The office has moved over the weekend. In a new office and new environment and new parking and new route to work and new fucking everything.
I am not coping well. I know shit will settle down and I will become accustomed to the changes but right now I am fucking stressed and anxious and want to call in sick or something and know I can't.
You've made me realize how fortunate I am in so many ways. I've sometimes felt awkward when meeting new people, but being an auditor had immense challenges way beyond that. We would find out our assignment and have to show up in some forsaken place on time the first day. Sometimes I would drive there before then on my own time to make sure I knew where it was (before computer maps). Walk into a room of sometimes hostile and afraid people, set up and get to work. I didn't have too much anxiety as an auditor because most times I was part of an audit team and we were the authority. But I wonder how much the whole scenario might have been mildly unsettling to me and lead to my early retirement.
