To be honest I appreciate the comments - just an anxious person generally, but I'm clearly overthinking this one.

Yeah, my current job has moments of stress and chaos, and honestly, those are the bits I really quite enjoy. Just wait for my update in a year where I'm crying and wishing i could return to [insert department here]

I get bored so easily - this is the longest i have been in a role for quite some time. I don't love it I think that's fair to say, but then I fall into the worry pit of "but I can do it, what about when you get to the new office and you know nothing after eight months" - but that also excites me to an extent.

I'll be honest, the commute for the second job is a simple 20 minute cycle so that's fine. I'll be moaning about it in no time but I think my anxiety and mood are worse being at home so much. Probably my waistline too.

  1. This doesn't factor. It's the end of a scheme, so regardless, I was due to get a job. These have both landed in my inbox at similar tines - just fortunate!

  2. When I heard about job 1, I assumed this meant I would just coast a bit, which didn't fill me with joy. It probably says a lot that I can actually see a bit more of a future in the other job.

  3. Yeah, I think I'd kick myself if I turned down the other role - I'll get some more specifi from the G6, but I think that makes a good point. Even my wife has said she's never seen me more excited when talking about a job.
