[Quiet Man Cometh]

I am the shepherd and warden, standing at the gate leading to realms of archaic, confounding, and ever shifting lore where intricate rituals are prepared and cast to obtain for people that which they desire. The people that perform these rituals are mentally formidable and unstable, and I am their voice. If you would seek audience with them, you must first speak with me. If they deign to speak with you, then it is through me that you will hear about it, and I will inform you of the required merits, tithes, reagents, and personal sacrifices required for your audience to be fruitful. I am also the messenger, conveying cryptic and arcane tomes back and forth between such houses of ritual and their sequestered peers.

(Anyone care to hazard a guess?)

A... secretary, of some sort? xD

[Coda]

A secretary for a law firm, specifically, or such would be my guess.

Legal assistant, primarily for conveyancing but some criminal law. Of the two, coneyancing is worse for stress, deadlines, and the overall desire to throttle people and institutions while trying to get required information and documents so we can make the other required documents and get someone their house. On top of that, most people don't actually understand how it works and what's involved so we get gripes about cost and questions about what people are actually paying us for. Whoops, the bank made a typo on the mortgage document? Do it again. Oh dear, the purchaser wants to change the closing date. Re-do everything. There's a lien on this property no one told us about... yeah.

Some tips for future dealings in real estate (for British Columbia anyway).

1. NEVER let your ID expire.
2. Keep 2 pieces of ID, preferably with the same name.
3. Don't leave town in the middle of your transaction.
4. Leave as much time for the transaction as you possible can.
5. No, really, don't leave town.

I take it people leave town a lot. ^^;

Not quite, but it's kind of a big headache when they do.
