Writing to reach you

6 comments
First lines are always the hardest, right? I hope this gets easier as it goes along. For someone who is scared of the blank page, this is quite an undertaking. I have a facebook and a myspace page, so I have done similar things before, but this is... different. Plus I used the standard template for those. For facebook or myspace you never know if anyone is actually going to read it, you're sending words out into the ether. But with this, it's for something and you know a cast of your peers are ready and waiting in the wings to comment.

So, the 23 things programme. I suppose I joined because I like to take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way; I'm on the Springboard course and have done several other of the Cambridge University courses. I'm always on the hunt for new skills and chances to progress. However I also want to integrate myself into the wider community, amongst other Cambridge librarians. I have only been in the job, and the profession, a year and a few months, but I feel I have sufficiently found my feet now (after a few wobbles) and finally feel grounded enough to look up and around at the broader landscape. As metaphors go, I'm not sure how well that works, I hope you understand what I'm on about. That's a great way to end a post I reckon.

Oh and yes, I am a big Travis fan.
