keep kristin from panicking challenge!

[kristin]

people, i start a new job tomorrow and i am psyching myself out about it to the point of full blown panic attacks.


1. walked the dog
2. ran on the treadmill for an hour
3. made ten new icons
4. started and stopped watching episodes of: arrested development, the wire, merlin and supernatural. (my attention span, not so great at this particular moment.)
5. read the newspaper
6. come up with an alternate plan to employment. (it involves winning the lottery and buying a house on the maine coast.
8. done the crossword


i was able to accomplish all this by waking up around 4:30 a.m. (after going to sleep around 1:30 a.m.) the thing is, i am running out of distractions.

things i need: encouragement that i will be fine at my new job, and that my coworkers won't hate me. distractions

therefore i am inaugurating a meme:

give me a word of encouragement, advice on how to present myself, or a hug. in return, i will make you an icon, upload a song for you or write you a drabble, possibly all three. feel free to specify which you want.

fandoms available: pushing daisies, psych, the wire, the west wing, entourage, sports night, arrested development, doctor who, the sarah jane adventures or merlin. oh, who am i kidding, request any fandom and i will try figure something out.

My best advice for starting a new job is along the lines of "fake it 'til you make it." Pretend that you are someone who knows exactly what she's doing--I generally went with C.J. Cregg in my personal imagination--and it'll work out fine. You seem pretty smart and together, so I'm pretty sure that you won't have to pretend too hard. Remember: they hired you, so that means they already like you!

I like songs! If you feel so moved, upload me a random song. Something energizing.

i have three songs for you, all energizing, as i wasn't sure what kind of music you like:
magnificent - estelle (http://www.sendspace.com/file/t8chdo)
chaiyya chaiyya (http://www.sendspace.com/file/uaqc8s)
go go gadget flow - lupe fiasco (http://www.sendspace.com/file/uvwb0t) (see icon)
