So I'm starting my job today. Alas, this may mean the end of leisure time for fiddling around with a blog. Or it may mean even more need to vent than ever before. Happily, for my first day, Christine will be orienting me. It will be just like nursing school all over again--without the professors, of course, or the locked psych ward (hopefully).

Kathleen advised me to focus my anxiety on my family and how they will cope rather than on the job and how I will cope. Her thinking was that even if I kill someone at work, I'll still have a warm home and a family who loves me..Kathleen can be perversely comforting at times.
