Tomorrow I start work at the uni. bookstore. It will be full time for three weeks, and then just a few hours at work study, which is fine.

I'm nervous about it. I know I'll be fine, I just get anxious. School starts in a week. I'm waiting to hear from another job. I'm on my own for the first time....

there's just so much going on. And it's all good - things are going to work out, I just can't get rid of the nerves. I've been on a walk, tried to distract myself and I'm trying t avoid mindless eating.

ugh. it helps to talk about it, but no one is around. so keep me company and give me advice, please

Best of luck with the new job! Can you visit MUT while you work?

Congratulations,Jill!!! You'll do great!!!

You'll be fine Jill *big hug* It's normal to feel anxious, but you will be ok! Once you're in there and get yourself into the work, you'll have forgotten all about your jitters!

[Dreama]

Yep, Bec is right. Once you start working you'll totally forget about the jitters. You'll do great.

[Anthea]

You will be fine Jill

Congrats on the job! I'm sure it'll be great

I hope that your first day is going great! I worked at my college's bookstore and it can really be a lot of fun if your boss isn't a tyrannical nut job.

Post back and let us know how it goes.

I bet!! I really don't miss working book rush at all. If your bookstore is anything like ours it will really slow down once that is over with.
