right.

Incidentally, I'm not whinging above. The salary will still be more than enough.
It's just extreme to go from claiming the tax-free threshold to being well and truly paying tax.

Yeah, but it's Oz money, so it's not real dollars anyway. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
And I'm glad to hear the company is going to put you in the newsletter.

Yay! That's awesome imogen.
I still have the fingernail biting anxiety of applying and waiting to be called ahead.

Oh, Good Luck in advance, Kylie.
Thanks, everyone.
I was woken up at 5 to 7 this morning by the phone - a driver claiming to be from the law firm that hired me.
So I go and open the gates. Hard to be mad at the law firm for waking you when they've sent a welcome card and a bottle of Moet & Chandon Champagne.
