Welcome to my web log! This is inspired by my sister-in-law, Kylene. She was the first one to get in the act. It sounded like a good idea to me. . .

My new job

After two weeks of training in my replacement, I'm finally ready to move to my new position in Academic Affairs.  I'm excited and a little nervous.  Spending days teaching someone my old job reminded me of how far I had come since starting.  Now I'm asking myself what in the world I was thinking.  I don't have any idea how to do my new job!
 
I sat at my new desk today trying to figure out what was on the files and doing myself to reply to folks in an intelligent way when they stopped by.  If someone drops off something, I thank them and pretend like I know exactly what to do with whatever it is they just gave me.  Once they are gone, I frantically search my files for some clue to tell me my next step.  It's exciting and humbling at the same time!
 
I look forward to the day when I show up to work and I know exactly what I'll have to do that day.  I wonder how many of those days I'll actually have.

I remember those days! I got in and all the files had different acronyms on them instead of actual names. I was so confused. Plus there was the thing about not actually having anyone who had worked there (other than Dr. McC's kids) for about 6 months before I got there. Piles and piles and piles of surveys!

It'll get better! You're already venturing into areas I've never touched! I believe in you!!

I think I know you better than even your husband, and I am comfident that if you remain humble and teachable you will not only learn that job quickly but you will be able to become the first woman president of Crown.
Don't tell Nathan I love you or he may get jealous and won't fix my computer anymore.
