So, naturally, with any new job, where you are pretty much training yourself, with help from others here and there, you're going to make some screw ups. Now, at CB&L, had I done that, I would have been humiliated in front of God, Satan, the Peanut Gallery and anyone else on stand-by.
At my new job, everyone is like, "Well, how could you have known, it's no big deal. Just send/make a quick [insert whatever you want, i.e. note, email, phone call] on Monday, no biggie. "Say Whaaaaaaaat?"
Today I even got to use my artistic skills (and therefore my undergrad degree) in assembling some journal cover/frames. You know, color coordinating the mat to the complimentary colors in the journal. I use my flight attendant skills to make people feel comfortable and laugh. I use my paralegal skills to trouble-shoot, and my art skills to frame stuff. I'm officially well-rounded!
I will be sorry to see the Interim Chair go. At first, I was a bit leery about him, couldn't gage his personality, but he's turned out to be pretty much cool. And smart. No wonder he wants to get back to his research (which, by the way, is stuff way over my head, but I understand it on a fundamental level).
