Today was better than yesterday - I'm starting to figure out how things work around the office, and I'm less nervous of every little thing. I also got to listen to NPR while I worked, which made my day infinitely better.

On the down-side, it seems that as soon as I get home I'm pretty much shot for doing anything else. I'm just not used to having my whole day consumed by one thing. I know that sounds dumb, but keep in mind that I've only ever worked a very occasional 8-hr shift at my old job... and classes may take up a lot of time, but it's not consistent time doing the same thing in the same place for the whole day.

I still like my job, I'm just hoping I bounce back from this soon and am able to go back to being my usual self when it comes to other occupations. So far, I can't concentrate on writing or anytning else intellectual when I get home, and that... vexes me. I'm vexed.

...I also have a final tomorrow. See my concern? Yeah. I probably ought to review for it at some point tonight... :P

Yeah, it'll take some time. I was feeling better about it today than I did yesterday, but there were still some stressful moments. It's a lot to deal with, especially going from a laid-back office where the worst thing that could happen would be that a visiting lecturer's presentation would go wrong. I did more scary-important things yesterday than I did in 4.5 years at CSS. :/

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that they're putting so much faith in me. But it's scary.

But yeah - I think I'll be okay once things settle into a routine. Until then, I'm just trying to pamper myself and stay calm.

Yeah, but remember, if you got it all down on the second or third day, then after a year, you'd be bored stiff. You are totally worthy of all the faith they have put in you, remember that and just do a little better each day. You'll get it. And like you said in a different comment, pamper yourself some each day.
Did you think of where you'd like to eat on Friday? Since it's a Friday, we might want to make reservations if possible.

I'm not sure that many of the places around here really do reservations, and I'd like to stay in this general area, 'cause my friend Amy is having a party later on (later-later) that night that I want to at least drop in on for a bit.

I'll call you tomorrow, maybe? I'm going to have a long bus-ride downtown after work, going out to dinner with Terra, her folks, and the Usual Crew. ;)

That works. I'll talk to you then. Have a great day, ok?
