Tomorrow I start my NEW JOB. The NEW JOB I posted about nearly 3 weeks ago. It was a long long process to get this NEW JOB – I submitted my resume in February, did some testing for it in March, was called in for an interview in early April, then 2 weeks later was called to provide 3 references. 3 weeks ago they called me asking me when I could start. Yay!
I’ve wanted this NEW JOB for a long, long, long time. I have the education, I have the experience and the work ethic. I can do this. I feel like I’ve FINALLY made it!
But I’m scared freaking shitless.
I have “Buyers Remorse” (and those of who know what I do for a living will understand that play on words). I feel a bit guilty for leaving my old job, and nervous about the unknown in my NEW JOB.
Will I be able to do it? Will I like it? Is it what I truly want? Will I like my employer? Will I get along with my co-workers? Can I cope with a longer commute? Will my truck cope with the longer commute? How will my kids adapt to having daddy do the morning daycare drop-off?
I guess only time will tell and it’s too late to go back, but that doesn’t stop me from still feeling nervous!
Help me, hold my hand and wish me well – can I do this? Am I doing the right thing?

You’ll do fine! The kids will adjust. You are just going through the “New Job jitters”.
Yeah, what Mike said. You will do fine. I have faith in you.

I`m terrified to start working too. So much so that I haven`t written a resume. It`s hard to write a resume without any relevant work experience.
The long commmute won`t be fun but this is the next step in your career and you`ll be challenged more. And of course your co-workers will love you!

CONGRATS girl! I’s so happy it all worked out and you will do fabulous! I remember something you said to me when you took the job you were leaving — way back then and I’m glad you’re movin’ on up in the business world!!
Oh my goodness girlfriend. You will do AMAZING. DO NOT second guess yourself, believe in yourself. When you look back at your life at ninety you’ll be so glad you did this…you’re trying….Bravo. Hugs too.

Sounds like a little case of cold feet, which I’m sure is just a temporary state.
