Turning a new page

So, as some of you may or may not know... I have a new job!

Yep, starting tomorrow at the Department of Planning as a GIS ... something or other - I'm not sure what my exact title is yet...! And as with most of my endeavours I'm trying to quell that performance anxiety that I can feel quietly, but surely, rising in the back of my consciousness (to the effect that I've just said yes to a 5:30am boot camp session tomorrow morning!). The logical part of my mind counters, saying "It'll all be OK - you will do fine, and in all likelihood better than fine". So, stepping into the spirit of adventure: hello to the unknown!

Inevitably, I will be leaving the library officer realm to enter that of the library patron... Whilst I'm sad to leave all the wonderful people I've met and come to know as colleagues and friends, I am looking forward to seeing things from the 'other side' of the counter... Watch this space for feedback & ideas! But as a send-off I would like to say a big huge thank you to all the staff at Cockburn Libraries for their support and all the kindnesses shown to me over the past couple of years. Here's to all of you! All the best :)

  1. I'm sad to see you go but I'm also glad that you've got a job in your trained field. I'm sure you'll do really well. Best wishes.
    Ps It's much easier saying goodbye here than cramming something in on one of those farewell cards sent from everyone. Clive
