Hi G,

Congratulations on getting the job and for negotiating a bit more than they offered! I know you are afraid…sometimes getting out of your comfort zone is super scary. For me, the times that I took the leap on something that scared the crap out of me, the results were well worth it. And as you said, this job will look great on your resume for when you move. So if you don’t love it as much as the old one, then, that is not such a bad thing to get out of it.

I think the changes will be good. You need change to get out of this rut you might be in. You are bright and work hard and people like you so you will find a way to make it what you want it to be. I’m proud of you for going after it! Congratulations!

As for the dating, well, I think I said all I needed to say on my past post to you. Mix it up. Slow it down. Do video first dates to weed out losers like the last guy. That way you don’t spend too much time or energy on the ones not worth a real first date. Are you interested in another date? Then do one. If not, then that is your sign to stop seeing that person.

Sorry the stress of all the things got to you. I hope your trip fed your soul a bit.

El
