This will be my eleventh year in the company, though I've not been in the same position or place for that length of time. This will actually be the sixth place I've worked as far as locations go. I left the one before last cuz tbh, I was on the brink of a nervous breakdown. I was in a managerial position I didn't feel ready for with a boss and deputy manager who treated me like a skivvy, often giving me the silent treatment if I wasn't up to speed on things and just being complete twats. I was hitting the valium and booze whist on the job cuz my nerves were shot to pieces. I was even self-harming (which I'd never done before or since) and became pretty gaunt. I didn't feel I could talk to anyone about it at the time, but I often phoned 'The Cool Boss' (i.e my current one) explaining/complaining how much it was driving me nuts (without going into too much detail). But she knew when she saw me one day that I wasn't myself, and she offered to get me out of there. Luckily something else came up, but I was reluctant to go for it as I'd be working for someone I'd had problems with before. But thought I'd give her the benefit of the doubt in the hopes that she'd changed since I last worked with her. T'wasn't the case, and 'The Cool Boss' came to the rescue again. I just accepted whatever work she had going for me at the time, which was only ever meant to be temporary cover. She even offered me a full-time position last week in another role just so I could stay, but I wouldn't be happy doing it, so declined.
Anyhow, my new manager's friends with my current one, and she assures me that he'll give me no hassle and just let me get on with my work. I trust her. I've absolutely no reason not to. She's a diamond.
S'allright.
I'm quite excited for once. No anxiety at all.
