i'm back after an absence; i've been working on a bunch of stuff because Cohost is shutting down at the end of the month.

the result: i have a website now, and i'm porting over my essays and running my union blog out of that. i have an RSS feed that works for both, as far as i can tell. things seem like they're calming down now so hopefully i'll be able to be around more for the remainder of this month

Landed a job last week!! 😊☺️😊

Getting everything ready now to start October 1st. I'm excited but a little anxious at the same time. Impostor syndrome is a bitch.

Gonna try to enjoy the coming 2 weeks until work starts. I'm starting a D&D campaign on Sunday, really excited about that.

Congrats! I know what you mean about the imposter syndrome. I just started a new job, and was super worried. But having got here, seeing the work, doing it, I'm like, "why was I even worried?" I'm sure there'll be something new, but given that the "base job," is familiar, I have confidence I'll be OK. And I'm sure the same will apply to you.

Enjoy your time off. I took 4 weeks off. I miss it already 😭

Thanks for the advice. I know if I'll just give it some time I'll feel better, so I just have to wait it out tbh 😅

Impostor syndrome is a bitch

Yes it is, but look - onboarding at a new place is always tough. I’m assuming you didn’t lie and your resumè isn’t completely full of shit; you’ll do great. Bring in the knowledge you hold from your previous experience, and be willing to learn from your new employer, and you’ll rock out. You can handle this for sure.
