I got laid off around Halloween 2020 and, at the time, took it as an opportunity to spend time with family and take some much needed time off. I spent too much time off, enjoying myself, but I started to get more and more out of shape and worried about an inability to work well when I went back. Couple that with a nightmare of a living situation between April and June, and I couldn't even eat properly. But I'm in a new living situation now, and had a job interview last week (my first proper interview in years!) and crushed it! 

I'm starting tomorrow morning and, as expected, my stomach is in knots, I can't eat, my mind is going a million kilometres a second, and I doubt I'll sleep much tonight. But, I had the wherewithal to make myself lunches before I was rendered useless for the night. Of course, all the usual worries are still going through my head: what if I'm so useless I get fired day 1, what if their expectations are too high on me, what if my boss and coworkers are complete monsters, etc. 

No real point to this post, I just feel like I'm making some progress and wanted to share with people who can relate. I'm sure tomorrow morning will be even more terror inducing but hey, we're making progress.
