I realized that I miss blogging. Even though something about the hobby still smacks of tween angst in my mind, for this blog I am hoping to write posts that are suited to the life and musings of a cool, young professional, like one of the characters in How I Met Your Mother. (Especially Barney. No one is cooler than Barney.) First, though, I need to overcome the tween that is still in my system.Being the youngest person at my work, in addition to being new and needing to ask countless questions of my more experienced co-workers, has made me feel and act like an embarrassed middle-school student. I shuffle my feet and apologize profusely when I have to ask the senior Editorial Assistant for tips on Microsoft Outlook. I know this will change over time, as I become more familiar with my everyday tasks--navigating the databases, getting the copiers to cooperate, and working the fax machine (I haven't done this one yet...eep!). I just hope that familiarity comes soon, and that it translates into the confidence of a successful, working woman. This middle-school routine is old news.
