Tomorrow morning I begin my pharmacy technician externship.
The shift is 7 hours long, Monday through Thursday.
I haven't worked (because face it, it's a job, even though I'm paying to be there) since the very end of 2007. I left my job and eventually began the path to SSDI, which I am now on. I'm working on going off of SSDI but not quite yet. I'm kind of waiting to see how I do with the externship before I decide on applying for jobs. But I digress.

A lot of "first in a long time"'s tomorrow! Does anyone have any advice for me? Encouragement and literal suggestions are welcome.

Like I said, it's been a long time. I also haven't had to be on my feet for 7 hours a day since the last job but I'm really hoping I adjust quickly, physically. I'm worried my physical situation & mind are going to cause me some issues. Nervous I won't be able to handle the stress and manage and balance all of what's going on in my head without passing out from it spinning 'round and 'round lol. Not trying to crap out before I even get there, just trying to be realistic. I know there's no use in worrying, but I can't help but wonder. I want to make the experience as awesome as possible! I'd also just like to be able to get through it happily. Fingers crossed!

Tomorrow I will try to give myself mini-breaks, even if it's using the restroom for 2 minutes of rest. I'll do my best to stay positive and excited! Probably stretch a lot, too. I'm excited!
