I start June 21. I'm trying not to think of this as "I start not being a librarian on June 21--I'll always be a librarian. And it's not a bad job. I'll be processing paperwork and working with nursing home residents who need help paying for their health care (Medicare, etc.) The hard part will be when rules require me to deny their requests. There will be tons of paperwork--up to 5 years' history on each person. And I will be trained on computer software, and on other things (one training will take 3 weeks, in Baltimore).
I talked with my new boss for a while the other day--she seems nice, and easy to talk with. I'm wondering when I should tell her about our adoption situation: "Oh, yeah, not only am I eager to get back to library work, but I might become a mom and need three months' family leave on as little as two days' notice."
But it will all work out somehow. I've got so much experience from my years of work (and unemployment, and freelancing, and dealing with difficult bosses/coworkers/customers). And I have so much support from family and friends. ::hugs you all::
