Also, Jess, a warning--whenever I start a new job i feel fine for a little while--I'm new, no one expects me to know things! But then there's a point a bit in where I feel like I ought to know things and STILL DONT and it makes me crazy and feel like I'm an awful employee. Hint: If you feel this way you probably aren't.

"You're right, Jess, you really are a fakir, your incompetence will be revealed!"
That's your insecurities talking. See how idiotic it looks?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that! It's a confidence/competence thing, I think -- at first you know you don't know anything, eventually figure out what you don't know, but then it takes time to learn it.
GOOD LUCK! You are smart and capable!

Because books.
You will be great, Jess. I've met you, I know.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Okay, email sent. Now to have a quick panic attack at my desk and then go for a walk while I wait for paperwork/next steps.

I really, really, really hate and fear change. My current job is like an old pair of shoes where the soles are almost worn through so they're really uncomfortable almost all of time, but I've had them forever and wearing them until they literally fall apart is so much easier than breaking in a new pair. All hail the mighty inertia.

Best of luck, Jess!

Got it! It's the Dunning-Kruger Effect -- I was thinking of the dip in this graph.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay change! Woo! Embrace the Change! Also, you can totes do this, and will rock it. I look forward to the "I am so glad I made the change" posts in the future.
