Week 2, Thing 2, Post 1


Welcome to Jan's Desk. As I type my first post on my first blog - perhaps I should say my only post on my only blog, thus being the case here and now - the view from my desk (out the window, not into John's office) is readily improving. The total cloud cover is showing signs of dispersing and I'm catching glimpses of sunshine. A glorious Friday, indeed.

There's a lot going on at Jan's Desk, but only on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I am providing minimal Jan's Desk coverage on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please plan ahead with me, or see my student assistant, Brittany, for any support she might provide at Jan's Desk. Brittany is here from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. both days.

Although I miss my time with all of you, I am getting in the groove of my internship. It is a challenge for me to stay away from the secretarial work at the health department. It feels a little safer than assuming my new role and responsibilites as counselor there. As I become more comfortable as counselor on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I will do my best to keep diagnosing and treatment limited to those days.
