I just found out that I have a new job. I thought I was in wayyy over my head even getting interviewed for it initially, and posted a couple of times about the process. Thanks to those who took the time to encourage me and advise me … I’m excited, nervous, scared and overwhelmed. I start on April 27, and just handed in my two weeks’ notice at my current job from hell. Eeeeek!!! :eek: ---

I can’t remember - did I tell you that I actually contacted them and asked for a do-over, and they said “yes”? Honestly I doubt they could even fairly consider my second attempt - they were probably humoring me - but either way, it made me feel better. 🙂 ---
