...starts tomorrow morning. Two years ago I started working for this company and I returned home crying the first day. You guys were so supportive then. Now I am staying with the same company but on a new location; new job, new people, etc. I just wanted to start a thread and keep it going for a few days; I need your support. Please send good vibes my way!

Remember, you don't just "deserve" this - you EARNED it. You have worked hard the last 2 years, increasing your skills and your confidence. You interviewed for this position and they picked you because they see it. Take a few deep breaths, remember how scary this last job seemed on the first day, and how easy it seemed on the last day. And know that the pattern will repeat.

I'm sure you'll do fine. You are already looking at it in the best light; you've already been there once and proven to yourself that you can overcome any stresses & concerns. No reason to doubt yourself this time either!

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Good for you, Ava! You're gaining confidence as well as skills. That's the way to reach your goals and you're doing beautifully. We're here for you when you need to vent, or ask questions, or brag a bit! I especially like it when folks can brag a bit about their accomplishments! Go get 'em!

Thanks everyone. The first day went well, specially because this time around I didn't expect to learn everything on the first day. The other people seem nice. The manager is a little too much; he moves fast, he talks fast, etc. But I liked him. He's very down to earth and easy going. Looking forward to tomorrow! I have a lot to learn, for sure, but I'll get there. Thanks for being there for me!

Yay Ava! I'm so glad today went well, and that you are more relaxed this time around!
I hope it was less scary this time too!
I came on here too late. If I'd been on before your latest post, I would have said, Ava, don't worry, you've done it before, and you can do it again! Now I have to say, See, Ava?! You did it!
I'm glad you like your new boss, and I hope you'll be very happy in your new job! I'm sure you will enjoy the raise and the much-shorter commute too!

Wow, Ava has it really been two years? I remember your posts then. You have come a long way! Shanendoah is absolutely right. You have EARNED this! Good vibes headed your way, but you don't need them. You are going to continue to do great!

Ava, nothing to worry about -- "you've GOT this".
Go get 'em, girl!!!!
P.S. I'm with the others -- I can't believe you've been at the old job for almost 2 years now. Wow!!! Time flies.

You have made tremendous strides in your self confidence in that short time. Congrats on the new job and I am glad things are going well.
