Step 62: Organize Your New Desk

Look! I've got my very own desk! I've never worked someplace where I've had my own desk before. You'll see that Olivar's picture is proudly displayed. I've already had several co-workers call him out on his weight. :) But it's ok because a lot of the librarians in the Children's and Youth Services Department at Carmel Clay Public Library are animal lovers.

I think I'm going to like this new job. Not that I ever go into a job thinking I'm not going to enjoy the work (I'm of the mindset that it's better to take a job that you're interested in over a job that pays more, so I've always applied for positions I think I'll like), but everyone here has been so welcoming and helpful. And it's a position that will keep me close to books while continuing to make a difference in my community.

So my question to you: What's the scariest thing about starting a new job? Surprisingly for this job, it was what to wear! I'm so used to throwing on work jeans and a t-shirt that finding a nice big girl outfit was a real stressor!
And my challenge to you: Put something funny/cute on your desk at work--it's a great way to get conversations started. :)
