This is the process.
Two weeks ago on Friday: phone call out of the blue with job offer. Very excited!
Try to weigh pros and cons, but just excited!
Accept job on Monday.
Monday night: anxiety and regret.
Tuesday onwards: think it's a good decision regardless of the mixed feelings. Looking forward to some things, sad about others.
Spend the week emotionally flipping back and forth, because still getting used to the idea. Randomly cry at TV commercial for funerals, story on A Current Affair about baby with 2 faces and 2 brains, and while telling people I'm leaving. Lots of tension in neck. I think that was there before the job offer though. And it's too muggy at night to sleep well.
Telling people quietly that I have a job offer, but since it's pending official approval, holding off on big announcements. And it's good to let some people know personally anyway, hearing on the grapevine can be hurtful.
And now it's going ahead, it's out there, and it's all about the logistics.
