Manic Monday
I do realise I am writing this on Saturday night, but I am anticipating just how manic my Monday is going to be this week. You see, starting Monday, April 11, 2005, I will be the Managing Editor of the Biomedical Group of Journals. Prestigious sounding, no? And with tht prestige comes a whopping $20.00/week raise. I will try not to spend it all in one place, but I can't make any gaurantees. ;-)
Seriously though, I am excited about it. I've been working there for three and a half years, and was getting pretty desperate for a change. Especially last summer. Things just weren't going very well. This new job promises to be very challenging...I've never really supervised people before...but I think it's a change I really needed.

You're going to be GREAT! Supervising people is definitely a different sort of challenge. And you'll make mistakes - I certainly have :-) The key is to learn from the mistakes, to take everything in stride, and try to keep it all in perspective. You're so ready for this!

You're just anticipating the unknown. I'm sure you'll find that once you're at work on Monday doing the job, it won't be so bad. You're obviously ready for this according to those who hired you (and myself), so just keep doing what you've been doing all along and I know you'll do really well.

Now that "manic Monday" has come and gone, I'll bet you didn't find it too bad at all. I'm proud of you.
