First Day Jitters...

Just over three weeks ago, I walked out of my office for the last time.

Some people have asked me if it was hard to leave. The answer isn't a simple yes or no. It was hard to leave certain people. I was very comfortable with what I was doing... I mean, I can put together the entire case in an oppressed minority shareholder dispute in my sleep at this point. And it's never easy to leave what's familiar and start over again somewhere new.

But that's what I'm about to do.

Today I actually have to set the alarm. Dress in something other than the sweats I've been bumming around in since my surgery. Because today I start my new job...at the new office...in a new area of the law...

And I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm nervous as hell about it.

Ultimately, I know it's the best thing for me... But still, wish me luck.

It's hard leaving something you are comfortable doing. And good coworkers. That's what I struggled with when I left my other job.

Good luck. Have a good first day.

Hmmm, I must have missed something. I didn't know you had another job lined up. At any rate, I will not wish you luck.

You don't need it.
