Tuesday but feels like Monday

Work is starting to slow down. There already wasn't a whole lot to do when Mona was working here, but there's even less now that business has slowed down significantly. I file correspondences when they're available. Mind you, it's only 15 minutes after the start time so it may pick up.

On Friday, I was able to take calls. I did two new client intake forms, and I communicated with another person who wanted to have their Post-Sec. diploma certified for CIC - Immigration. Due to the time constraints and the fact he needed it for Tuesday morning, I recommended he'd try to get another lawyer to do it.

I went to the courthouse today to see if I could shine light on a confusing situation. Because of the change in staff over the last year, there are some things that haven't been translated to the next person taking over. I had spent a half hour trying to see if the Ministry of Finance or Ministry of the Attorney General had processed a $19 cheque to have a Divorce Certificate issued. Neither were able to confirm if it had been. After that was revealed, I went to the courthouse directly to see if they had any receipt for that $19, which they did not. After asking some questions, there are three steps that I can take:


  1. Check the Trust account to see if the cheque was processed; if it was, we would need to write another cheque;
  2. Send a letter to the courthouse asking them to do a thorough search; and
  3. If the cheque wasn't processed, and the courthouse has found nothing, then we would need to cancel the cheque and write another one.
