I'm nervous. My last real full time work, ended in a layoff in 2010. I had a brief, ill fated attempt at another job that ended in a wrongful dismissal case, after they decided I was a bad fit 2 weeks after I disclosed my mental health history. I've only done very sporadic contract work since then.

Now I've landed a part time job as a cook. I start next Mon. I'm nervous. I'm worried I'm going to find it too hard physically, I was an accountant before, and I'm pretty out of shape, and I know it's going to be hard to adapting to a routine again.

But I want to be working. And the organization I've been hired with only hires psychiatric consumers, so they're flexible around Dr's appointments. which is good.

I'm hoping it'll turn out to be a good fit. I'm just nervous.
