Well, I am super excited to have found a new job. I start Monday. The location is great for me. The people who interviewed me were very nice.

It's entry-level in a sandwich and coffee shop that specialized in natural/organic food. The pay is good.

The atmosphere seems good. And they set my schedule so that I can work my direct sales work around it.

All that said, I think I'm worried that it's too good to be true. I'm embarassed to admit that it seems like a great situation for me: so I'm afraid I'm gonna mess it up.

There have been other factors that have been stressful. (Like trying to have a sense of humor about my financial situation.) But I think this was the "last straw".

In fact, I'm so nervous, that after a few years, I've decided to start the entire program over again. If anyone has a helpful story, simple mantras or ideas on how to deal with panic in the midst of a lunch rush/rude customers/getting along with co-workers--I'd be grateful. Also Bible quotes and faith-based, especially Christian, comments from my friends are always welcome.
I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
Psalm 13:6
