Yesterday was my first trip to Guysborough. I picked up a few copies of the paper, and checked out the office and the town. It's a beautiful place. The office looks right out on the Bay, and I bet it's even more stunning in the summer.
The pub next door is pink and apparently fabulous. And, the guy who owns it flies in a few times a year on his float plane. How cool is that?
And there's a bakery. It smells so good. James and I went there for lunch, and it may be hard to not eat there every day. We even met Aldona, who seems to be one of the pillars of the town.
I didn't get to the Wonder Store, which is apparently the other 'place to be.' I'll have to go there for a cup of tea on my next visit.
As for the job itself, I'm very excited. And very nervous. It's a fabulous opportunity and I look forward to getting tied into the community, but it's a big change! Am I ready to be an adult--with a salary, health plan, car payments, and the like? I know I'll get used to it, but I think it's OK to be a little bit nervous.
I'm so excited to work on the website. I mean, I look forward to writing and lay out and all of those goodies too, but I feel like I can make the website my own, while the other aspects of the paper have been tweaked by many people who did a very good job.
So, it's time to sign off. I plan to look at cars today, and start cramming about Guysborough --the town and the county. I want to be ready to write my first story, and I want to do it justice. For a small, independent paper, the Journal is putting out some high quality stuff, and I don't want to disappoint.
