I heard that on the radio a bit ago.

Sweet baby. At least now, she's safe, loved and in no more pain.

The killers will pay.

You can't go starless in here without someone upgrading you. Last time I did LittlePixie upgraded me, and I had a full years worth of karma to use. You guys are sweet.

Lol, I already like this boss lady! I can understand the fear. It's always scary to start a new job, but in your case you've been at the same job for so long that I'm sure the fear is tenfold.

Do your best to not worry about your anxiety being an obstacle if you would take this job. You are aware of it, you are addressing it, and you have vocal support all around you. It will improve over time because you are actively working on it. Plus, you know how to do your job and this woman is clearly aware of your capabilities if she's ready to hire you today after one conversation. She's even willing to break the rule about hiring from a competitor! This woman believes in you, so believe in yourself.

That all being said, the question isn't whether you can do it, but if you want to do it. Don't let them rush you, take whatever time you need to make your decision. Make a pros/cons list for each option, that might give you a visual. Think of any other questions you might have to help you decide. Perhaps talk to others in the industry you can trust to get their insight on this place as an employer. And don't disregard your gut.

However it turns out, I think this is so exciting for you!

I sure hope so :(

From the way it has sounded at times, how your boss takes advantage of you and is so difficult, and how stressed it sounds when you talk about your job...you have very little to lose and a LOT to gain from making this change. I wonder if some of your insecurity stems from knowing deep down that you are worth more than the current job gives, but have been stuck at it so long you are starting to question your worth.

You got this!!!!!!!!!!! Hint - don't keep approaching it wondering what could go wrong. Start imagining what can go right!!! Less stress, better working conditions, better pay & benefits, actually enjoying going to work for a change...that's a good way to reduce anxiety right there!!!
Big virtual hug here...cheering you on!!!!

Appreciate you granny! And I do think a lot of my anxiety and insecurities come from my current job. It's truly like an abusive relationship. Where you know you need to get out of it, but you're afraid to make your escape.

I used to be a lot stronger than the wimp I have become. The lion is still buried inside of me though, and I think I'm ready to roar.

:)

From my managing experience I have a few more practical tips for you in that respect, but since I already wrote a book here, I will put those in a private message later if you like?

I sure hope so :(

Don't worry about it! I still have karma, just haven't done it yet.


thank you though
