I start a new job on Monday

They called on Friday with an offer and I said yes right away. It has been weighing on me all week. I am relieved and a bit nervous.

That is wonderful news. Keep applying for a little while if you have not signed, it is a good habit.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 6 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
