first day jitters

[orangerful]

OMG OMG tomorrow is my first day as a full time library associate. Granted, the first 3 hours of that day will be spent filling out paperwork and such, but still - EEP!

My tummy is already tingling and I'm trying to figure out what I want to wear. I just ordered a bunch of pants from Kohls.com because they didn't have my size in the store, hopefully they fit.

I printed out direction to the branch while I was at work today. Also printed out how to get from Headquarters to the branch, since that is what I'll be doing tomorrow.

I'm filling up my iPod with showtunes right now. I don't know why. Musicals will help me relax and sing and channel...something. I just realized that I don't have my Evita soundtrack...with Madonna...hm...zaubervz, have you seen that lying around at home anymore? I need 'Another Suitcase, Another Hall'!!! So far, I've uploaded the Buffy musical, a bunch of random disney songs, and right now 'Pirates of Penzance' is ripping so I can sing along to my favorite - 'With Cat Like Tread!'. Lordy, did I have a crush on Rex Smith back in the day. Next up, 'Phantom of the Opera', with Michael Crawford of course!!! Haven't listened to that in ages. I also have 'Into the Woods', 'Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum' and 'THe Producers' in the pile in front of me. My iPod will surely reject me after tomorrow but I don't care.

When I got home from work today, jimithingy had purchased the microphone for 'Karaoke Party 4'. He sang the first song, and it looked like fun, so without any alcoholic help, I gave it a try. It really is cool. I pwned 'Uptown Girl'. GOLD RECORD BABY! It actually has quite a lot of songs i know. Lots of new ones and classics and random 80s (take on me!!!) I already want to buy all the older versions just to have the full catalog. hehe.

Okay, I'm going to go rummage thru my clothes and find something nice yet comfy to wear tomorrow.

Hey kiddo- good luck! You'll do great, I mean, this is what you've been doing all along, right? At least at first? What are your hours? Do you finally get a fixed schedule?

Ironically, tomorrow is my first day not working! The job hasn't officially ended, so that I can still get paid when I train whoever replaces me. But I did my best to get the place in order last week so I could take this week off before the whole crazy TA thing starts again next week. So I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.. as I sleep in.. heh..

thanks! the day went well. Though most of it was spent filling out papers and going thru packets of information, only 2 hours actually on the desk doing what I know. I do have a set schedule now - Mon,Weds, and alternating Fri/Sat I am 9-5, and Tues & Thurs I'm 1-9. (Though the sunday schedulers did get to me before I knew I was going full time, so I have 1 or 2 sundays I work each month - but hey, it's time and a half! A nice little bonus to my now regular paycheck!)

Apart from the stuff I know how to do (answering other people's questions) I have a whole other list of responsibilities. I will be doing Storytime and helping to organize some summer reading stuff. Plus bunches more. Though most of it I'm not expected to start quite this second. :)

hope you enjoyed your day off!

:D thanks! Everything went well! Even my iPod cooperated and picked out just the right songs for my ride in...though my throat kind hurts now from singing last night and then this morning in the car *headdesk*

thanks for the wishes! It did go well. I'm going to miss you guys :( But it will be nice to be full time and have a few actual responsibilities. Everyone was really nice too! I'll probably type up a more detailed report later :)
