So. Nervous.

Because of a stupid Monday morning meeting, I don’t get to start my new job until noon today. Which means I have another hour to chill out before I have to leave.

Of course, while I’m waiting, I get an interview for a job at a college… It’s a religious college and a member of Hockey East, so there’s some internal conflict there. But the job was good based on the description in the ad.

And now I’m worrying about whether or not I’m passing up the perfect job to take a perfect job that isn’t.

I know this is going to be fine. I know I can make it fine.

I mean, I passed the pop quiz at lunch, so it’s not like I don’t know what I’m doing. I’ve proven to him that I’m smarter than the political hire. I make him laugh. He makes me laugh. He didn’t try to impress me with a hockey puck.

Therein lies the rub. I went for a job and got let go within a month because I was a terrible fit. They hired someone and let them go within a month because that person was a terrible fit.

Please, universe, don’t let that happen again.

I don’t think I can take it if it happens again…
