New job jitters

July 21st, 2014 at 02:02 am

HI all,

New job jitters. I start tomorrow.I should know 3 people there already.. none were super great friends but 'work friends' (all guys. I want some girl friends! to laugh and joke with ).. I have to dress dressy business casual for this job and drive (just looked it up).. FORTY miles each way.

REALLY wishing those work at home job worked out and wondering if I should have held out for one.. having regrets.. second thoughts based on the drive and dressing up. I have not had to do either in possibly 6 years..

So NEW change.

HOPE it is not as bad as i am working it up to be in my mind. JHearing about those (seemingly GOLDEN) work at homes jobs really changed my perspective... sortof like when a salesman shows you something you fall in love with and then find out you can not afford.

Anyway.. onward.. I will leave an hour and half early tomorrow but normal drive should take 45-50 minutes.. some guy I know lives out here too so I will ask him his route.

Hoping to start flex time asap so I can get their early and leave early.

I CAN NOT WAIT until I am not so tied into making as much money as I can .. just want these 6 homes to smooth out and then eventually get paid off and everything else to smooth out too. It did not appear difficult to make $100k or $50 hr with work at home or Naperville jobs.. just do not want to take that drop right now.

Should hear on loan tommorrow (in writing)and possibly the 2nd chance $60/work at home job..

Afraid I will ahve much less freedom and flexibility and time with this job I took.

MAJOR pre job second guessing happening over here.

I am starting either Atkins or hte Wheat Belly diet tomorrow to drop 10 lbs and resuming working out. I drop weight easily but have not been working out at all. Working out MAJORLY helps my stress and confidence.. I never did gain the weight back I lost on Atkins (4 lbs) but want to have these slacks fit looser again.

Prayers that the loan and 6 homes work out quikly this week.. TOO MUCH going on!!

I am still actively looking for work trying to mail down a work at home job.. if I suddenly fall in love w this job I have I will stay but until them seeking nearer and work at home

Will start looking at cars.. Honda, Toyota or Nissan Altima to start figuring out the car decision. (used)

    Good luck! I'm sure everything will go great! Remember, one of the reasons you took this job was for some personal interaction (girlfriends, laughing with coworkers). You won't have that working at home. So it's a trade off with the driving time. There is definitely some value in that. Something to look forward to every day. One day at a time!

    I hope it is a great first day for you! I agree with Bluebird, one day at a time.

    Everyone feels jitters starting a new job. I'm sure you'll feel much better once you have a day under your belt!

    I'm a bit nervous about my new job too. I hope all goes well.
