New Year, New Job

So the new year is supposed to bring about new adventures, right? I have decided to leave my job as a teacher aide and take a position at NYS. I'm still not 100% sure I made the right decision because I absolutely love my job at the school. It was the first job I ever had that I actually looked forward to going to work each day. The students were fun and it was giving me plenty of experience for when I (hopefully) get a job as a school counselor. The only downside to my job was that the pay sucks and if I ever had any goal of building an independent life for myself, I needed a job that paid better. This new job will give me plenty of opportunities to move up in a company that offers great benefits and hopefully a future retirement!

I got super lucky getting a job at the State because, as most of you know, the job market sucks and they really aren't hiring. Although I am sad about leaving my students behind, I am excited for my future because more cash means more opportunities to have adventures and new experiences. I start my new job next Monday and I've already started browsing at all the fun desk accessories I can buy to decorate my cubicle. If I'm going to be stuck at my desk all day, the least I can do is make it fun and relaxing to be in, right?! I want to invest in plenty of bright colored accessories to make my move from school to office a little more cheery. Obviously my favorite place in the world, Pottery Barn Teen, has plenty of great desk organization pieces that I have my eye on....

This Preppy Paper Desk Accessories Set is definitely on my radar. However, that magazine holder will probably hold important papers rather than fashion magazines...sigh... but how cute is that polka dot print?

This tack-board will be perfect for posting important memos, plus a couple pictures of Misa!

Where do you recommend I look for cute office supplies and desk accessories?
