A New Adventure

So..............for those of you who might have forgotten, today was the first day of my new job. I have to tell you it was a pretty good day. The morning went well as far as getting out of the house. No major disasters, spills or crises with the kids. I made it out the door and to work calm cool and collected! I spent four hours at work today (remember this is only a part time job) getting a taste of the job I will be doing. Over all I am going to love this job. I have only one fear and it could send me in to tea sipping oblivion. Alot of what I will be doing involves alot of excel programs. I want to start running to the tea kettle now, turn it on and drink endless cups of tea! I have not really worked in excel before and I believe my kids know more about computers than I do. I realize however if I am going to succeed at this job, I will need to conquer my fear of excel. I am thinking I need to head to Tar*get and buy an electric kettle and pick up a box of tea bags, milk and sugar and take them into the office starting tomorrow. I think its the only way I a will survive. My co-workers are not (as of yet) tea snobs and they drink coffee. Ok any words of support or encouragement would be appreciated about now. Better yet send tea bags, I'll be going through alot of them.

Off to fix another cup of tea right now. My second since coming home from work less than an hour ago. What does that tell you?
