Change
So, I am going to start working for a new company on the 18th. An old professor of mine took over as vp of this company a few months ago and contacted me about a position opening- wanting me to come interview for it. So I did, and I got it. I put my notice in at my current job and now am waiting to start my new one. I am EXTREMELY nervous about it. I have a lot of anxiety over it. I am excited and I think it is the right move, but what if I don’t meet up to their expectations? What if I can’t do it? What if everyone hates me? What if I don’t mesh with the company? Whatifwhatifwhatif? I think the thing that has pushed me over the edge of anxiety is that I just got off the phone with my soon to be boss and he has informed me that Monday morning, the 18th, my first day, I will be flying to Chicago at 11AM with three other people for four days. I knew I would be going there for a few days, but I didn’t realize it would be on my FIRST day. Now, I will have to not only work with people I do not know yet, but I will have to socialize too. What if I suddenly lose my social skills? It could happen. On the positive side, usually when you go away on trips with people you don’t know, you always come back knowing them. Anyway, I know everything will be fine, but, I tell you, I am really ready for the first 2 weeks of the job to be over. Those are usually the hardest. I had forgotten how nerve-racking it is starting a new job
