    Fabulous news, enjoy your break knowing you don't have much more time to do.

    Yes you can do paperwork.   Once you are in, trained in what to do and going there every day you'll be on top of the paperwork because its your job so you just have to be.  My desk at work was always neat, drawers tidy and things always returned to their places - not how I lived at home cos at home there was no boss, no job description, no one checking further down the line that I had done my part of the work flow!!  Work and home are two very different mindsets, environments, patterns etc.  Youll be grand, dont spoil your excitement by starting to make up things to worry about  😀
