My son not only has a BA in History, last summer he finished a certificate program to be a paralegal. He is working his way through the formal certification tests and has been looking for a job as a paralegal.
He got a call asking for him to interview a law firm in mid town Tulsa for a paid intern paralegal job. So at the appointed time I drove him to the firm and then headed out to nearby Woodward Park to wander around, see what I can see, and maybe take a few photos.
It was late in the day, the sun was low and the shadows were long and it was a beautiful Oklahoma autumn day. Autumn here lasts ridiculously long.
So I wandered around doing my thing and when I was about finished, son called and said he was done. I picked him up and he said the interview went well and they would let him know in a few days.
They came through with a full time, paid, temporary intern job at a salary about 50% higher than the box store job that he has. So of course he said yes.
Monday morning my wife took him to work and I picked him up at the end of the day. I have picked him up after work countless times over the years and he never had the big smile that he had that day. He had a great first day. He was nervous at first but his training kicked in. He had such a sense of accomplishment.
His boss sent him an email saying he did well.
His second day went well also.
Who knows where this is going, they only promised a temporary job, but for now his Mom and I are happy just enjoying the work he is doing.
And here is that moon I promised you. The full Beaver Moon shot a few days ago in my back yard.
