Bionic Teutonic

Lots of things going on these days. I’ve just started a new job, which is step two of the changes I wanted to make in my life this year (the first being moving in city). The job is going to be a change. It’s enough of a pay jump that I think I’ll be able to save enough to go back to school in a few years without going massively in debt or having to eat top ramen. It’s also going to be a lot busier than I’ve been used to. I have a target number of billable hours per week that I need to hit, which means no slacking. I’m feeling good about it now though. After having a few days to get my bearings, I feel like while I have a lot to learn, the job is very doable. Oddly, after I got the job offer and before I started, I got really nervous and sort of panicked about leaving Speakeasy. I convinced myself somehow that they were going to find something in my background check they didn’t like or somehow decide that they had changed their mind and no longer wanted me for some reason. Rationally, I knew everything was going to be fine and that I already had the job, but somehow I was feeling a bit like I was a fraud. It was one of those things where you feel like you are play-acting the role of a grown-up and that someone at some point is going to go ‘Hey wait a minute! They just a kid pretending to be a responsible adult!’ The emperor wears no clothes.
