Yay!! Congratulations!

I can understand you feeling worried after what you've just been
through, but the chances of this place being the hellhole your prior
job was are pretty slim. I'm really glad to hear you won't have to
do collections - ugh! Or selling - more ugh!! Leaving messages doesn't
sound too bad, and since you'll be making the calls, you can prepare
for them ahead of time.

Good luck, I hope you enjoy it! Or at least, make enough to pay your
bills.

I'm full of more trepidation than excitement. Praying fervently that
this won't be another cesspool like that bank job. There'll be phones
involved, but at least I can control them; doing outbound stuff leaving
messages for the lawyers. I was told 72 times that there would be no
selling, collecting, or other similar obnoxiousness involved, just
playing messenger and hoping to God someone does not shoot me like in
some trashy Western they show late at night on independent channels
because even infomerials don't want the airtime. It's late; what the
devil am I saying? I wish I were younger and had more excitement about
this. Now I'm going in with a jaded eye I shouldn't have, and too damn
much worry. Someone please tell me I have nothing to worry about! Tell
me I'm competent; tell me I'm under 40, for Godsake!

There. This concludes my crazy talk for today. Tomorrow's crazy talk
will start at noon, when I punch it at this law firm. Maybe I'll do some
good in the world and rope in a few deadbeat parents or something.

Blessed be,
Baha


Baha, you're young, you're competent, and you're gutsy enough to handle
anything. For gosh sakes, you're a New Yorker! Now, go get 'em! And
post an update about your first day at work. BEST of luck to you. You
deserve it.

That's what I was hoping too. Good luck tomorrow. Can't start
worrying yet you know, since all jobs have a honeymoon period.
