Oh, sounds like it all might work out for you after all. It is important for us folks who live with mental illness to keep our self-esteem up. Just remember that if you have to encounter this jerk again, while you are working there, not to internalize what he says. Let it roll off your back.

You always seem like you have a lot going for you when I read your posts. I know it is hard to get back into the swing of things after being out of the job market for awhile. This job may be that first step you need towards getting back into the places where you want to be.

Good luck!
