Cheers to my baby sister, now officially employed. I'm bracing for the upcoming texts that begin: 'is my manager allowed to —'

New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
You spent years watching me complain about work. Now it's your turn to complain. I'll listen better than I did when you were ten.
First job, my sister. May your colleagues be kind, your boss be human, and your imposter syndrome quieter than mine ever was.
To the sister who's about to learn what taxes actually take — welcome. Nobody warned me either. We'll figure it out together.
You got hired. Of course you did. The world finally caught up with what the family has known about you all along.
Congratulations, sis. Take the photo on day one. You'll want it later, when the role's grown and you've forgotten how small the start felt.

More from today
Wishing my sister a first job that teaches her everything — including, eventually, the importance of leaving when it stops teaching.
You're earning your own money now. May you spend it on things that matter, save what you can, and treat me sometimes.
To my sister on day one — go be the brilliant, slightly stubborn, infuriatingly capable person we've watched you become at home.
First-job nerves are a rite of passage. By Friday they'll fade. By month two you'll be advising the new hires. I promise.
My sister, the working woman. Strange phrase to say out loud — but it suits you. Suits you better than it did me, probably.
Cheers to my sister joining the workforce — finally giving me someone in the family to compare salary frustrations with honestly.
Welcome to professional life, sis. The first week will feel like a foreign language. By the third, you'll be speaking it fluently.
To my sister's first paycheck — may the second one shock you with how fast the rent finds it. Welcome to adulthood, properly.
You earned this. The interviews, the nerves, the outfit decisions — all worth it. Now go enjoy being the person who got picked.
Wishing my sister a first job that pays fairly, treats her well, and doesn't teach her any of the bad lessons I learned first.
To the sister who used to follow me to school — now walking through her own front door of her own office. Wild. Beautiful.
Congratulations, sis. Day one is the hardest. After that it's just figuring out the printer, the coffee, and which colleagues to avoid.
You're starting strong because you've always been strong. The job's just the first place outside the family that gets to see it.
My sister has a job. Saying it twice because it still feels surreal. Proud doesn't quite cover it. Older-sibling-stunned might.
To your first day — wear something that makes you feel competent, not just professional. The difference matters more than HR admits.
Cheers to the sister who didn't settle for the first offer, held out for the right one, and walked in knowing her worth.
Wishing my sister mentors who listen, deadlines that respect her sleep, and a kitchen at work where someone refills the kettle without being asked.
You used to ask me what work was like. Now you'll teach me what your version of it looks like. Looking forward to learning.
Day-one congratulations, sis. May you keep the enthusiasm of week one alive somewhere quietly — even when month nine tries to drain it.
