Adjusting
>> Monday, June 23, 2008
I'm not sure yet how I feel about my new job. There's definitely a part of my brain crying "What have I done?" I assume this is normal and that once I settle in and actually know what I'm doing and how to do it I'll be okay. I'm also feeling lonely. It seems I relied on work for a good part of my social interaction and I'm missing it badly.
Actually, I'm feeling pretty down. I need to find some new hobbies and interests. I need to get a life. There are some pretty pathetic things going through my head that I can't quite bring myself to record here on the Internet, so I think I'd better sign off for now. Peace out.

This just happened to me. I started a new job and realized my old job held so much of my identity that I felt .... lost, alone etc. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I did. My comment is: it gets better. Nine months later it's competely different. I have the hang of my job and guess what ... I'm just as good at it as my other job. I have new relationships in my new company and things are going well. You can do this! It's tough at first, but hang in there. It's YOU that made things great at your other company, not your job.
You can take the peace out all you want! I think it is hysterical.
We all have our days where we feel the way you are feeling today. It will get better!
It's perfectly normal to second guess a decision like that. It's all new to you, in no time, it'll be second nature!!
