wait...wait...wait...HURRY UP!!

So today I finally get my offer package in the post. I am, of course, thrilled.

And then I read it.

What is today? The fourth? They put my start date on the 15 (!) for the love of Pete! A brand new city in which I know no one.

Phtt.

Good money. Lots of help getting there. But I need an apartment and all that. Hell, my last big exam for my last big certification is on the 14th.

Yesterday, I had no clue about the start date, or when the package would arrive. Today, suddenly, I am *gasp!!*

All. Of. A. Sudden. I have tons to do.

I am thrilled to be getting on with this, yes. But I am quickly overwhelmed.

(This all sounds like whining and not at all like me. I am not whining. I am tired and overwhelmed. Good tired. Good overwhelmed. But overwhelmed nonetheless.)
