So, it's ok to admit I've been overwhelmed. I know they will bring up mistakes I've made and I've made some...Can I chalk that up to being overwhelmed? I don't want to dwell on the mistakes, I'd rather get a clear sense of what's ahead.
I know perf. editor will try to corner me into focusing on the mistakes. He wants me out.
Part of me thinks they are only having this meeting because they pity me. I need to let that go.
If they say...well, the job IS this list. Then? Am I honest? I can't do all that.
There are two editors on staff who HAVE accomplished all on those lists. There are reporters who do it and manage small papers because jobs are so scarce. The editor who hired me is planning to show me a paper he wrote single-handedly...I'm not sure I can keep this up. I KNOW I CAN'T KEEP THIS UP.
