I went this morning to the university to fill out the HR forms, etc. I was shown my office and introduced to some of the people I'll be working with. The feel of this place is quiet and subdued. That's a huge change from where I was working before with the screaming and cussing and drama. The vibe of the place just 'feels' different. And my office is out of the main drag (before I was up front and got hit with a lot of problems that had nothing to do with me). Until I left HR and the woman said 'Welcome' it had all felt a little unreal. It's starting to feel real.
My new boss (she was one of the people I interviewed with) told me that when I left the interview that she told the other woman 'I want her for this job' and the other woman agreed. After months of my ego taking it in the teeth on a regular basis, a little ego stroke felt nice.
And yeah, TLight...I plan on taking it easy and not pushing myself. I learned my lesson.
